Emka Dog travelled from North Macedonia ten months ago...
She crossed many borders to get to rural Suffolk but hasn't crossed a line since her arrival.

There was something going on in the cabbage field this morning... unlike Peter Rabbit, we didn't lose a shoe.

I can no longer deal with Twitter/X - it is full of extremists, 'citizen journalists' and bots blowing smoke up willing arses.

Emka Dog has the right idea... sod the mist or the rain, I'm going to make the most of my day.

I will be reading tonight - thanks @biggreenbooks.bsky.social

Emka Dog came to rural Suffolk from North Macedonia.
She likes to keep an eye on things.

It's National Dog Day.
Emka Dog is from North Macedonia but she can join in, eh?

Emka Dog came from North Macedonia. Her arrival was organised/coordinated by a UK charity.
Sure, ED has her issues (she was rescued from the street as a pup) but I knew this beforehand and we've worked on her manners since she arrived.

Emka Dog (a rescue from North Macedonia) is a year old. I think that watching the news is aging her!

We are getting there.
I have two feet, Emka has four

Not the best of pictures, but I'm happy to share my sofa with Emka Dog from North Macedonia even though she makes my trousers hairy!

Good morning! Merry Christmas!
Santa has come for Emka Dog and Oliver Cat but not for me - I must have been on the naughty list...

Emka is my 'found you' dog...

She is very sweet. We'll be fine.

I know that my posts are mainly about Emka Dog... but she is very lovely!

We muddle along.
She has a sweet nature but it's hard work...

Just over a week ago, Emka was in North Macedonia. Now she's in Suffolk... I'm wondering if she hates me...

Emka arrived here from North Macedonia a week ago.
I'm wondering when she'll start to relax...

I think that we'll have many Suffolk adventures - there is so much countryside to explore within a few minutes' walk...

It's day three...
She's just about caught up on her sleep and we've been playing for a while - she has a 'cheeky' side which amuses me.
She's only a year old, still a puppy really.
It's been a while since I've had a dog (Bonnie Barko died five years ago). I hadn't realised how much I've missed it.

Emka, my dog from North Macedonia, seems to be channelling her inner dormouse...

Early days - but looking good so far!

I have a dog.
Her name is Emka.
She comes from North Macedonia.

Emka has just arrived from North Macedonia. She is going to be a handful but worth it, I reckon.
She stole a duster from the sofa so I gave her the rope toy (thank God I bought one). She put it on her leg - it had been in her mouth moments before!

I will tweak your nipples and your words, mister x

Migrating? I can do migrating... don't ask me to make a summer though.

Oliver Cat likes his new scratching post (it came in the shape of an Ikea sofa with a cover) but I think he suspects something.
I'm hoping that Emka, a rescue dog from North Macedonia, likes her bed (in the shape of an Ikea sofa with a cover) when she arrives on the 30th.

Ah, that is very true.

My sister lives in Ambridge!

Well, pleased to find you here.
I've been on Bluesky since 'early doors'... and have been waiting!
Not noticed the 'happier' but 'polite' is refreshing.
