Chapter Two - My New Friend

This is my new friend Elizabeth. She loves me so much - she cuddles me so tight it strangles me. She is such a sweet and pretty girl. I really get along with pretty girls you see.

I spent a sleepover weekend at Elizabeth's house in Wales.

We played in the garden. She took out her little tykes playground and bouncy castle! Lol, as if. Luckily she didn't throw me in the bouncy castle - not because I am scared but I am concerned my nails are too long I might rip and deflate it.

Then the family took me in the park. Elizabeth's mum tied my lead wrongly so I managed to escape and run around the park. It was a very nice sunny day, I enjoyed it very much.

We also had a picnic in their garden. Elizabeth fed me with my dog biscuits and forced me to drink strawberry juice - which turned out to be nice and sweet to the taste.

The weekend away was very exhausting. After the two and a half train ride from Cardiff to London, we had to take buses because the London Underground suspended some of its services (as usual). I feel sorry for the tourists, apart from being ripped off by souvenir shops, they also struggle to commute around.


I got home very late at night very tired but happy to find a new friend - Elizabeth.

Chapter One - Journey Starts

My journey starts in a bus. Yes, I take the red double decker bus. Firstly, pups like me are not granted a driving license in the UK, secondly, parking is so difficult and expensive in London and thirdly, I do my share for the environment. I know the Sloane Rangers will disagree but hey, this is the City of London and it's okay to take a bus! The red bus is one of London's popular trademark so if you are a London Pupshionista (or a tourist), the red bus is a great way to get around the city.


Some grumpy drivers ask me to go upstairs for some reason, but others are cool and let me get my own seat by the window on the lower level to get a clear view of London and the walking fashionistas on the road. In this picture, I am on my way to Tower Hill where the famous Tower of London and the great Tower Bridge are. If you want a sneak preview of the Queen's lovely BLING and know how most things started in England, get inside the Tower of London. I will take you there shortly. Tip: I am on Bus No. 15 that passes through Oxford Street, Regent Street, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Hill all the way to Blackwall. A nice cheap bus to get to the famous spots.


By the way, I forgot to introduce myself (silly me!). My name is Kichi, it means good luck or lucky in Japanese - for some reason. Many dog owners name us "lucky" in different languages thinking we are going to bring them luck. Well, I can only say, Good Luck to them because I do not really believe in these things. For me, success and happiness is made by you not the people (or the dogs) around you.


Now for some drama.....


I was born in South London (to my knowledge) in an Indian family household, and because my first owner's child had allergies to my fur (they said), they had to move me to Essex to their relative who owns a pair of Pomeranians. Sadly, the other Pom is soo jealous of me (because I am prettier than her), the owners opted to sell me on the Internet.


Luckily, a few days later I found a new home. I moved in a house with another dog, a twelve year old Border Collie - Ben. A nice big garden and my own pup house with a little veranda for me to relax when the sun is out.


Moving from one home to another was a very traumatic experience for me. It always felt I was unwanted. Everytime my owners take me to their car, I always fear they will deliver me to a new owner. But actually they were just taking me to the vets or shopping with them. I was so paranoid.


But now I am beginning to like travelling here and there and been to many places and done some sleepovers too so this is where the adventure starts........
