Hi! My name is Boo and I am a black and white staffie whippet cross. I have just started a new life in my forever home (a name used by rescue shelters to describe a second/third/etc permanent home) so I decided to share all the new experiences I have.
I have a bit of a mysterious background, and a somewhat celebrity one. Originally, I was born on the farm of the original drummer from The Clash. I’m not sure of exactly what happened next because I don’t have a very good memory. What I do know is that after this, I got a new mum, and she took me around for a bit until she gave me to my second dad because she was a bit poorly. Eventually, my dad decided he couldn’t keep me anymore, so I ended up with my FOURTH owner, and definitely best, my new mum, Sarah.
Let me tell you a bit more about my life. My old dad doesn’t know exactly when I was born, but he thinks I might be 2 or 3 years old. Unfortunately, a few months ago I had a seizure and I swallowed my tongue. My old dad thinks that maybe it was epilepsy, but mum says that it might be a hereditary staffie disease. The vet still isn’t sure 😦 I hope I never have one again, it was really frightening!
Since I moved to my forever home, I have had a few obstacles to overcome. I’m used to being an only child, but now I have a brother and sister! They are these weird little creatures – mum says they are called cats – and they are HORRIBLE! They make these strange hissing noises and sometimes jab their paws at me and scratch! I certainly don’t like them at all.
Although, at least Rascal, the ragdoll cat, has something in common with me. He is a bit of a celebrity too! His twin brother, Socks, is one of the Blue Peter cats. I would never tell Rascal this, but I think he is the looker of the pair 😉 And I suppose, it’s not all bad; my sister Gizmo is starting to grow on me a bit. Sometimes she climbs up on the bed with me and mum when we are sleeping. I guess she might be okay.
Anyway, I need to go for my walkies now to catch some squirrels (more on this later!) so I will update soon. *arf*
P.S. Please take part in my poll. I just can’t decide myself!
