Hi there! You don't know me so I will introduce myself and, if I may I
would like to tell you a little bit about my life story which I hope
you will find interesting.

I am a Yorkshire Terrier and my name is Benjy! I will be five years
old next April and I was born in a kennel somewhere near Ingenio in
Gran Canaria along with a sister and a brother.
The three of us were given to a local petshop and we were put on
display in a glass cabinet which was a bit humiliating. I don't
remember too much about that time but all I know is that I was '
rescued' by my adoptive parents Eamon & MIchel and taken to their
Finca in the mountains. They have been fantastic to me and please
don't tell them but I know that I have been seriously indulged since I
arrived here and I am really very very happy. When I got here, they
already had another dog called Libra. They had also rescued her after
she was abandoned by hunters at the end of the hunting season. She is
really lovely and I admit that when I first saw her I fancied her but
soon realised that she was too old for me and a bit on the 'large'
size if you know what I mean!

I must mention at this point that as Yorkshire Terriers go, I am a
very well presented specimen. I am at my prime physically and I am
intelligent, sensitive, obedient and extremely loyal. I know that I
must be good looking because when I'm out for walks all the
neighbour's lady dogs give me the ' glad eye' and make it obvious that
they would like to get to know me more intimately, if you get my
drift!

Well, just over a year ago, Libra and I were out for our morning walk
as usual when we came across a female Podenco who clearly had been
abandoned by hunters. She was very very nervous and jumpy and on that
first morning it was still quite dark and I could not get a good look
at her. The next morning however I was able to get close to her and
realised straight away that she was the most beautiful Podenco that I
had ever set eyes on and let me tell you I have seen a fair few in my
time. Little by little, Eamon got to know her and soon she would
follow us on part of our walk but she was clearly terrified of humans
and she would not let Eamon touch her or get near her. For me, it was
love at first sight and sometimes, I just could not sleep just
thinking about seeing her the next morning. After about a month or so,
Eamon got to touch her - wow, I was so pleased. Soon she started to
visit the Finca everyday and would eat the food that Eamon & Michel
left outside for her. It was 3 months before she actually came into
the grounds of the Finca and I am delighted to say that she has been
here ever since. Eamon & Michel named her ' Brisa' ( spanish for
breeze) because of the graceful way that she just glides from place to
place! She is incredibly beautiful and needless to say that she of
course succumbed to my irresistible charm and after flirting for
sometime we decided to get 'serious' last Summer and became an 'item'!

Well it is suffice to say that one thing led to another and before we
knew what was happening, Brisa became pregnant. We were shocked
especially as Eamon & Michel thought that it was impossible because of
our physical differences and we felt guilty because they already had
rescue goats, a rescue cat, rescue canaries and loads of chickens plus
a farm to run. When Brisa started to show signs of her 'condition'
they thought she was having a 'Phantom Pregnancy' and were not
concerned because it is not unusual and the physical changes can be
exactly the same as in a real pregnancy.

On Saturday, 26th November 2011 my Brisa gave birth to six beautiful
puppies ( two boys - four girls). She was assisted by Libra who helped
with the placenta and cleaning the newborns etc and Michel was there
also. As the father, I was present at the birth but did not get
involved in any of the 'nitty gritty stuff'. I was as proud as punch
of my Brisa and she has proved to be a fantastic mum ever since and I
have got to say that our six little ones are real beauties.

Well, Eamon & Michel have told us that they can't possibly keep 5 of
the puppies - they can't afford it both in terms of additional
responsibility and money - and that they are going to find the best
homes for our kids so that they are all guaranteed a good future.

Brisa and I understand and have taken it upon ourselves to ask you
kind folk if you would take one of our babies for adoption as
obviously it is of utmost importance to us that the puppies are loved
and cherished for the rest of their days!

With this in mind, we have included photos of the puppies so that you
can see how wonderful they are and hopefully you will contact those
lovely people at 'Tara' about adopting one.

After all that has happened, Brisa and I have decided that we are not
going to have anymore puppies and she is going 'to see the vet' as
soon as is possible to make sure that we don't have any more
'accidents' in the future!

Thanks for taking the time to read this and, take my advice and don't
miss out on this opportunity of having one of our offsprings to enrich
your lives more than you could possibly imagine.

Goodbye & take care.
Woof Woof
Benjy & Brisa.

I grew up with dogs and horses. No one in my family had cats, or even liked cats. Living in Center City Philadelphia now my partner and I have two Manx cats (brother & sister). They have only a very tiny thumb-sized tail stub, typical of the breed, that twitches when they are excited. They also have such great, gentle, affectionate personalities that I will always want to have Manx cats from now on. Anyone else had experience with Manx?

The making of the "Happy Inside" Ikea advert filmed at their flagship store in Wembley London. I am positive that one of the cats was my Fluffy's twin brother!!
