Bonus question. Please introduce us to Cremosa.
I adopted a dog during Covid. Her name is Cremosa (Creamy in English) and she arrived in our lives at a very unplanned moment, but she was just meant to be! She is the sweetest dog, my little “shadle” as I fondly call her, and she makes for great company when my kids are away. She is really spoilt and acts as if she never had a struggle in life before…
