Yes,
I had to wait 6 months for a passport, all of the forms were duly completed and dispatched, and then I got a letter to say that I had to attend for a medical. So I attended the clinic and I had a light shone down my ears and throat, and had to give a blood sample...And the next thing I had to endure was so embarrassing I wasn't really going to tell you, but ok I'll tell you.....I had a thermometer stuck up my bum, how awful, I didn't know what to do with myself.....Anyway it had to be done , but then they told me that I would have to go to this hotel type place and wait for 6 months, well it was worth it and I got full board while I was there and even put some weight on, and I got chance to go on some great walks....
Oh dear I have forgotten to introduce myself...My name is Rasta, and I am a Spanish Street Dog, rescued by my new Mum and Dad...Mr and Mrs Benidorm...Perhaps, if I may, tell you my story....
Well it seems like it was in another life, but in reality it wasn't that long ago......I was sat outside a bar , feeling very dejected, I hadn't had much to eat for nearly a week, and I'd just managed to grab some scraps in the bar, before I was 'booted out'....I was feeling so low that I didn't feel like living any longer, and was contemplating running out in front of the next truck, that came by....
Then I looked up and saw this Lady standing over me , offering me some food, I couldn't understand what she was saying it was in a foreign language, anyway I thought..what have I got to lose, and I tucked into the food...I felt so much better and this kind lady stroked my head, and I could tell that she was being nice to me.....And then I realised that there was a man with her , and suddenly he bent down and picked me up and we walked towards their car, I didn't struggle, after all I really didn't have anything better to do...did I ?
We set off in the car and I was on the back seat , on a lovely clean , thick blanket, oh it was heaven...and I was so tired I quickly fell asleep, I don't know how long I slept, but all of a sudden the kind man was lifting me up, and we were going into their house....
The last time I had been in a house was with my first Mum and Dad, but they threw me out on the streets for messing on the rug, it was an accident, but they were very angry....Anyway I don't want to remember them any more...
The first night I slept in their kitchen in a lovely warm basket, no flies or drunks bothering me, it was bliss...In the morning I was dying for a pee, but I wasn't going to make the same mistake again, and I stood up and tried to cross my legs, it didn't work and I ended up in a heap on the floor, but just then my new Dad came in and took me for a walk......I'd never been for a walk like this before , and I trotted contentedly along with my Dad, and had a little pee on each lamp post and tree that we passed, it was great.!
So sorry I'm rambling a bit, it is just so good to tell my story....Later that day my Mum bathed me and trimmed all of my tatty fur off, I felt fantastic...
So to cut a long story short I'm now in England staying with my Brother while my Mum and Dad are doing a lot of travelling, and I've made friends with lots of other dogs and even some cats.....I always chased the Gatos before, but now I just make friends with them....My Mum calls the Gatos ..p---y cats and my Dad calls them moggies, he said that a gato is a big cream cake, not a cat, oh it's all very confusing, but at least I can speak some English now....
I'm looking forward to going back to Spain , in my Mum and Dads car, and I'd love to go and meet some of my old mates on the streets and see how they are doing.....I was just wondering if any of you could help some of my mates, they would love to have a new home like me, and even if you can't do that, please take them some food, I know that they would be so grateful....And don't forget the Gatos...sorry I mean moggies , they need homes and food also....
It is such a lonely life out there on the streets, I do hope that you can help them.....Some of my mates have got temporary homes in Animal Sanctuary's, lovely people looking after them, but a permanent home would be so much better, anyway I know that you will do what you can....
So it's time for my din din's, so I'll have to love you and leave you, I'll try and catch up with you all again, sometime...did I tell you that I love my new Mum and Dad so much........
Lots of LLLLLL ( licks ), Be kind...Rasta the Ex Street Dog....
I Waited 6 Months for a Passport...R.I.P.Rasta.

im so relieved,i thought,oh no...what sort of passport has this guy been applying for!Your story is very sad...I had a thermometer stuck up my bum, how awful, I didn't know what to do with myself.....Anyway it had to be done , but then they told me that I would have to go to this hotel type place and wait for 6 months
,and very lovely. 
Benidorm, that's a lovely story. Can I steal it please and see if it can be printed in PAWS next quarterly magazine? They're trying to keep 6 dogs prepared at any one time now to be available for re-homing in the UK so this would be a great story to help promote that. Promise I'll send you a copy if they print it
