Cannot tell you how much I enjoy seeing these delightful sacred pictures! Still having strong enough connection issues to catch up on the videos, but I will see them!!
I love that "Auntie" did an about face when she saw how happy Eurydice was and not "disabled" at all!! I'm just astounded at the number of hearts Magnificent Eurydice has touched and the number of people she has inspired! ,
Oh, I congratulated Miss Cow earlier in a FIVE month ampuversay. It should jave been CONGRATULATIONS on a SIX MONTH AMPUVERSARY!! ๐ ๐ Keep these milestones coming!!
Love and hugs and smooches!

Well, we were having a bit of an uneventful day today.
Mom did take me to the forest which was nice and then we went back to the flat and sheย packedย and loaded the car.
Mom grabbed a bite at a bakery and told me we were going to stay in a different place tonight, just a few hours away.ย
She is not giving me a lot of information so I am a little suspicious ...
Will she be taking me back to London already ????

AND I think I was here before ...
Hey, I recognise this courtyard !
I am so happy I cannot restrain myself, I've got to do some of my famous mad spins !
Mom was so over the moon with my crazy danceย she filmed me even if it was so, so dark.
But if you follow the white markings on my fur you mightย be able to see how fun it is to spin on 3!

Oh my goodness, Eurydice! What a magnificent adventure you are having, a magnificent adventure for a truly magnificent girl! I'm not surprised you were doing spins. I would be doing spins myself. Spins are the only appropriate reaction to arriving in such a beautiful place. I can't tell you how much I want to climb into the pics and be right there with you and your Momma.ย
Sending you a massive hug and a whole salami just for you.ย
