What we did for our 'baby'...


One day Glenn was going to work at the St.James Cavallier, Valletta. It was a rainy day, when all of sudden Glenn heard that in the building was an unusual visitor, and in curiosity he went down to see who this visitor was, and in front of the door of the main hall, there she stood, all wet tired and hungry, an unfortunate dog! She was still very young, because there was someone who keeps these kind of dogs and knows more about them than Glenn did, but she was so hungry that she looked really old. The day after, Glenn was working from 5:30pm to 00:00am, and she was still inside, it was still raining, and when Glenn was shutting the doors at 9:00pm, he felt sorried for the dog, so he phoned the manager and told her that he was going to keep her there for the night, and kindly, the manager accepted. That day Glenn gave the dog a bowl of water and even his lunch. When Glenn came back home from work, he told Kim about the Dog and they where both worried about were she would stay, because at St.James was temporarily. Two days later, Glenn after a days work, came home picked Kim up and went straight back to the St.James for the dog whom we called Kylie. But the biggest problem was that his mum knew about Kylie, but his dad didn't! At first she used to sleep in a small room on the roof, but when we used to go up to play with her a bit, and came back down again, she used to start barking and the problem was that we didn't want Glenn's dad to hear her. One day we went up to give her food and play with her, and when we where going back down, she started barking so loud that Glenn's dad strated asking questions, and we didn't want him to kick Kylie out, so in a cold November night, we slept with Kylie on the roof! In a few weeks time, Glenn's dad went up to the roof, and saw Kylie there, and after talking to him, he said 'we could keep her', and we where really happy that she could stay with us. Now she has been with us for the last three months, we love her like she's our own baby, she even sleeps on our bed with us, but the worst part is when she snores :p ! Kylie is a very playfull dog, and we love her very very much!

What a SWEET story!!! Very moving!!! Wendy and I really enjoyed reading it together.

We have a cat at home. His name is Kikko. He had been abandoned in a skip!

Nowadays, he cannot stay without us! When we are in the kitchen, he is there with us. At night, he sleeps on our bed. He is such a loving cat!!! :)

You can see some pictures of him on my hi5 profile.

See you!
