My next holiday was in Deauville, France. This meant that I had to have an injection for Rabies, and blood tests, in order to get a passport. I don't like going to the Vet's at all, and always shake with fear, but I was very brave, and now have a nice passport with my picture in ! The vet man tries to be very nice to me, and looks after me well, my Mummy is always telling me that I am lucky to have him !
Mummy was to keep her vow, and not go away and leave me again, she used to like to go to the USA, and far away places, but not any more. This holiday meant we had a very long drive to Folkstone, and going through the Channel Tunnel in the train with the car. It took such a large amount of time, but it was just the start of my many European Adventures ! ........................ I do have calendars, greeting cards and other products for sale, and any money raised will be donated to The Maltese Rescue Fund. Click here to have a look, I have two different stores:- http://MoragBates.redbubble.com/
Post Script
I suppose I should explain a little about my Mummy being so upset when she had to go away and leave me. As a little girl, and being an only, and lonely child, as her little brother had died, all she ever wanted was a dog.
When she was about ten years old, she begged and pleaded to her parents for a puppy, and eventually, she was given a little female border collie for her birthday. She loved her so much, and called her Flora. Flora was the center of Mummy's world, but her Father would not let the pup sleep in the house, and made her stay in the garage at night, then, when Flora cried, and whined, or barked, he would beat her, which then made my Mummy cry. Sometimes she tried to sneak Flora into the house, and got caught, so then she was scolded and smacked too. It was all very sad.
After some months, her parents decided that Flora was to be sent away to a farm for ever. My Mummy was forced, by her Father to hand her adored pet over to the farmer, who then tied her up with a rope.
My Mummy was then dragged away from Flora's desperate cries; her world had collapsed...... It is something that she has never forgotten....... ......... It broke my Mummy's heart.
