Queen of the hide and seek game!

1...2....5…3….7….12.10… coming ready or nottttttttt……..

Ahaha I bet he’s behind door…. Nope… erm try the kitchen .. nope… upstairs.. nope………I know the wood shed! …nope…”Muuuumm Louis isn’t playing fair he won’t come out even when I’ve told him I give up!”

Hi everyone it’s only me Olga..

That was me a few weeks ago, when Louis told me we were going to play hide and seek, and it was my turn to seek, I searched for days but couldn’t find him. I went to tell Mum and she cuddled me for ages and she must have drooled on me because my neck was wet through when she let me go – ewww Mum! She told me Louis had gone to play on the farm over the rainbow bridge, with all his friends.

I thought how rude! Why didn’t he tell me?

I’m still not happy with Louis for leaving me plus Mum and Dad have both really sad, I tried to make them happy by bringing Dad my ball to play with but he just didn’t seem to be bothered with it, so I tried my favorite pink bone but that didn’t work either, I thought wow this is going to take something really big to help, so I ran upstairs and found the last bit of Frisbee I had hidden from Louis in my bed, but that didn’t work either he looked really sad.

I’m really mad with Louis because I’ve had to work out how I look after Mum and Dad with no instructions - which is not easy let me tell you! I’ve had to get up early and stare at Dad till he wakes up and take him out for a run every day, but only if it’s not raining – if I hear the rain the I just go back to bed after I’ve woken Dad, I’m sure he doesn’t mind. I have to let Mum check my gums all the time, honestly I don’t know how Louis did it, he was right being top dog is not easy! I might need some help with this!

Being on my own wasn’t much fun at all, even my Nana with the see through roof was sad, honestly did they not understand I tried my hardest to find him, it’s not my fault he cheated and sneaked off without telling me!

Mum and Dad said we were going to see Auntie Pam and my FOND friends, which I was excited about, I made sure I packed all my toys and was ready and waiting when Mum came home. When we got to Auntie Pam’s I ran out and gave her a great big kiss and cuddle, she said I looked lovely – of course I dooooo.

We all had a drink and Auntie Pam asked if we were ready to go and meet a new boy that had just got into FONDS care – hang on!! A new boy? What new boy? Mum called me over and told me we were going to meet someone called Troy who needed a new home…. Wow wow wow hang on a second… when I said I might need some help I didn’t actually mean it!!!

Mum said it was up to me to see what he’s like, and if I didn’t like him then its fine she is sure he will find a lovely home soon. I agreed to go and visit this Troy boy, what sort of name is Troy anyway!!

We arrived at Dod and Karolyn’s and went around the back of the house to see Troy, he was stood up at the gate waiting for us, he looked like Louis but with a massive long tail! I bet he gets exhausted chasing that thing! – hours of fun.

Mum and Dad made a fuss of him, and I found some of his toys, to steal..erm no I mean to play with, one is a big orange ball, which of course I decided would be better as one of my toys, so took it off him. He came hopping over to me saying “ Alrite Kidda Whatcha gawpen at”! I looked at him as I had no idea what he said so I said very slowly “HELLO… MY.. NAME… IS… OLGA”

Mum, Dad, Dod and Auntie Pam said we were going for a walk in the big field and to have a wander around the woods, Troy said it was great fun in the woods and he would show me around. We walked for ages up this big hill and then we went into this field with big balls of straw in it, Troy wasn’t allowed off his lead but Dad said I could go and have a run about. This place was great, I ran up to Troy and said “Come on”, Dod let Troy off and we had a run about, he wanted to play chase, and tagged me and then ran off, I ran after him and almost caught but he turned dead quick and I fell over and he laughed! 

I thought right matey you need to be told whose boss, so I said “I know lets play hide and seek” Troy didn’t know how to play so I explained it to him, I said “you have to count to 10 and I’ll go and hide then you have to find me” He said “Ok that sounds easy, but ermmm what’s counting?” Wow this lad is proper stupid!, I said “you have to say 1...2....5…3….7….12.10… coming ready or nottttttttt……..and then you come and find me” He said he could do that, so off I went.

I hid behind a big ball of straw and when he ran past jumped out and tripped him and them pounced on him and nipped his ear, I told him I was Top Dog, he looked at me and then gave me a kiss! Ewwwww what a horrible dog!

When we got back Auntie Pam asked if Troy wanted to come for a sleep over, he was dead excited and started bouncing all over the place shouting Yes Yes Yes, I’ll bring my toys! I said only if you bring your orange ball.

So after spending a few days with us, Mum asked if I would be happy for him to come home with us, because he needed a lovely home, and she said he would be a good friend for me, I looked at him as he was asleep on him back! And thought it might be ok, but if he does my head in Mum then when we play hide and seek next I’m not going to find him!

So we have a new member of the family, I might let him help me look after Mum and Dad but only after he has done his training!

Lots of Love

Olga and Troy…
