Cyprus<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

On The Streets<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Found a dark corner to sleep in last night but it was noisy and I had to keep one eye out in case one of those nasty hoomans chased me away. Don\u2019t want to travel too far as I have found someone who passes me all this yummy food every evening \u2013 sometimes a weird mix and I am not too keen on the green bits but the pieces she calls pizza crusts are very tasty.<\/p>\n

Disaster couldn\u2019t find any food today \u2013 pesky cat nicked my one piece of food \u2013 I don\u2019t like cats \u2013 always trying to steal from me. Very hungry tonight.<\/p>\n

A lad spoke nicely to me, offered me some of his sandwich and gave me a cuddle \u2013 I like him and think I am going to follow him home He has made me a collar and is leading me to a very nice looking home \u2013 oh no a lady shouting at him and me \u2013 he looks sad and he has led me away to a noisy place \u2013 so many dogs \u2013 it\u2019s too noisy I want to stay with my nice man.\u00a0 He has tears and has just given me a cuddle. Hopefully he will be back soon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Rescue<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t stop crying \u2013 my man hasn\u2019t come back. The ladies here are lovely but they are so busy and can\u2019t give me all the cuddles I crave \u2013 better than food I think.<\/p>\n

Someone came and clicked something at me said they were taking pictures whatever that is \u2013 I cried at them but they just had time for a quick pat. Oh it\u2019s so noisy \u2013 why don\u2019t all the dogs shut up?<\/p>\n

A lady hooman has said I may not be here much longer \u2013 don\u2019t like it here but don\u2019t want to be out on the streets again. Apparently someone liked my pictures?<\/p>\n

Had to go and visit a very nice man who did something I wasn\u2019t keen on \u2013 he stung me with something and I went to sleep \u2013 now feel something is missing? Been here a couple of times and don\u2019t like the sharp things which apparently will keep me well but I felt fine anyway\u2026strange hoomans but they give me cuddles so not all bad.<\/p>\n

Leaving the cage..into a smaller one? Not keen on this but hoomans around so must be okay I suppose. Noisy dogs in other cages and it\u2019s got a bit cold.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

New beginnings<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh.. a very nice man called Ash has moved me to another cage but it\u2019s warmer and more comfortable. We even stopped, got a croissant and time to stretch our legs.<\/p>\n

Boy am I tired \u2013 it\u2019s been a long day and we are stopping again.<\/p>\n

Ash has a new lead to put on me and I can see lots of people standing looking at me.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lady looking very excited \u2013 think I will go and see her first \u2013 maybe I will get a tummy rub! Oh I am going home with the lady \u2013 she says she is my new mummy and I have given her lots of kisses as I don\u2019t want to go back into a cage.<\/p>\n

I am in a house with my mummy\u2019s parents \u2013 everyone is giving me cuddles. It\u2019s all very nice but I don\u2019t want to lose mum \u2013 I really like her!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Going “Home”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

After a few days mum says she is taking me home! Not sure I want to get in a car again but she is getting in there so I am going too. It\u2019s a long journey with lots of stops so I can have a sniff around.<\/p>\n

I like this place \u2013 it\u2019s not too hot. When we finally stop – mum says it\u2019s my new home \u2013 I meet lots more people.\u00a0 Mum wants to keep me quiet so I can explore or rest but I want to say hello to everyone.<\/p>\n

No shouting, no things thrown at me, no pesky cats to steal my food \u2013 I love it here- well apart from this really annoying little dog already here \u2013not having that – he might steal my mum. I will keep barking at him \u2013 that will keep him away. Why is he trying to get to me? Must be after my mum \u2013 he can\u2019t have her.<\/p>\n

Mum keeps putting funny things in front of me \u2013 not sure what she wants me to do \u2013 it\u2019s not food or cuddles. Now and then she throws things around and then goes and gets them to bring back to me \u2013these hoomans are strange \u2013 why throw it if she wants it back again?<\/p>\n

Mum keeps trying me on this strange brown stuff \u2013 smells funny \u2013 mum says it\u2019s dog food \u2013 not like any food I have ever eaten.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Playtime<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Sorted mum now about my food \u00a0\u2013 she now cooks me dinner so I don\u2019t have to eat that dog food stuff. Mum thinks I don\u2019t like it because I never had it as I was growing up but I think it\u2019s because mum\u2019s cooking is better\u2026although dad doesn\u2019t agree \u2013 he said mum is better at pulling pints (whatever that is?)<\/p>\n

Mum got all teary today \u2013 apparently the thing I have been throwing around is a toy for me \u2013 I was only trying to throw it so I could bring it back for cuddles but apparently just throwing it up and down gets me cuddles too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
