šš Today, I said goodbye to my beautiful boy, Olliepop. š¾ For twelve years, his heart beat with mine. His very existence was a promise of love, inspiring me through my toughest times. I canāt imagine my days without him.
This morning, he left us peacefully, surrounded by love. I am heartbroken, but right now, I need to care for my other babes who sense his loss. Thank you for all the precious moments, Olliepop. You will forever live on in my heart. š
Did you say I have been adopted?
Yes, Noodles Jelly. You did it.
Iām Noodles (or Jelly in Thai). Let me tell you my woof tale, or is it a tail? š¶š
I lived on the streets of Koh Samui, but one day, my world changed when I got hit by a car. The pain was barking crazy! š¢ I screamed and felt so scared, but just when I thought I was all alone, a kind Irish man @niall.harbison from a dog charity @wearehappydoggo swooped in and lifted me to safety!
With the caring hands of my rescuers, I faced scary surgeries and painful physio. Each day, I felt stronger, safer, and loved.
Now, Iām woofing happy to share that my life has changed foreverāIāve been adopted! I have my very own daddy, mummy, family, and home! š” No more cold concrete for meāIāll be sleeping in my cozy bed and enjoying delicious meals cooked just for me! š½ļøš„° And guess what? Iām joining Faith, my new sister, who also had a rough start until my mum adopted her from Happy Doggo as well last Christmas! ā¤ļø
My mummy, Patsy, is flying out in January to bring me home on an aeroplane! š«āØ
I might look cute, but Iāve learned some wise lessons along the way. Hereās my bark of hope: if you ever feel lost or scared, donāt give up! There are really good people out there with love and kindness who can create the most beautiful turns in our stories! šš¾
Follow and Share my story with anyone you know needs some happy cuteness.

āļøIn Memory of Olliepopāļø
In memory of Olliepop, a spirit bright and bold,
A tree now stands, with stories yet untold.
Just last week, we gathered on the rooftopās open sky,
Celebrating joy where Olliepop would run and fly.
A presence so grand, truly one of a kind,
No other babe could shine with such a vibrant mind.
Together we fought battles, faced our fears,
Chasing dreams with laughter, through the laughter and tears.
This tree, a beacon reaching for the blue,
Speaks of hope and love, for me and all of you.
Through every challenge faced, we found strength profound,
With a positive spirit, forever on this ground.
For all our furry friends, a symbol strong and true,
Its branches sway gently, with Olliepop in view.
His playful spirit dances in the rustling leaves,
A reminder of love that never truly leaves.
WOOF WOOF! Athens, here I come! š¬š·š¾ I am paws-itively bursting with excitement because Iām heading to Greece this Wednesday! Itās my turn to visit Mumās heart-home, Voula! My sister Faith got to go last year with Mummy, so sheās already had her dose of Greek āmadnessā (canāt wait for that!) Now itās MY turn to sniff out the fun! š¶
Faith spilled all the best secretsāespecially about Krabo beach, where she wagged her tail with Biscuit and Ted to the music in the golden sunshine. I canāt wait for beach fun, splashing in the water, and extra-special Mummy cuddles!
Faith has warned me that Mummy will be on the hunt for cool stuff, āshopping her vibeā in all those eclectic little local shops. While Faith would have much preferred a nice long nap on the couch, I am the ultimate fashionista! Mummy says it makes her so proud that even though I canāt see, I figure my life out so pawsionatelyāand always with such style! š¾āØ
After that, itās time to zoom down the slides at the playground with Ted! But my real goal? Getting my paws (and mouth!) on some delicious souvlaki and chips at the favorite local taverna! And I have heard all about the amazing sunsets at Kavouri beach restaurant, where Mummy canāt wait for her sundowner pina colada. Sounds like mummy paw-radise! ā¤ļø

āWoofupā it was my first human family holiday and I totally owned it. Took a dip in the Atlantic like a pro, devoured alfresco beach lunches (because duh, classy pup), sipped sundowners with mummyās fancy cocktails, found Pedro at Noa who totally stole my heart, enjoyed sausage breakfasts every morning, totally stole daddyās heart (heās mine now), and got spoiled rotten by my sis. @katietsouros Basically, Iām the princess of this vacay. Bow down. š¾ š¶š

Adopted 30 December 2025.
Living proof that anything is possible! ⨠Ten years ago, I couldnāt have imagined being right here, radiating happiness with my incredible rescue babes, Faith and Noodles. š¾š
They are so much more than pets ā theyāre a reflection of my journey, my strength, and my belief in love. Theyāve opened up my world and brought so much joy into my everyday life. (And a reminder: if Faith hadnāt bravely barked so loudly, she would never have been rescued! š„ŗ)
I firmly believe in the power of positive thinking, asking for help, and going for the impossible no matter how hard it is. I am the happiest Iāve ever been, and so incredibly grateful for this stage of life. Who said aging sucks? Not me! š„āØ

Thank you so much, Alex, @alexberkeleyartist , for capturing the sparkle of Olliepop in this vibrant painting. Youāve perfectly brought to life his soulful eyes, little nose, and flamboyant ears, his expressive lookāas if heās breathing right here. His boundless joy chasing tennis balls, splashing through the water pools at Sandymount Beach, his sweet tooth for cupcakes and Avova coffee cake, and especially his favorite spot, Lolly and Cooks in Herbert Parkāall shine through. I asked for pink, and you gave me pinkājust like Olliepopās spirit, a beautiful mix of playful contradictions full of boldness and joy. I canāt tell you how much I love this painting; Ollie is back where he belongs, in the living room with his family. ā¤ļøā¤ļø

This Easter holds something extra special ā it is Faith and Phoenixās second Easter, and for our little Noodles, her very first. š„⨠Last year, Faith and Phoenix were still finding their feet in their new lives, still learning what it meant to be safe and loved. This year? They know. They are settled, they are cherished, and they are absolutely thriving. And Noodles ā well, she arrived into this family and immediately made it clear she had always belonged here.
š¾š£ Easter is the season of redemption. And these three know a thing or two about that.
Rescued in Koh Samui, Faith, Phoenix and Noodles each walked through their own darkness before finding the brightness of life. They came with stories, with battles no animal should ever have to face however with no scars.
Easter reminds us that suffering is never the end of the story. That from the hardest places, the most extraordinary lives can bloom. šø
And these three are living proof.
š¤ Faith ā gentle, kind, utterly loving, quietly stubborn. It was her grace and focus that carried her through. She fought loudly, simply refused to give up.
š¤ Phoenix ā still, trusting, and steady. He leaned into love the moment it arrived and never looked back. His peace became his power.
š¤ Noodles ā our resident diva. Small in size, enormous in spirit. She will take on anyone, anywhere, in any outfit ā and she will absolutely win. š
Together, these three remind us every single day what resilience, love, and a little bit of sass can do.
Three rescues. Three redemption stories. Three Easter bunnies dressed for the occasion. š°š°š°
Woof Happy Easter from our family to yours. š¾āØ

Our Flumpy has travelled over the rainbow š and I Betsy am going to miss him so much. Mummy always described our love story as I was the persistent, high-energy flirt and Flumpy as the cool, aloof gentleman who let me do my thing. I chased him like mad even when Flumpy gave me the side shoulder shift. I was captivated by his big eyes- pure lust dust- and swagger, and was so excited when Aunty Melanie was around cause it meant I would be with Flumpy. He was my first love and he will be my forever love. Flumpy is now with my brother Olliepop somewhere over the rainbow and I bet they are chatting about what an annoying bitch I was. But I know secretly you both loved this bitch. ā¤ļøš¶ Let's dream on Flumpy. š
Flumpy, we all love you and will miss you so very much š¤š From Patsy, Boss Man, Faith, Mr B⦠and little Noodles, who only knew you for a short while ā but loved you all the same.
You left paw prints on all our hearts, forever. š¾āØ

Faithās journey to Dublin began in the most horrific circumstancesāif you havenāt seen her story yet, please check out the pinned post. Watching her adapt and settle with such a beautiful, gentle, and trusting spirit has been a lesson in resilience. Sheās shown me what it truly means to move on and live happily in the present, carrying no baggage, only love. I love her to bits.
Taking a page out of Faithās book today: embracing routine, loving without limits, and feeling the pure spring joy (or taking a well-deserved nap!).
Whatās one lesson your babe has taught you about resilience or joy? Share below š¶š
