It is kind of exciting to think of the Big Wide World out there and all the Things To Bark At, Rocco says he’ll give me a mobile phone so we can still talk late into the night and Put the World To Rights. I was just looking at the website to see how some of my old pals are getting on when I noticed this on my page: progress update: 19th Sep READY FOR REHOMING !!

\nRocco says that it isn’t because I’ve done anything wrong, quite the opposite.
\nHe says that he is now on the list too, and it means that he is now ready for a permanent home.
\nHe said that Helen must have decided that I’m a Care In The Community case and thought that was so funny he rolled around the floor in hysterics.
\nHe wouldn’t explain why it was so funny so I laughed too even though I wasn’t quite sure what I was laughing at.<\/p>\n
\nI’m looking forward to spending untold millions on Bonios once some Hollywood producer approaches me for the movie rights.
\nI’m also hoping that I shall be rehomed to someone who will buy me a special collar.<\/p>\n
\nbut I also feel a little bit scared too at the thought of leaving familiar surroundings.<\/p>\n
\nI do hope that I’ve been Good Enough to find A Good Home…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
