A Drive and a Dot

Two weeks ago we took a drive to Malaga on the Costa del Sol and drove up into the mountains to the small village of Sedelia. We encountered stunning scenery along the twisting road, a small church and a traffic jam, of goats!
We stayed in a lovely bed and breakfast with a stunning view and had dinner at a cosy restaurant in town. It was all very picturesque and a nice little get-away.
There was a reason for the trip though and that was to meet Dot, an eight-month-old Bodeguero. Dot came home with us and is now part of our family.
Dot was quite shy at first as she lived in the mountains with an elderly man so was not used to people, traffic and houses. But she has settled in well and makes friends easily. (both the human kind and the canine kind)
She loves going for walks and car rides! On the weekend we took her to a car show and she was very well-behaved.
She makes friends everywhere we go. She loves to go for coffee with us and is a big hit at all the coffee shops.
We took a drive in the car to a biker bar for tapas. Dot made friends with a boxer. (the canine type)
What do you think? Is she settling in and at home with us? Did we make a good choice?
In case you are wondering, she was already named Dot because of the large black dot on her back. I like to think it is from the delightful children´s book by Peter Reynolds, The Dot . You knew there had to be a literary reference!

Dot is lovely. How lucky you found each other. So glad she is a good traveler too! You are having fun!


Dot is such a sweetheart. And yes her name reminded me of Peter Reynold’s book that I’d just read 2 weeks ago. I think she’s settling in just fine with you and your husband, Darlene. Hope to see more of her in your posts! (I love B&Bs!)


Dot is lucky to have found you. Have fun with him. He looks like a gentle and sweet dog.


Ahhhhhh Dot is a delight such a sweetie . I see she has you well under wrap 😀. I have never heard of ‘Dot’ but I’m going to check it out . My first dog ,when we got married, was Oliver, then William , now Oscar …have you worked out the connection …I’m sure you have . Once a bookie always a bookie .

Oh Darlene, Dot is gorgeous, and she looks very happy living with you. I enjoyed all your photos and getting to meet dot. I’m sure we will be seeing her again.
I’ve been away from blogging for a while, so I’m just catching up with your posts.


[…] I can’t believe it has been over four months since we welcomed our dog, Dot into our lives. It’s as if she has always been here. Although she was quite nervous at first, she has settled into living in an urban setting. I wrote about driving to the Andalucian mountains to get her here. […]

Lovely. Reminds me of Corfu where we are staying. We have a crazy cat called Kola.

Kola is a great name for a cat. Corfu sounds wonderful! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
