A long long time this time....

Well I dont have any excuses prepared to tell you about why I havent updated the blog for so long but I would say that many things happended....some very bad and some very good.

To sum up all the things and not repeat myself with the same histories I can tell you that the worst thing ever happened to our human-doggy family was on the 14th of October, when Ben was hit by a car a died instantly.

All of us were devastated, we couldn't sleep for days and I felt like I had a big heavy stone pressing down my heart!!!!

He was such a good fella...always happy and smalling although some times he was a bit rough playing with my ears and barking to the human pups...

Play happy and endless behind the rainbow my little brother, we will always remember you and we will carry you in our hearts for ever.

So, the house was so empty without him that Peter went to S.S.P.C.A in Mahon Point Cork and got us something to cheer us up.

His name is Darwin.

At the beginning I didn't like the idea of him replacing Ben and I made that clear!!! He slept on the floor in the kitchen for the three first nights..no way I was going to allow him to jump up to my bed...

But eventually he looked so sad and depressed that I started to let him come closer and closer to me without eat him up!!!
Furthermore, Eva explained to me that he wasn´t replacing Ben and that it wasn't his fault Ben wasn't there anymore, In fact, he was a new friend who would share the pen with me in the dark winter days while she was away...

So at the moment nearly three months later we have become the best of friends...

Christmas at home decorating the tree.

He even knows the same tricks than Ben knew by now and some new too.
Someday I should grab the video recorder and tape him but it is a bit difficult because he is really fast and I am a bit clumsy with my paws on the camera with all those buttons and as well as that, when he is practicing the tricks I normally practice them too!!! But I promise we will show off ourselves!!!

 I will tell you Darwin´s history...It is a bit sad really, but it has a happy ending...

Darwin mother was brought up to the shelter because she was pregnant with him and his brothers and sisters..six in total...three girls and three boys but unfortunately one of his sisters died due to a heart disease.

Us in foster care.

Darwin Sleeping

Darwin´s mother

His mother is a Border Terrier but we know nothing about his father, we believe that he wasn´t a terrier because Darwin temper is very good and friendly and he even likes cats...UFFF!!!
He is the best friend with Hebe, they share bed and everything...He chases her sometimes all right, but more of a play than anything...
 
When Peter went to the shelter only Darwin and a brother of him were left.
Peter chose Darwin because he was way more playful and he kept coming back to him bringing a ball!!!
So the truth to be told is that he is a "little bit Hyper" and needs loads of exercise to relax at night...And if I keep telling you truths... he also wet his bed!!!...I reckon that he is too small to retain himself long enough but Eva and Peter are not happy with that...and keep blaming each other...I dont know what that has to do with Darwin but anyway you know this humans...

Ok now, my paws are not used anymore to write so long, so I will post some of our new aventures soon...I promisse!
