Ladies and Longleat

Well we survived our long car journey to our holiday down near Dorset. We stayed at Longleat for a week and here we are in front of the beautiful house.We were allowed to walk round the grounds in the evening which was lovely. Mum, Dad and our bother went to see the other animals in the safari park but we didn't go. Mum says they were all beautiful and here's a snap.

Mum and our brother even visited Monkeyworld as mum is a big fan of the TV prog and the great work they do. Our brother has adopted an orangutan called 'Dinda' - she's ginger as well ha ha.



We then travelled up to Silverdale in Cumbria and had a relaxing week where we got lots of nice walks and trips at the beach. The weather was pretty rubbish but we still enjoyed ourselves. Happy to be home though, I still don't like long car travels and my dad is sick of picking ticks out of me, and mum is sick of me rolling in gunk!

Scorchio!

Mum & Dad took us out yesterday when it was cooler. We had a walk to Limekilns via Pattiesmuir and there was a great view from the top of the hill down to Rosyth Dockyard.on the way home we had a game of hide 'n' seek

then today mum surprised us with a bath cos apparently we stink!!! I luv the bath but Ruby isn't so keen.

Snoozing ...

This is something my 2 are extremely good at but I find myself laughing to myself (quite a lot actually) at the strange positions they get into.

This is Ruby - a perfectly normal sleeping position I think.

... and this is Sophie lol I think she thinks she's a 'dolphin'.

Grass mmm

I really don't know what mums problem is - we like eating grass, it's tasty and i'm going to eat it whenever I like! I know she's not keen when we spit it back up on to the carpet but hey... we're vizslas. Here's Ruby watching mum clean it up from a safe distance at the top of the stair ha ha.

Ruby wins the Jenga finals

It was a tense moment last night when I played in the final of the Jenga championships. It was touch and go for a while but I think I had the edge. I waited patiently and stared him out causing my opponent (my hooman bruv) to tip it. VIZSLA WINS!!!!!

Mum was off work today so we walked a different route this morning.

I think mum didn't want to go on our normal walk as Sophie is a birdcatcher. Yesterday Sophie came out a bush holding a bird but mum told her to 'leave' and 'here' and she did exactly that. I think mum was amazed and proud at the same time! I have to add that the bird flapped back into the hedge.

This morning's walk was quite uneventful in comparison. We just ran about like dafties as usual.

Killin

We're just back from a weekend at Killin. Lovely little caravan site with a great walk nearby taking in fields and skirting round the side of Loch Tay. We never met another sole on our walk so the dogs had a great time. Sophie was in and out of the water, mainly paddling but then she spotted some ducks and took off running through the shallow water to disappear up to her neck when she found the deep bit! Ruby didn't want to swim this weekend - not sure why.

This is Sophie (soaking) and Ruby (very dry)
