I’m looking forward to a great time with you on my island!<\/h3>\n

Oh yes, and I’m looking forward to kind words and the odd cuddle.<\/p>\n

SHELTER \u2013 a dog and his story<\/h2>\n

I’d been living on the streets of Fuerte for quite a while when one day I met Steff. Armed with a Vienna sausage, he won my heart in no time, and from then on I decided to guard Steff’s backpack every day while he braved the water. After many months on the beach<\/a>, we headed off into the German winter. At first I was shocked to find I was dressed all wrong, but then I really liked it. Postmen, cosy wood stoves and visiting friends \u2013 it was all lovely.<\/p>\n

But now it’s time to head home again. As the “FreshDog” I keep an eye on the camp and sometimes go to the beach with our guests.<\/p>\n
