The hunt for a home continues...

Hi everyone, how are you all going?

Things have been really busy lately as I'm in the process of checking out my potential new owners. As you all know from my blog I legally became free after the great result from my court case. I was hoping to appear but wasn't needed in the end which was really disappointing as I had a new collar & coat I was keeping for special occasions.

Anyway I have met a lovely family who wrote to me last year when I first came to the SPCA; it was really nice that so many of you wrote me letters, sent cards & helped me to get better. I can't thank you enough for helping me out when I was so sick. Special thanks to all those wonderful people who offered to adopt me but unfortunately I have a mortal enemy called "cats" which a lot of you already have so it just couldn't work out having me move in. Sorry, I'm getting off track a bit but one family have kept in touch and we were introduced about three or four weeks ago and we hit it off right away. They tell me they have a lovely big back yard with lots of trees and go walking every day so it sounds perfect.

One of the things I had to consider is that they have another dog which is a girl & as hard as it is to believe she is the spitting image of me. I know your thinking that can't be possible as how could there be another dog as pretty and captivating as me but she looks just like me but smaller(and perhaps not quite as pretty as me) but ok. Unfortunately she isn't quite as well behaved as me either so I had to explain in doggy language that rushing into my personal space and barking in a very loud voice was just not the done thing. I advised her owners that perhaps a week or two of training would make the world of difference and they could bring her back to try again over the next week or two. I am more than willing to help sort it out and on the next visit things were much improved and yesterday we were both off lead and after a few subtle corrections given by yours truly she was starting to really get the hang of things. I almost gave in and thought about starting a play game but then thought no!! I can't afford to let her get away with anything just yet but she really is quite appealing so next week we will try again and I just might let her know I'm really quite a softy. If everything works out ok I will go for a drive after that and visit their house, meet the kids and check out the accommodation.

Don't worry I'll keep you all informed as to how its going and the papers and TV might be interested as I am quite a celebrity so hopefully you'll get to see me get adopted and go to my new home. I can't wait, it's all getting so exciting and although I have really enjoyed my stay at the SPCA and I love all the staff to bits, I will be pleased to just be a normal dog again.

I'll keep you posted.

Take care, luv you all

Eve
