Bebek - Baby |
We asked readers of our blog and facebook page to offer suggestions. There were some excellent suggestions and after much deliberation we shortlisted two. We just could not decide between those two and in the end we each wrote on a piece of paper which we thought. When we showed them to each other we had each chosen a different one. But in the end we agreed on Bebek (baby) as her new name.

Not really lap dog size but 'our baby' loves a cuddle |
At first she was a bit too interested in the cats! But she soon came round and now she is as good as gold with them. This afternoon she was laying asleep on the terrace next to one of them quite happily. She also fell in the pool three times in the first few days, so she has had to have a crash course in swimming and more importantly how to get back out, as we only have ladder steps.

Bebek loves her swimming lessons! |
Our eight month old puppy Little-E is totally in awe of her and they play together for hours. They have had a couple of spats when things get a bit rough, but it soon passes over and they are busy playing again.

The partners in crime when questioned had no idea how the sun lounger cushions fell off or indeed got torn! In fact one of them did their best to hide the damage !!!!! |

Little-E watches over her new best friend |
But the really spooky thing is that she is gradually developing lots of Tyson's little ways. She cocks her head to one side when you speak to her. She lays upside down with all her legs spread out. She sticks her head in the dish-washer to try and lick the dirty plates. She smells into the air like he did - for instance if there were goats about, or a strange dog outside he knew before the others because he could smell them. She loves to carry things about. Neither of our other dogs do these things and it seems like Tyson sent her to live with us. I realise that sounds bizarre, but it's how we feel.

Bebek cocks her head to one side just like Tyson used to do |
She is happy to keep two of them, but has been looking for someone to take another bitch puppy for some time. We were therefore delighted when last week we heard she too was going to a forever home in Dalyan. Unfortunately this did not work out and she was returned after a couple of days. This left the lady with mum and three large and boisterous puppies which were getting to be too much. So as the situation reached a crisis this week, we agreed to at least foster Bebek's sister so she is travelling down to Uzumlu on Saturday to join us here and we will see how it goes.
But fate moves in mysterious ways and we do have a spare name at the moment ..............
Then there were 4! Impossible to resist those big eyes.
ReplyDeleteYes! Then there were four and that's without counting the three cats. It seems such a drop in the ocean with all the animals here that need help. But I guess if we each do a little, together we can all make a difference.
