Twiggys day.

Today was a trip to Gwythian Towen in Cornwall to meet up with Sharon, Chris and Sam Mitchell and deliver a small present.
It was another chance for Twiggy to meet the family who gave her the first love she had ever known, and for us to catch up with very special friends. Not much else to say this week, but here is the poem that Twiggy wrote for Sharon accompanied by her first clear round rosette..............

To Sharon, my first real mum.

I had a scary trip across the sea

Not knowing where it would end

My brother & sister were with me

For ourselves we’d had to fend

My tail was down, I was dirty

Thin and not very strong

My life had no meaning at all

It seemed the end wouldn’t be long.

But you took me into your home and your hearts

And shadows started to lift

I started to see new beginnings

You had an amazing gift

You made me see life was worth living

And loved me with all of your heart

The strength you gave me was everything

The courage to try a new start

The van ride to Devon was scary

New people and dogs to fear

Another step in my journey

And I worried you all shed a tear?

But now I can see why you sent me

To live with these people down here

You knew I’d be safe and happy

No longer live life in fear.

I have fun playing games and running

For miles across fields so green

With so many dog friends around me

A world I had never seen

I love life and new things don’t deter me

I am no longer scared of the world

I try everything life throws at me

Because I know I’m a special girl.

I know I am safe now, no worries

Cared for and loved all the time

Mum puts up with my strange little ways

As she knows I will be just fine.

So I wanted to say a big thank you

And as hard as it was to part

You gave me love and affection,

And the strength to make a new start.

So this is my first ever rosette!

I’m going to get loads you will see

But all my life I will never forget you

As I know you will not forget me.

Twiggy xx
