Lilac & Red meet again!!


Today I met up with my bro Mr Red again, now called Oscar, first we went for a walk on the Ridgeway which was great fun and we played loads, here we are posing for the camera
Left to Right, Ditto, Deazel, Dexter & Oscar


Sitting is rather boring compared to playing, time for a little snooze.  Oscar is rather bemused at this sit in a row lark, it is rather a waste of time but we just have to humour mum when she starts waving the camera around



There was much discussion about what were our differences, it appears I am a touch shorter, a touch wider, and have a wider head and am a bit darker and maybe Oscar is a little taller, but we didn't make this game easy for them and keep still for very long....  Honestly... humans!  Does it really matter... we had far more interesting stuff to catch up on other than compare whose mum had the widest head or longest nose!


Above Oscar is being a good boy this time so cue time for me to stand up, we preferred not to sit still together at the same time! Below pic, time for me to sit and Oscar to stand, got to keep these humans on their toes!


Here I am posing


Mum says I am very handsome :)
(But not within earshot of Dexter in case he gets jealous)


And pictured below is Oscar is posing...  We started off in life with Red and Lilac collars, now we are both wearing green, mine has a brown stripe on it though, so easy to spot who is who.



Humans got to eat some rather nice smelling food at the pub, we got a bowl of water, life is so unfair at times..

Then it was time for more pics.... I whispered in Oscar's ear that play was FAR more fun than boring sitting photos and Oscar decided I spoke far more sense than our mums did...


So the above quickly turned into this!



 

I'm going slightly cross eyed here trying to see what is stuck to my mouth, I didn't catch it honest!

 
But now and again us pups have to behave here we are sitting together!



Now time for some yoga after all  that play, here is my downward dog position


Then it was time to say goodbye and head home...

Oscar and I are now both 6 months old and have grown soooooo much since we were last together... Here we are at 5 weeks Lilac and Red, aka Deazel and Oscar.

Happy Birthday Ditto - 5 today

Today is my birthday and I'm now 5 years old, which apparently means its 5 years ago since I looked like this
This pic was taken by Sharon and Jim of Roughshoot Vizsla who along with Nugget, my dog Mum, looked after me until I joined my new Mum in Wiltshire. Although I've now grown up I still find humans very confusing at times, I appear to have had three mums (how can that be?!) and when Deazel arrived home (see previous posts) I was told his Grandad was the famous Yogi who won top dog at crufts in 2010, who is of course my own Dad, however Deazel is now referred to as my brother.

I have lots of contact and updates from my first parents (Sharon & Jim) who are actually now my guardians so its great that I have so many humans to care after me. I have given up trying to work out who is what relative as they seem to morph into different named ones later in life, one of the many oddities of humans, life is so much simpler as a dog...

Anyway, back to my birthday, I had a lovely walk this morning and Mum was planning on taking us all out again this evening and taking some birthday pics, however its raining.... heavily..... and although I'll still get my walk apparently camera's don't like the rain, so instead of some new birthday pics I am going to post some old favourites.

And a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all of my seven gorgeous sisters!

This is when I first arrived home and met Dexter who was quite happy to share his bed

Here we are cuddled up together a little later on in life...
 

A reunion with two of my sisters

And here are some pics of Dexter and I out playing in the fields


And in the snow...




Retrieving from the sea...

I love the look of horror on Dexter's face as he realises I am going to get to this one first!

Yep, I won :)

Mum says I am the prettiest little girl

And now we are three... and Mum says I am STILL the prettiest girl :))
