Twink's Dog Has Been Found And Thank God, Because I Was Worried Sick

Twink's Dog Has Been Found And Thank God, Because I Was Worried Sick

While you were spending last Thursday evening counting all the new freckles on your arms from the summer, little did you know that one Irish entertainer's entire world was crashing down upon her.

That's right, Twink's dog went missing and you were absolutely not helping by going about your daily life as if this wasn't a senseless tragedy. This disappearance hit me harder than Biddy's untimely death in Glenroe (spoiler alert), and I expect you to have felt the same. Twink described herself as being 'beyond pain' which truly rattled me to my core, causing sleepless nights, loss of appetite, reluctance to shave my legs and an increased sense of distrust towards the Europeans.

Up until last night, Twink's Yorkshire Terrier had been last seen outside her house in Knocklyon, Dublin last Thursday afternoon. Prior to his disappearance, Ted was said to have been his usual self, full of the joys of life and very much looking forward to the highly-anticipated return of Love/Hate. There was no doubt in Twink's mind that something untoward had happened because Ted would never want to run for the hills and escape her warm and loving arms. NEVER.

Their other dogs, Bertie Ahern, JJ McNamara, Rita Kelly, Mary Agnew, Rosie Kinnitty and Peanut Sheridan (these are their genuine names) were said to be devastated, with little Bertie so distraught that he went and died two weeks prior to this disappearance even taking place.

With so many dogs, Twink is said to have years of experience in dealing with bitches, so this runaway pooch really came as a surprise to us all. The entire situation had left me filled with grief and anger. I can liken said grief and anger to only that of The Lion King, when Mufasa saves Simba from a stampede of wildebeests only to realise he's been set up by Scar and faces his own impending death.

Personally, I did all I could possibly do to help this poor family. I re-watched RTÉ's 'Amber' and contacted a clairvoyant to try and place myself in the mind of young Ted to trace his whereabouts. I also discouraged people from messaging Twink saying “He’s behind you”, because I found that incredibly insensitive. But last night, I received word that young Tedward had been returned and it was as if all the good in the world had returned in that instant.

Thankfully, at least some good has come from this traumatic and beyond painful ordeal: Linda Martin and Twink set aside their differences to help find a cure for the Ebola epidemic the missing dog. Twink described Linda as being very powerful in the dog world and Linda was quoted as saying she had accepted the olive branch because of the dog situation.

What's great is Linda truly did her utmost to help out. She made some phone calls to animal organisations and she emailed photographs of Ted to the airport authorities to ensure he didn't try to flee the country and start a new life for himself. Twink has said that he didn't take his passport, so the whole ordeal was definitely unplanned.

On an unrelated note, since this article was written, Adele King (also known as Twink) has issued another emotional appeal, this time for the return of her missing career. It was last seen in the late 1970s, leaves a magnificent voicemail and answers to the name 'Publicity'. There is a reward of two Calippos being offered and anyone with any information is being urged to come forward. In other news, that plane is still missing.
