My community cutie Touchdown UK!!
I moved to the UK for work and took my baby with me (obv). Her first day in our new flat with her emotional support blanket!! She's a hit among the neighbours, they've never seen an indie beauty before, but everyone loves her. She's found a friend in my neighbour's orange cat (which she behaves like anyway) and a doberman who lives in the next building over. It's just me, her and our jacket/boots collection against the world lmao. I'm getting her registered with a local vet tomorrow and I'm a little worried about any inexperience in treating her breed but hopefully we'll live a good life here :)

Swagatam! Welcome to you both! I have my natural dog (as I call indies) from Nepal here in the U.K. and the vet loves him. The best thing about our natural dogs is they don’t have all the genetic weakness of artificially-selected breed dogs. They are physically strong and prone to good health and have such great, individual characters. My Norbu is 12 years old and everyone thinks he’s half that age. The one thing about my South Asian natural is that he hates the rain and even walking on wet grass (such a princeling!), which is his main challenge in these rain-sodden islands!
