Hi Readers! Dot here. I just turned five years old. I had a little party and got two of my favourite bones and a cup cake. I´m one lucky dog.


I have a good life here on the Costa Blanca of Spain since mom and dad adopted me. I thought I would share some of my favourite things with you, because mom said I could.














Thanks for reading about me and my good life.

Dot loved meeting both of you. She is not as shy as she was then but just as loveable. xo

Thanks, John. Dot has saved us from being lonely since no one can come to visit. She also gets us out for walks and entertains us. Stay safe as well. xo

Happy Birthday, Dot! Nice to read from you. Dont let it read Ollie (beetleypete.com), or he will leave Norfolk and head over to Spain, forever. 😉 Best wishes, Michael

Looks like you’ve got a good life, Dot. My dog, Lulu, has recently developed an affinity for squirrels too. She doesn’t chase them but watches their every move.

Darlene

If Dot could catch one, she´d be so happy. But her kind was originally bred for catching small animals.

Isn’t Dot splendid! And ice cream.. I know a Dog who’d sell his and every other soul he could lay his paws on for a cone

Darlene
November 10, 2020 at 1:39 am
I couldn’t find the picture of her eating a cone. (Too many pictures) She has to wait until March now!

I fell in love with her the minute I saw that face. Her personality is as sweet as she looks too. xo

It’s apparent that Dot is a member of the family, Darlene. Her furry coat and unconditional love are good for the soul. Right?

Darlene
November 10, 2020 at 1:41 am
Exactly. She is an important member of this family! And very good for the soul.

What a lovely set of pictures of Dot, Darlene. The one with the two dogs looks as if they are both smiling.

Darlene
November 10, 2020 at 1:43 am
Those two dogs just love each other. They are the same breed but Patch is a year younger than Dot, smaller and a boy. When they see each other they are so happy they do smile.

Darlene, she is the cutest thing. Dogs are one of the best things about life, I think.

Darlene
November 10, 2020 at 1:45 am
Isn’t she just. Pets, in general, are so great to have in your life. She filled the gap for us as our grandchildren are so far away in Canada.

I understand. We have three, and they are like our children.

I’d like a cupcake, too. No occasion.
This blanket looks indeed very cozy.
Happy Birthday to you, Dot!

Darlene
November 10, 2020 at 4:06 am
Dot will take a cupcake anytime too! Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Bau says Happy Birthday, Dot! I envy you for all the fun things you get to do, especially running along the beach and having children come to visit you and chasing squirrels which is also something I like to do but haven’t had much luck so far. It’s the darn leash that keeps me back, I’m sure. Five years is really something to celebrate!

Darlene
November 10, 2020 at 4:32 am
Thanks, Bau! Squirrels are very hard to catch, even when you aren’t on the leash. I have fun and would love to play with you.

Happy Birthday Dot! You are such a clever dog. I think your Mom and Dad should get you a wee climbing harness and with some lessons from squirrel you will be up that tree in no time.

Now that’s a happy birthday. You have an ice cream truck that visits you? I’m jealous.

Darlene
November 11, 2020 at 6:55 pm
We are very lucky to have an ice cream truck visit us from March to October. Every Monday around 3:30, not that I am keeping track of the time. I hear the music before they do and run to the front gate all excited.

That may be the second-best dog in the world (well, in case my dog reads this…)

That´s probably how she gets away with it.
