Remember
Roula and Deinah who were living in Greece and featured on the BONES web
site for several months? When they finally did come into the UK,
they did not come in under BONES, but we still often get people who
remember reading about them and asking for any news about them both.
Jane
and Chris, their new owners, first contacted BONES long before we ever
heard of Roula and Deinah. They were looking for a companion for
their English Setter, Pepper. Without going into great lengths -
they finally got two companions for her.
Jane
has always kept me informed of their progress and I thought it would be
nice to include some photos and share their story with you all....
Hello,
we just wanted to let everyone who remembers us know how very happy we
are now, we have 3 lovely walks a day, our house is on the edge of
Epping Forest, which is perfect for all sorts of dog adventures. Our
great friend, laid back Pepper, has accepted us into her home very
graciously from day one and we thank her for that.
She soon let us know how we had landed on our paws!

Deinah
says - We all love a cuddle, I like to lay back next to
Chris snuggled up on his chair if he lets me, then I can rest my
head on his shoulder and lick his chin.
I can smile and talk, I crinkle up my nose and give a
huge smile when I am trying to be extra charming, and I have my
own repertoire of funny noises to talk with.
I love to chase squirrels round the woods, and play with
Pepper in the park and can be quite protective of the other 2 if
I think another dog is interfering with my family.
I was very nervous of people and other dogs when I
arrived but I have made lots of friends now.
I am much more confident and have also learned what fun
it is to play with toys, something I did not realise for quite a
while. I love to
carry off a slipper, but never damage them.
My favourite place is the bed where I feel safe, and I
love to sleep. |

says - I love to nudge you with my nose (which has made it
very shiny), and I can stand any amount of fuss made of me. When
I arrived I tried at first to nest under the rosemary bush
outside, it was pouring with rain - I though that was all there
was for me, I had never been in a house of my own before! But
I love it now, so many places for me to relax without a care in
the world - except what time is dinner and when are we going out
again? Oh and when is Chris going to give us his
toast crusts? Despite
all the horrible things in my early life, I am amazingly
trusting and friendly with everyone.
I now have a beautiful soft thick coat and very soft
silky ears. I used
to hate loud noises, particularly fireworks, they made me bark
and worried me but not any more.
I love the toy box, I like to get everything out and
throw it around, until I find my favourite yellow ball (which
must always come to the park with me).
I am not so good at putting them all away again though.
I have a nick-name - Bobby Two Shoes - because I can do
quite an impressive tap dance with my front feet. |

Most
of all we have to thank Chris for taking us on, he has been very kind
and considerate to take us all under his wing and he looks after us
better than anyone ever could. Thank
you.
DEINAH
& ROULA
Two
'very' lucky girls. Happy endings don't you just love them. Especially
when it is about our four legged friends...
