Many years ago when my broodiness threatened to overwhelm me but we were not ready for a child, I convinced the Mummy to let me get a dog.
And so sthe Dog arrived. A ridiculously cute ball of fluff who quickly became our little fur baby. She is not without her faults. It took us slightly over 6 months (!) to get teach her the difference between her bathroom (the garden) and our house. She was plagued with skin problems which led to many vets visits and eventually an expensive diet and medication. But we loved her….most of the time.
We were a little worried about how she was cope with the introduction of the Baby, and being relegated back to the role of dog. Thankfully she took to her new role without issue and quickly discovered the delights of baby licking, yummy baby vomit, fun stinky smells and food on the floor from our adventures with weaning.
When we decided we were going to move to Europe from Thailand I investigated the costs and procedure of taking her with us and realized that, regrettably at around 2000 euros it was going well outwith our tight budget.
Today a friend of a friend is coming to meet the Dog and may well take her home to live with them.
Both the Mummy and I are upset but I feel most for the baby. No more partner in crime.
Goodbye Dog. We will all miss you xxx
Awww 😦 At least dog’s with a lovely family, maybe baby can find a new partner in crime

Yes, I’m pretty sure she’ll be happy. She’ll enjoy not having her ears pulled everyday. Yesterday the Baby dangled him cookie under the sofa to share with her. Broke my heart a little. Although annoying too- he wasn’t supposed to feed the dog 🙂

Ah, I’m so sorry to hear this! It’s too bad that it’s so ridiculously costly to bring your dog into the UK. Is there months of quarantine involved too? If so, doggie is better off not going through that – it’s really awful for them. I hope you can get a new doggie for baby to enjoy in Europe. Love all the drawings – they had a great time together!! x

In theory if you jump through all the hoops you’d avoid the quarantine but the stress and expense means it’s better for the Dog to stick to her Thai roots with a new family I think.

Doggone it! You will be missed, pup, but may your new home be full of love, toilet paper, and other tasty, tasty, treats. I wager it’ll be at least a few months before the Mama and the Mummy stop seeing poohills on the floor and wishing you were there to help them clean ’em up.

Haha, yeah, she has gone off with some lovely people. Pretty glad she wasn’t here for the poohills. She enjoys the odd fresh cat turd- not nice when it gets mushed into her long beard.
