Yes, I spelt that long word all by myself!!!
On Sunday we met Anniek and Tim from the Netherlands. 
They have a cockapoo back home but they did not bring him along. Instead they asked if they could meet us because they have never met another cockapoo where they live!!! Mummy happily obliged.
So off we went to meet them at the ever so dog-friendly Henry Root. 
We also had Charlie just so they could see how different and similar we are.
And just as we arrived there, Freddy was also at Henry Root – he’s a regular.
We got to know Anniek and Tim. We could do no wrong by them! 🙂
Whatever we did …
They just thought we were the cutest! 
Mummy was appalled!!! LOL!
I got lots of hugs
So did Charlie. 
Anniek and Tim thinks he looks a lot like their Cockapoo, Tico.
They told us about Tico’s story …
He came to them from a rescue called Hond Zoek Huis (Dogs Looking for Homes). They did not know what type of breed he was. Then one day Annieka saw a cockapoo on the internet. Voila!!!
Tico was found on the streets in Spain. He was abandoned by his owners from England. When he was found, Tico had a tumour the size of a tennis ball under his chin. But that was five years ago.
Today, Tico is ten years old and he is as happy as can be in his forever home. 
And since there are no other cockapoos to play with, he has a rabbit for a friend. LOL!!! 
They are even the same colour. Oh Tico, we so look forward to meeting you.
P.S. We think Anniek is ready for cockapoo number 2!!! LOL! And they want to rescue one. 🙂
May’s comment: We met Anniek and Tim through Facebook at Cockapoo Nederland and they read our blog 🙂 So lovely to have met them.
Last year when we were almost stranded in Amsterdam on our way to Berlin, we met Xander who has a Labradoodle. He also had never met a Cockapoo. Guess Cockapoos are not as rampant in the Netherlands as they are over here. Can’t walk the streets in London and not run into one!
So now we’re planning a cockapoo meet in London for Tico and other Dutch Cockapoos who might want to come to our Hyde Park meet at the end of each month! It would be so much fun!!! All Dutch cockapoos will have to wear an orange ribbon. Then we can all go to a dog friendly cafe for lunch! Planning in the works – if anyone’s interested!
Eurovision, we will “Build Bridges” via Cockapoos and all doodles!
