    Sassy has pinched Paula's favourite toy - apparently!

    Paula and I are off to England on Thursday. This will be a challenge as anyone who knows Paula will appreciate. I am hoping that, when we are on the ferry, she doesn’t eat my car. However, the most challenging thing about the journey will be finding food that Paula will eat. You see, she is a bit of a fussy eater, at the moment she eats five sausages for breakfast – but only if they’re cooked a certain way! If I don’t cook them to her liking, she eats a couple of small pieces and leaves the rest. So, as am I a slave to her every whim, I put them back in the microwave for an extra minute then cool them down for her. When I put them back in her dish, she eats them with enthusiasm. I swear she looks at me as if to say, “Thanks heavens you have learned how to cook!”

    Her tea is raw meat – only raw meat! I tried giving her a tin of dog food a couple of times but she sniffs delicately at it then turns up her nose with distaste and walks away. Fancy expecting her to eat dog food! What an insult. So raw meat it is then.

    This is the very first time in my whole life that I have accommodated any dog in this way, but if I didn’t she would prefer to starve!  Anyway, wish me luck taking my little girl on holiday – I’m gonna need it!

    • I’ve enjoyed reading about Paula and now Marco.
      I have a boy called Mack,10 months old, and a darling girl Georgie, 4 months old. Mack looks just like Paula. We have beautiful dogs you & I.
      Georgie is a clown, so funny and cute and trouble, she’s changed Mack’s life completely. I have no garden left, they love to wrestle on top of plants and there is some serious excavation going on, I think they’re trying to dig me a pond. I’ve had to put what’s left of the pot plants in the old chook coop, that saves me having to return the soil and plants from the lounge to the pots.
      We live in Australia, not cold here this time of year and I’ve got a doggie door.
      I’ve always had dogs but this is the first time I’ve lived alone with puppies and I’m enjoying them so much. When my 2 dear old Maltese passed away early last year I decided on whippets.
      It’s amazing how two whippets covered in mud can dry off, have a roll on the grass and be clean.
      I’m looking forward to reading more about Paula & Marcos.

      Kind regards,

      Marlene
