Heeeeeeeey there Kat & Mitch😀
What a lovely, lovely surprise to find you here 😊
What would I have done without your help???
I now realise I NEED to start clubbing again to get my feet strong enough 👟👟💪🏽👊🏾 to be able to get those ridiculously tight "pins" off the wheel 🔩🔨💥
Eurydice thanks you so much for the cuddles and will surely keep you amused until we get back to the UK 🐮
Hope you have a wonderful time in Portugal, stay happy and well, big kiss flying your way and woof woofs from Eureka 😘🐶🐾❤️

She is SUCH a happy girl! I think that video of her dancing in the garage is possibly my favourite EVER. It is IMPOSSIBLE to watch without grinning from ear to ear. Lovely to see her with your daughter too. And in the sea... it's all just so full of joy. Wonderful!
Love to you all!
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
That's it, we're packing our bags and joining you!
Oh my what fun. I loved seeing her prance in the water and then plop down with so much charm. BEAUTIFUL!!!
