Sophie here, i've been lazing at the window where I get the sun. I like this window as I can see when mum arrives home in her car.

We went for a walk with our neighbour and their westie (Wallace) he's so cool but he can't keep up with us (wee legs you see). I think Ruby likes him, in fact everytime a male dog goes past us she flirts with them...... it's so embarrasing! I got a new collar, can you see it? I think I suit black.

Tonight (10:50pm) I was minding my own business when I was awoken by a bright light, why does mum always have a camera pointing at me. One was trying to burrow under ones quilt.

Easter weekend

Sophie and me have been away in our caravan. We went to a place near Ayr where we had a big field to run around and we went to Culzean Castle. Unfortunately we didn't get many snaps of us as it was very very busy being easter Sunday but here's one of us running and one after our trip, doing what we do best..... relaxing in the caravan.

The weather has been lovely this weekend and we even got out into the garden for most of the day. It was so warm Sophie even came back inside and here she is lying in the porch.

Hurrah it's getting lighter. We haven't been up to very much today except mum bathed us! I can't say it's my favourite activity but she said "that's what you get when you roll in yuk stuff". Sophie loves the bath, in fact she was trying to get in at the same time as me! So we're both nice and shiny and smell lovely.... just what we needed for our trip away in the caravan next week, I hope I don't find some more stuff to roll in.

Weather woes

Can't wait for spring! Most of Scotland has been battered again by heavy snow and rain. We've luckily only had a few snow showers which were quite heavy but melted very quickly but we have had constant rain for 3 days now. Our walks have been limited due to my 2 looking at me like i'm stupid when I pull them out to go for their walks. Not surprised though they get drenched.

This morning, no surprise one of our walks was waterlogged. It's been miserable here, and I took a picture of the sky, grey and heavy with the Forth Road Bridge in the background.
We walked as far as we could but our usual run round the field was not going to happen as it was flooded.

What's a vizsla to do?

... play & fight of course!

They amused themselves that way and getting very muddy :-) whilst I took cover to avoid them running into my knees.

I can do recall

Two vizslas with very different personalities. It was really frosty this morning when we were out. Coats required!

Ruby is content to have a run around, sniff about then generally walks at my heel and doesn't stray far unless she's stalking pheasants. Sophie, being younger is constantly on the go, darting from one thing to another and doesn't mind being away from my side. She's really maturing into a lovely dog. I see parts of her training really starting to pay off for us now. In one of the fields today she was quite far away from me, just about out of site and I whistled, she turned, looked and bolted back and sat right in front of me. It was her lucky day as she was rewarded with a nice treat (I don't always take treats with me so they don't assume they'll always get one).

Being firm with her training is paying off. When we first got Sophie she was 14mths and lived partially outside and wasn't house trained, when I think back to what she was like then to how she is now, she's come such a long way.

Lazy Sunday

We went out for a nice long walk today, plenty of mud to splash through and the odd pheasant to chase today! Sophie tried to jump through a barbed wire fence again ... will she ever learn.

Luckily she backed out and saved herself from getting another cut and bare patch of skin on the hind leg.

If there's mischief to be found....... she's your vizsla :-)

Coats are everything

I know we seem to have been obsessed talking about coats recently but at last my new one arrived, no more sharing!!! It's been really cold again, but our kennel cough has gone and we're back to normal. Mum took us out today and the ground was still quite hard. We both wore our coats (here I go again!!), we thought you'd like to see :-)


Someone had dumped an old hoover in the woods, Sophie was quite spooked by it until mum went up to it then she sniffed it, then was bored with it! (that was Sophie sniffed it, not mum :-) )
