2010

It's been one of the coldest winters I can remember, but they have enjoyed running around in the snow over the last 2 weeks!

As you'll see, most of Scotland has been battered by heavy snow. This is their garden.

The next picture is on Christmas Day, Ruby was glad she was indoors.

This is my son with Sophie and one of Sophie investigating some Christmas paper!!

Ruby & Sophie also met 2 other Vizslas from Dunfermline when they were out for a walk. Amazing how many ginger beasties are around ....

Wait for us....

Today we went to the forest near where we live for a run in the snow. We had great fun and met another couple of dogs. Loads of things to sniff and Sophie tried chasing 'robins'.... unsuccessfully!

Wishing you all a ..........

love Ruby & Sophie

Going commando

Today, the day before, the day before that.... same weather miserable and rainy! So we've not been up to much. We've been for a few brisk walks in the rain, I hate it when my coat gets wet... and the rest of the day Sophie has been practicing her 'commando' moves along the carpet, she's very entertaining but you'd never catch me doing that, i'm far too much of a lady! I'm actually thinking of entering her for Britain's got talent. We've also been practicing our 'formation sleeping' which we are particularly good at :-)

This is me and Ruby waiting on mum getting ready for work. Once she's ready we go downstair for a nice treat and off she goes.
We've not been up to much. I've noticed our walk in the morning is a bit 'darker' and our walk in the evening is 'darker'. Not fair.... I have to stay on the extension lead instead of running about! Don't think Ruby's that bothered but I like my game of round up the crows on the playing field. I met a new friend today, a 5mth old wirehaired pointer, mum says he was cute!

After our walk this evening we came in and it was quite cold so mum put the fire on, and we dutifully parked ourselves in front of it. "Happiness is stealing all the heat"

leaves and ploughed fields!

Well the farmer has now ploughed all his fields (boo!). No more running through the stubble for me and Sophie, just back to the tracks. Have to say that we're not enjoying beng called from our cozy bed of a morning to walk in the dark! but are enjoying the radiator being warm again (yay!). Have to confess to getting a row from the farmer the other day for disturbing the pheasants in the bit he shoots. Doesn't he know were' Vizslas!!!! Mum and dad normally let us run down the middle of one of the fields and we couldn't help ourselves and ran into the long grass, one flew up right in front of me. I've promised the farmer i'll not go in that bit anymore.

Here's a pic of me with Sophie in the background. Couldn't quite decide which way we wanted to go.

and here's one of us pretending to be weimaraners.

Hey, I know you, do I know you......

Today we were about to have a run through the field when Sophie spotted one of her friends from 'dog training'. This was her just pausing as she recognised 'latte (lab)' :-)

and this is Ruby thinking "where's she going, i'm her playmate!"....
We had a good run round and disappeared over a hill. Tonight, our recall was excellent, we couldn't see mum but could hear her whistle so we rocketed back towards her, she looked pleased. Sophie proved she's learned a lot. Mum had to do a very loud "LEAVE IT" to her tonight as she tried to lift a hedgehog up, but she left it immediately and ran back to mum. Couldn't believe it! my lil sis is growing up.
