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 :-) )

Sorry sister x

Sophie here - well i'm back to my old self, still got a bit of a cough but not like I had. I'm back to bounding around. My big sis, sadly now has kennel cough and has got it a bit worse than me. Dad took her to the vet as she wasn't eating and was lethargic! Anyway she's had some medicine and has started to eat her dinner again today 'yay' and 'boo' as i used to get a bit extra when she didn't eat it. Anyway, Ruby is now wearing the coat but she's not been out for a few days. Mum ordered another coat but it's not arrived yet so we'll be sharing.

Once we're both back to full strength we'll post some more.

Coughing and Spluttering

Sophie woke me up at around 4:30am last Sunday to cough in my ear, I thought she was choking! Mum & Dad came down and I heard mum say "I think she's got kennel cough". I thought she'd been somewhere exotic without me! Anyway she's been quite poorly this week and hasn't been getting much exercise, but mum took me out on my own (just like the old days).

She came out for a walk with me today but not for long, I kindly let her wear my coat seeing as she has a sore throat. Mum says i'll probably get it too, so far so good!

It's rubbish, the paths are still like an ice rink and I nearly came a cropper a couple of times. (Mum took this photo using her phone, that's why it's out of focus). Sophie got off lead today for 5 mins but she must be poorly as she never really went anywhere, I tried to fight her (ahem play) but she wasn't having it. I'll be glad when she's back to normal but it could be weeks!!!!! Think i'd rather be indoors near the fire.

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 :-)
