The Old Gray Girl

She ain't what she used to be.  She's sleepy and slow moving and her happy-happy dinner dance isn't as 'jumpified' as it used to be.  But she's as sweet and loving as the day is long and I love her so much.

Ah, yes, the happy-happy dinner dance. We know that dance very well. With all the rain in Michigan this last weekend we have two NUTS on our hands. We think a day at day care is in order so they can expend their energy properly

Awww, she is too sweet. Love this picture. You can get a feeling for why she is so special.

Hallo, I just discovered your blog! I see that you have two vizslers and you hug them and kiss them and play with them and I think I saw them also sleeping in a bed...
Well, I have a little dog, D'Ora, 4 and a half years old, which looks like a small vizsler but we do not know about her parents as she comes from Italy and was abandoned when we took her with us to Austria. I always thought I loved the dog too much because I hug her and she gets kisses and she warms my feet in bed etc...
So now I know I'm not the only one :)
I wanted to have a second dog for D'Ora, maybe one of her own puppies, but since we live in a flat in the middle of the city, I do not know how I could manage this. And you never know how many puppies she wouldl have... It's not easy...

Hi Marie! D'Ora (does that mean Gold?) sounds like a very fortunate dog to have you as her owner! We thought getting a second dog would be a great deal more work but having two has proved to be a wonderful blessing! The only bad thing I can think of with having the two dogs is the cost of their care--especially the vet bills and the cost of boarding them when we travel.

Hearing you talk about your desire for another dog makes me think she MUST be a Vizsla! There is a saying among Vizsla owners--We talk about the common 'disease' amongst Vizsla owner--MVD, or Multiple Vizsla Disorder. The symptoms are the need to have one more Vizsla than space allows! : D

Vizslas crave attention and affection and want to be right with you all the time. My Eve is curled up at my feet most of the time and every time I move, Ivy is right at my heels.

Vizslas aren't for everyone--they do require a great deal of attention and physical contact. It can be overwhelming for people who want a dog that sleeps on the rug most of the time.

I'm curious--what are D'Ora's greetings like when you've been gone from the house and return?

Now I'm off to see if I can find some pictures of D'Ora on your blog!
