Darling Flappy - his very first Christmas in his forever home.

Happy Flappy

Yes. After six years, six long years, Flappy is home and enjoying his first Christmas. He was one of our beloved 'special needs' children. Poor Flappy is incontinent. It didn't seem possibe that we'd ever find him a golden basket. But miracles happen. They keep happening. Flappy has been adopted by some marvelous people. It's wonderful. So wonderful. We are so happy. Thank you so much to these amazing people.

Here is what his new, adoring mum has to say.

"My own little Flappy has been home exactly eight months today! How time flies and what a time it's been. Bear is still his great friend and role model.  For instance Flap was interested when we were setting up the Christmas tree. At first he looked on from a distance. But when Bear went to look at the tree later, of course Flap followed him. 

Flap feels at home. It's as if he's always been here. And now his first Christmas at home ..... so cosy! For Flap Christmas is probably a day like any other day here, but for us it is very special indeed! Who would have thought that this would be possible at all, a year ago? That here we are, a year later, with Flappy, who lived in the Refugio for six whole years, now in his golden basket ready for Christmas. It's so wonderful. 

Flappy now sleeps as much as Bear does, because of course Bear sleeps a lot! Like for the whole day!  If I sit down with Flappy now, he's no longer scared. He rolls around and give me kisses. He is so grateful. For Flappy been a very exciting year. The year of the golden basket! So well deserved and so willingly given by everyone!

For my own little Flappy things have really worked out well.

Happy holidays everyone! May all your wishes come true in December!

Lots of love from me, John, Bear and Flappy.
