I literally had no idea that I was going to be leaving Just For Dogs that day and I nearly didnt get to say goodbye to my best friend Flora, but luckily we caught her on the way out and we got to have a quick play before I left.
I woke up just like normal, next to Flora, wagged my tail a bit and was fetched to go with Ebony, Mum and Keeley, just like we were going on a usual dog walk, but we didnt go for a walk. We spent forever in reception, I have no idea what they were doing but they were writing on paper and everything looked very official. I was more interested in the dog food in the freezer though, mmmm! They were talking for ages and I just wanted to go for my walk.

When we finaaaaaally left reception, we went to a white car, I had never been in one of them before and I was unsure at first, Mum had to lift me in. It was exciting, seeing all the new things around me and experiencing new things. I did wonder where we were going though. Were we going on an adventure somewhere else? Were we going to a different country? Was I going to their home? Yes, I was going to their house, well, my house too now, I shortly realised.

I have never really been in a house before so it was awesome, but I did know that I had a lot of exploring to do. As soon as my lead was off, that was it, I was off. There were so many new smells and so many things I hadnt seen before. Thankfully, after searching the whole house I realised that there were no other animals in the house, I am the only one- lucky me. I am not good at sharing attention, I need it all. I love cuddles and tummy rubs.

| Ebony must have been so smiley because she brought me home, I mean, who wouldnt be? |
When I had done exploring, I settled down for a bit on the sofa and I had a drink from my new water bowl. I then had a few biscuits too but I wasnt really that hungry. I do love holding hands with Ebony though, it makes me feel safe.

Then I got to explore the area around where I live now! There are so many trees, we live near a mini wood and there is so many flowers in it and places to hide. Theres a stream and I have found my love for water, I love splashing around and seeing what I can find. And I just love shaking off at the end and getting as many people wet as I can. Theres ducks, so many ducks and I even saw some chicks! Theres so much grass- my favourite is long grass, I love running through long grass! I just love where I live now and I discovered this on my gotcha day.

We also visited my Nan and Grandads house on my gotcha day too. We visited at the end of the walk before we turned home. They have a big garden with quite low fences, I dont think I am quite ready to be let off my lead just yet, they might have a scare else! We then went home for cuddles- I wasnt joking when I said I loved cuddles. Especially with Ebony, but I am liking them a bit more with Mum and my other sister, Keeley. I still have some work to do with Dad but we will get there!
 |
| Aaaaaaand sleep. |
Guess where I slept that night? I slept on Ebony's bed. On a bed. An actual bed. I dont think I was supposed to though, my own bed was originally downstairs but I didnt want to sleep on my own so Mum moved it upstairs down the side of Ebony's bed. Still, it wasnt close enough to Ebony so I ended up in bed with her, lay on her actually.

And that concludes my gotcha day! I had such a fun day and I cant wait for the future with my new family!
