Hi There, I just come to live at this place – and I heard ’em say it’s called Hope Springs – and I’ve ‘pparently joined some sort of gang. Okay,…<\/span> Goody\"\"😊<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I lived in a really small place b’fore with another little \"\"🐶<\/span><\/span> dog. We di’nt really do much – though me Ma gave me good cuddles. I didn’t really have anywhere to go to the toilet and I didn’t know what I was supposed to do- and it was hard for me Mum to clean up after me all the time because she wasn’t well – so she asked these people if they could help me find a really good fam’ly to give me the best life – and help me be the best dog I can be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I have to say that all this change has been a little overwhelming for me – but very exciting too. There are a few other dogs here and it was a bit scary when I first met them all. They also put me on something I think is called grass – and I wasn’t too sure what to make of that.<\/p>\n

I got a really soft bed that’s like a cloud when I lay in it – and I think it’s more comfy than the cardboard box I had – though I really liked chewing on that box with my little sharp puppy teeth. I’ve also got some toys of my very own – and I just love the dinner here – the Dog Father makes it especially for all the dogs here.<\/p>\n

I like that Dog Father. He gives good snuggles, and he talked to me quietly and let me chew and suck on his thumb – which reminded me of being with my furry Dog Mother. I had a good long snuggle with Dog Father – but I wasn’t sure what to do with my really long legs – and kept them stuck straight out in front of me.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t really happy about going to bed by myself the first night and I barked and cried and howled. I heard them Dog Parent people say that I did need to learn that it was okay to be by myself sometimes.<\/p>\n

The next morning after I had some bickies for break-sast – we went “down the back”. All the other dogs were really excited about going “down the back” so I thought it must be a pretty good place.<\/p>\n

Wow – I don’t even know where to start. I met the Alpaca girls, I saw Max the Rooster \"\"🐔<\/span><\/span> Man, I saw chickens, ducks and big fat geese.<\/p>\n

There was so much of that grass stuff and some sloshy water. I bounced around a bit and then I discovered by watching all the others – that I could run around – and that was really fun.<\/p>\n

I thought that was about as good as it could get – but then we all got in the \"\"🚗<\/span><\/span> car and went for a thing called a walk. I didn’t know how that was supposed to work and wondered why I kept going forward and then having to stop because I was on a thing called a lead. The Dog Mother let me have a long loose lead to start with so I could get used to it – and then made it a bit shorter as I got more used to it. I really liked the walking thing. There was lots to see – cows, horses, sheep with alpacas, kangaroos and rabbits. I was really tired after, though.<\/p>\n

All of us dogs went out to the shed to help the Dog Mother put the Ruff Rover Packs together for the Homeless Expo.<\/p>\n

Oh My Goodness – I could not believe it – in this place called a study – dog \"\"🐶<\/span><\/span> biscuits \"\"🍪<\/span><\/span> rained from the sky!! All of us dogs tried to help the Dog Mother and clean up them biscuits as quick as we could – but they kept coming – until we had enough. Well – if that isn’t dog heaven – then I don’t know what would be!<\/p>\n

On anuvver day a lady an’ a man came to visit. We all showed ’em roun’ th’ place an I heard they might be my new Mum ‘n’ Dad. They both gave me belly rubs and cuddles on their lap – an’ I really liked that. I heared that I havta’ stay here for more time while I have vet stuff done – an’ then I can go live wiv’ new Mum ‘n’ Dad. We went for another walk after – an’ I was so tired after that I went to bed an’ didn’t make another sound till the next morning. ‘Pparently that Dog Mother was a bit worried \"\"😩<\/span><\/span> about me – because I was so quiet.<\/p>\n

I been tryin out th’ toys here an’ sometimes I take a shoe \"\"👠<\/span><\/span> for a walk. I try to play wiv’ all th’ uvver’ dogs but they don’ like playin as much as me.<\/p>\n

Maisie sure don’ like it when I pull her tail or her ears and bite her whiskers – but I can’t help it – she shouldn’ have such a long tail if’n she don’ want me to pull it.<\/p>\n

I heared em’ say that I’m really smart as a button and willing and eager to learn new things an’ I watch what the other dogs do and copy them.<\/p>\n

Life’s pretty good an’ I’m pretty happy \"\"😊<\/span><\/span> an’ the Dog Parents here seem pretty happy b’cause they keep laughin’ at me.<\/p>\n

Love an’ puppy kisses \"\"😘<\/span><\/span> to ev’ry-one, Marly xx<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
