GIMMI (Female)

I lived with Bernie from Germany for two years in a beautiful house. I like Bernie and Bernie liked me. There was another dog in the house (Lala) and we had a great time together. However, one day Lala disappeared and, despite Bernie and I looking everywhere, we couldn't find her. From then on it was only Bernie and me and I missed my playmate. Then life got worse because Bernie had to leave the island as he could not get a job. The people from DRCS had looked after me for a long time so, because I like humans more than dogs, I was taken to the small shelter in Chaweng. I didn't really like it there so I kept jumping the wall - they may have a 2-metre wall but that was no problem for me. Living in the market was good but I returned to the small shelter every now and then just to say hello. On one of my many sojourns to the market, I had a car accident and Brigitte decided that I would be safer at the big shelter at Ban Taling Ngam (the street isn't so busy there when I jump the wall). It's good down at Ban Taling Ngam as I stay in the main compound and play with the other dogs (Shiva and Emma) all day every day.

Gimmi died after a deadly tick infection. We are all very sad. During her time at the shelter, Eva and her Mom Renate were looking after her.
