5 years, and what fun!

Post by Melliott »

Hello everyone, it's Barney here and I just wanted to let you know that today is my 5th Gotcha day. I am very excited as it is also my birthday this week on Thursday and I know mum will have got me something for me to carry around in my mouth and also something nice to eat and Molly always gets something too but I pinch it off here because I know she wants me to have it really :thumbup:

I have learnt so much since mummy and daddy collected me from MKF. I was very thin when I arrived and I didn't really know what biscuits were or treats. I tried to take Millie's tea and she was such a wonderful sister she let me. Then I discovered that I AD my own dish of food and I soon learnt that we both got fed and I started to put weight on. I was very timid and scared of my own shadow, I still am sometimes now, but not like I was, I don't like loud noises or children playing, running and screaming, mum says this is something to do with my old home but I don't like to think about it. I am really happy now we have a caravan in Norfolk and we go there a lot and I get to sit with the ducks and I love them. We go to the beach a lot, mum is going to post some of mine and molls pics for the calendar. We live next to the woods and I love running all around them when we go, mum says that she can't believe I am 10 this week.

I love to have cuddles now and loves, I didn't at first I didn't knw what it meant and it scared me.

Thank you Aunty Glenys for letting me come to my forever home, I am so very happy.

We are going to the caravan for my birthday, mum will send some pics, I will remind her !!

Love and hugs

Barney XX

Here I am in our caravan, it's a tiring hobbie.
