We are on our way to pick up our pooch – “Kookie” who has been on a holiday whilst we were on holiday in the Gold Coast. We have been home a week and its funny how you miss your pets when they are not around – I hope we haven’t left her too long that she has forgotten us – I doubt it.
 Hello mummy – love you and missed you – she knew us straight away, wouldn’t leave us alone……

 good to have her back. Now for the two hour drive home after dinner.

I have always been a lover of dogs – I had my first dog in New Zealand “Sandy” she was just beautiful a heinz variety dog – she used to follow me everywhere and I have never forgotten her – she was my only friend. We used to have 6 massive Wattle trees in our back garden and I often used to sit under the trees telling her all my woes… and she comforted me, without judging…. when we had to move back to Africa I was devistated – we had to give Sandy away and I cried for days…. I have since always had a family pet dog… over the years we have had many and my children are all doggie people:

  Kookie playing in the garden – getting a hosedown as it is hot and we have a two hour drive home – so she needs to be tired.
