Mo Li Hua 茉莉花

This is my third year here in Yichang. I love life here but I obviously  miss some things from Australia like Mum and Dad, Sunshine, clear sky, beach, fresh air etc. Also all of my life I have been lucky enough to grow up with dogs. I think being responsible for dogs can teach you many life lessons and give you a cool companion to share life with. Since losing Bronson and moving to China I have thought about the idea of getting a dog on and off, but with settling in to a new life, thought I had better wait.

I thought long and hard and decided that now is the time.

Enter...Mo Li Hua...
This beautiful little girl melted my heart. She is a “GuiBin”  which is a cross between a Poodle and a Bichon (Poochon). This breed is very popular here in Yichang,but you mostly see brown ones, not so many white.

We called her "Mo Li Hua" This of course is Chinese and means "Jasmine Flower". When you pronounce "Mo Li" it actually sounds almost identical to the English name "Molly". She is totally adorable, seems very clever and has a massive appetite.

The other really great thing is that the place we bought her from is a vet/shop/groomers, with a great reputation and all her needs (including boarding if we all  have to go away) is catered for there. The Vets husband speaks English and worked in Australia for a few years, and their daughter lives there now!
It was obviously all meant to be :-)
