Tommy's Fifth Gotcha Day!


Tom: Neither #1 nor I can quite believe it, but today's marks FIVE years since I became a member of Poupounette Central. Did you know that I am #1's first ever woofie? She had wanted one ever since she was a little girl but had to wait all that time until her dream came true.

Here is the very first photo she ever saw of me:


You wouldn't have hesitated either, would you? It was one of the pictures that were sent to #1 when she made enquiries about the litter

Here I am at 2 months:


Over the years, #1 and I have had all sorts of wonderful adventures together. Just before my first birthday, we went to England together, to the Lake District:


And then there was that time, we went to the beach!


I have made so many friends over the years. There was my first kitty friend, Sen-Chan, aka Poupounet:


 Little Vanille, the English setter


Pie, one of my mentors



This one of me and my neighbour Damia always makes #1 laugh...


With my boxer friends:


And of course Mad Fernant!


It as also been fun to stay in touch with my birth family, with frequent trips up to Normandy and visits from some of the girls to Poupounette Central!



Last year, I even got to go to one of Vidock's shows with #1, Ms. A and my aunt Cora!


As I mentioned earlier, #1 and I are with my birth family at the moment. Here is a photo taken this morning with my sisters Sophie and Lydia and my niece Emily:



#1 here. If you could draw up a list of everything that makes up the perfect dog, Tommy would get a tick next to each and every item. I really didn't understand what I was embarking on when I decided to own my very first dog. I was lucky. Tommy is sweet, gentle, and always full of joy. He is kind to all creatures, and loves his kitties with all his heart. He may not be perfectly trained but he generally does what I need him to do without my even asking. I could not wish for a better companion. Thank you, Tommy!

  10. Happy Gotcha Day, darling Tommy. Very few things in life are perfect but you and your adopted family are perfect for each other.
    #1 was right, no one could have resisted you. But the fates were on your side and found you the perfect #1 and a life full of love and adventure. We look at photos and try to learn more about your breed. You are easily the handsomest ESS we've seen. But then, you come from a beautiful family. Thanks for the family photo. Happy day to you love! P.S. Squeeeee, Emily!

  24. Happy Birthday,Tommy - we hope you and #1 are having a fantastic time with your family. We loved seeing all your pictures. We are curious about the meaning of all those numbers in that adorable puppy pic - look at those gorgeous eyes!!!

    #1, everyone should be so lucky as to have a Tommy in their lives. But we do think that YOU have a lot to do with why he is so perfect and special.
