Don’t forget to retweet far and wide please.
Oh, I’ve left off Wes Streeting. He has no chance in any case, the wet wimp, but have included Darren Jones, a potential strong contender.
Please add an alternative if you wish.

Friends! A New-Piece-Of-Furniture has appeared in the Kitchen. Mum says it’s her joint Birthday and Christmas Present from the January Sales. She says she loves it and is finding spaces for all our things on it. I want to claim one of the spaces for myself so I’m going to sit here for the foreseeable. I’ve told the others to stay back for now… until we are sure it’s safe. I’ll update you!
(p.s. we are having big visibility issues with our account - please hit share for us today so that our Friends can find us. Thank you xx)
Friends! The Christmas Tree is up! Mum has only put a few baubles on it this year, compared to what she usually does. We don’t want breakages! Baby Dog and I checked it out before the Kittens came in. Then they arrived… it seems their first instinct is to EAT the Tree… good job it’s an artificial one 🎄
We have two requests for you!
1. Please hit share
2. Please pop a photo of your Tree below. We love seeing your Christmas Trees

We're still fighting the algorithm so please like, retweet & encourage your friends to follow us. Our engagements shot up with the tweet below but almost immediately began to fall off again. This is blatant censorship & the only way to fight back is to expose it.
Retweet it 😇
Apparently, if we get 5 million views of our @twitter posts in 3 months, we get a share of @elonmusk creator revenue!
So can we go 'viral' and help our 100 dogs at our rescue in Wales 🇬🇧 ?
Please SHARE SHARE SHARE 🙏 😊

Friends! PART 3 (please read Parts 1 & 2 first if you haven’t already).
Mum had a sleepless night worrying about Percy’s missing Brother and Sister. By now we had discovered all three kittens were only 5 weeks old.
But then a miracle happened. Early the next morning, at 7am, our lovely neighbour tapped on our door. Percy’s Brother had appeared in her garden. He was ginger and beautiful. Ten minutes later our neighbour knocked again. This time she had found Percy’s sister. She looked very like Percy. We named them Ron and Cleo.
So then we had 3 tiny kittens to look after. We can’t and won’t discuss the original owner’s circumstances here because that wouldn’t be fair, but the kittens now need to be looked after. After taking advice, Mum & Dad decided they will take care of them until they are at least 12 weeks old. That is the right thing to do. They need love and kindness. It’s a big undertaking when there’s already myself, Baby Dog (and usually Ralphy) in the house. Whether they will stay with us, or go to other loving homes at 12 weeks, we don’t know. Mum says she doesn’t want to think about that yet. She is focussing on caring for the kittens now.
We’ll continue to share their story with you. You’ll especially want to know how they are getting on with myself and Baby Dog. We’ll keep you up to date. It’s going to be an Adventure!
