We'll I'm here in the uk. My plane landed at Manchester this morning at 2.16 and Carol and Geoff picked me up. Because it was the middle of the night and I am very scared and unconfident they brought me to their home in Cheshire for a couple of weeks TLC as my foster mum and dad, infact I think I will call them fm and fd to you.
I was a very good girl. I got out of my crate and jumped into their car without being told and fm sat in the back with me and I looked out of the window.
When we got here we went into the conservatory and I had some water and a little chicken and rice which I ate up, but I couldn't settle so Fm lay down on the settee in the conservatory and stayed with me. I managed a doze for about an hour but really all I want to do is go outside. Fm says she understands as I've been used to the pound and kennels. So she opened the doors properly at 6am and I feel much happier.
However, because I'm scared and don't know or trust anyone I've been looking for ways out of the garden. I even climbed right on top of the log store but fm said to get down so I did. Then I had a bit more chicken and rice and gradually I think I've decided I don't need to try and run away.
Fm went to let the chickens out and I followed her, but they thought I was a fox, must be my bushy tail, and they made a right racket. I immediately thought I had done something wrong and hid behind a tree and I was cowering, but fm called me and said I was a good girl and tickled my ears so I smiled with my eyes and looked happy. She said I mustn't be scared it wasnt my fault and even though it had obviously been my fault in the bad days it wasn't now.
Then guess what. Fm's daughter lives next door and there is gate between the two gardens. She went to let her chickens out and her little girl, my fm grandaughter who is 8 was with her. Fm was talking to them at the gate and fm said to me "come send say hello" and I did. I went tight up to the gate and put my nose through to sniff then. Fm told me I was very brave
Talking of sniffing. It smells really different here. I keep sitting with my nose in the air sniffing with my eyes shut. I do it for ages.
Oh yes, fm has a cat who I have seen. I wagged my tail at her but she just looked at me and walked off. Guess we will be friends then but a bit later.
Oh well, sleep is catching up on me. I've decided lying in the sun and catching some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is better than writing this.
Speak soon and thank you all so much for caring about me. I will be going over to visit auntie Glenys soon to say hello. Just need to get over my jet lag.
