Dear friends in Malaga,
my new family - the Achterfelds in Germany - asked me to write you a short mail about my first 24 hours in my new home - so here I am! First of all I must admit that I was really nervous when you put me into that horrible box at Malaga Airport because I had no idea what was going to happen.....! Then I was brought into that big, big "bird" - people call it airplane, I think.
That was really strange and I was so afraid that I lost some - ooops - yuk - you know - things happen....
At quarter to 5 my new friend Harry and I arrived at Münster Airport where Ulrike, Harry´s wife, was waiting for us. First I had the chance to run and jump on a large meadow - everything was so green there and it was really cold, only about 20 degrees. Ulrike gave me some water and had some lovely dog biscuits for me - you know - I was kind of starving because I hadn´t eaten anything since the day before.
Harry and Ulrike gently made me go into a car - and it was quite good, because I was allowed to sit on the back seat - great! I was looking out of the window all the time.
Then we came to my new home! Oh, I was so excited and nervous! Everything was so strange to me. I kind of ran from room to room in order to find a way out or something like that. I must admit - I wasn´t really happy then. Harry and Ulrike were talking to me all the time and they cuddled me, so I calmed down a bit. They showed me my new baskets and they showed me where I find my water and my food.
Afterwards they took me for a nice walk - but - once again I must admit that I was afraid all the time, because everything is new: there are bikes, skaters, joggers, other dogs, cars, and, and, and - sounds everywhere - sounds I think I have never ever seen before in my life.....
Somewhen in the evening my new family sat down on the sofa and I thought good - they sat down so I can fall asleep" - but - never ever - there was such a black box with changing pictures and funny sounds - sometimes it sounded as if there were another 2 or 3 people in the room..... - that was so strange....
At about 11 we went into the bedroom and I was so tired that I just fell asleep and only woke up at about 8 in the morning. Harry took me for a walk
- and once again everything was so new and strange that I was only afraid of everything and everybody. I was so pleased when we returned home that I made pipi in the hall - oops - Ulrike didn´t like that!!!! But she showed where to make pipi and now it´s ok.
At about 1 they took me for a nice walk and I already found some new doggy - friends but - once again - I must admit then I´m still really frightened as sonn as we leave our house and garden - yeah - garden - MY GARDEN. You know, I told Ulrike and Harry that it´s not their garden any longer but mine! It´s about 1200 m2 and I´m allowed to run around everywhere - I love it !!! Best thing is that I can kind of hide in the bushes behind the fence and watch what´s going on on the street - I can watch other dogs, bikers and even horses passing by and - best of all - they don´t see me! So I feel really safe.
In the afternoon Ulrike, Harry and I played in the garden - smashing!!! They ran with me and always when they called "Pepe" and I went to them to see who they were calling for, I got some doggy - sweets!!!! Imagine that! So - don´tell them - I decided to make them believe my name is "Pepe". And always when they call "Pepe", I run as quick as I can to get one of these tasty doggy - sweets.
As I love these sweets, I thought - see what happens if you not only come when they call but - even better - sit down right in front of them. Hey - what do you think - hey? Right! They are so pleased that they won´t stop cuddling, kissing and hugging me - so - in fact, I must admit that I´m intelligent enough to just come when they call "Pepe" and sit down in front of them - nothing easier than that, you know.
OK - as you can see, I sent you some photos they already took - sometimes I think I must be kind of a model...... - hope you like the photos! Please tell all my friends that I´m really fine and I´m going to send you some more photos soon - promised.
Lots of love, yours Pepe (Choky)
