MEET ME, DINA!

Welcome to my blog ladies, gentleman and the dogs that can read!

When I first Met Keeley!

My name is Dina, I am 1 and a half and my birthday is in October, on the 28th to be exact. I live with my Mummy, Helen, my Daddy, Paul and my big sisters Ebony and Keeley.

I was actually born in Sarajevo, you probably dont know where that is, so let me tell you- it is in the federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Europe, somewhere near Montenegro, Serbia and Croatia, at least I think. You still dont know, right? No? Me neither really, I just know that it took what felt like forever to get over to the UK.

When I finaaaaally got over to the UK, I was taken to such a wonderful place, its called Just For Dogs, I think it is somewhere in the centre of England. Anyway, they were super nice to me there, they fed me such good food and I got to go for walks every morning! That is where I met my family.

If I get my dates muddled up, please excuse me! On the 18th of May I believe, I first met Mum, Dad and Ebony. They came to meet me in my kennel, I think it was love at first sight- I mean, how could you not fall in love with me? I was in the kennel with my friends Betsy and Max who travelled over with me. I was super nervous at first and hid behind Betsy, she is a big friendly giant so I knew she would keep me safe. But my family were so nice to me and I was excited to see them again.

Mum and Ebony came to see me again after that, I think it was the day after that, the 19th of May. We had such a good walk, Mum walked my friend Max, he was even more scared than me but once we were out we had so much fun! I even saw a dead squirrel, they wouldnt let me at it though- mean. I was really sad when they left me, I was hoping that they would come back and they did!

Ebony came back the day after with another girl, I think her name was Emily. We had a fairly short walk that day, I spent most of it giving Ebony cuddles. I think I found my best friend for real that day.

On the 22nd of May, I met another new face- my big sister, Keeley. She was so nice but we were a bit nervous of each other, I dont think Keeley liked dogs too much before she met me, obviously I converted her. I think Keeley liked me a lot because they reserved me! I would finally have a home where I can get cuddles at all times of the day.

The day finally came, 23rd of May 2019. The day when I went to my forever home. Although I was sad to leave Just For Dogs where they had been so lovely to me, I was so excited to go to my new home and for the future with my new family! It was so strange getting in the car to go home, I sat next to Ebony and she comforted me the whole way home. I saw so many new things out of the window on that journey, it was so exciting. I was so excited to get out the car and go into my new home. I made myself at home straight away and claimed the left side of the 3 seater sofa. Sometimes I even claim the whole sofa and make everyone else sit on the floor!

Anyway, I am nearly settled in now, I have slept in Ebony's bed nearly every day since I arrived, it is so comfy. It is much better than my bed, my bed is on the floor but hers is my first choice. Ebony has to race me up to her bedroom to bed or I claim the whole bed and she has to pick me up to make some space for her, haha!

I have never been for so many walks in my life! We go super early in the morning as soon as I wake up and wake Ebony up for a long walk, for a short(ish) walk in the middle of the day and another long walk in the evening. I am at my happiest when I am outside running through fields- and dragging people along with me at the end of the lead. I have found a love for water, whenever we go on a walk, I love to sprint into the water and see how wet I can get. Oh, and my favourite part you ask? Shaking off at the end of my splash about and seeing how many people I can get wet! It is my favourite game.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself to you, let you know that I am happy and that I am having fun in my new home.

Talk to you soon!

Lots of love,

Dina xo
