Cookie and the tortoise

Posted by Brendan Cooper

Cookie continues to have a whale of a time with volunteer puppy socialiser Annette! Or maybe a tortoise of a time?

Let's begin the story: below you can see Cookie with a friend! Annette explains: "This is Dolly, one of my two American Cocker Spaniels. She's aged 14 and is completely deaf. Cookie leaves Dolly alone as she is too superior to play with Cookie."

So, it looks like Cookie is content just to watch Dolly have a little drink...

... but does enjoy a bit of a splash anyway!

So, after the water, the tortoise. Again, Annette tells us: "This tortoise is one of two we have. It's only three years old and usually lives in a vivarium as it's too young to go out. Cookie hadn’t met a tortoise before. The one in the photo is Rocket and the other one is Olive."

We love the name Rocket!

And we love this photo of Cookie looking very cute indeed...

That's all for now. Thank you for sponsoring her!

Hi, I'm Brendan. I write all your sponsor pup updates, printed and online. It's a hard life, writing about cute puppies who, with your support, will grow up to help deaf people leave loneliness behind. I am partially deaf myself, so I have some insights into the challenges deafness can bring. However, I don't have a dog of my own: I have two Maine Coon cats who are quite dog-like and take up most of my time!
