Stitchworth of Arabia

Last Wednesday I received a message which started an avalanche of emails, texts and Facebook posts, I had just finished my French lesson, and was waiting for my driver, whom unfortunately I had given the wrong time too, mainly because my lessons started earlier and I forgot to adjust accordingly.... even timings are difficult when you don't do numbers, and I had been so proud of myself to be able to instruct said driver of my finish time in french, just a shame I was an hour out...


Anyway our boy Stitch needed rehousing ASAP, for reasons that are not mine to tell my poor friends had to ask for us to find someone to take him, now this is no easy feat especially when you are in one country, your friends and Stitch are in another country, and neither of those countries are home countries, so to Facebook I went and after a very stressful few hours back and forth between my wonderful friends we had a new home and family for Stitchworth. 

The King of the compound was going home to Scotland, Gods country! although I think when his little paws hit that tarmac he may wish he was back in the sandbox, this boy is not used to cold.  I was lucky enough to have three families wanting to take Stitch, and in the end it came down to first come first served, and the family that are taking him responded straight away with a unanimous 'we want him', I will always be grateful to all my friends and their offers of help with little Stitch, a very stressful situation indeed made easier by the animal lovers of Scotland,  that boy has a piece of our heart and we miss him terribly, but we just can't bring him here, and we don't have the luxury of turning down work. Like most people in this industry, that is just not an option in this climate, but that means for us we have to pass the reigns over to someone who will be settled enough to keep a dog forever in their home.

So please friends one more request, keep your fingers crossed for Stitch who flies on December 1st with another lady who is returning from the sandbox to Aberdeen, Stitch will fly as excess baggage and his new family will meet him in Aberdeen, he will be their Christmas present come early, and not from the North Pole but from Saudi Arabia, I bet this little lad never thought when he was dumped at the beach in Cyprus he would be this well travelled.......

We had offers from friends in Saudi too but for one reason or another these offers would not work out, so it was decided the best place for Stitch was home in Scotland where the dog lovers of the world live.
