Yes, ok there are rather a lot of photos in this installment - but it's mostly for Steven's benefit cos he's in Australia, so the rest of you will just have to put up with our indulgence for now.
On the road....
Cooling down...
Posing...
Viz or Bunny girl?
On Tuesday we went back to ringcraft classes in North London. What a trek it is too. If I can convince Hamish that this can be fun we'll give the show ring another chance. Just missed the deadline for Windsor but hope to go to Richmond later in the year. On arriving we met another lovely Vizsla called Ruby, she's only six months old and very well behaved . Hamish had a lot to live up to because Andy recognised us from this very blog. They called him a celeb...!
With all the good weather Hamish has again found his fantastic enthusiasm for swimming (and diving in).
Mirror, mirror......?
Sitting pretty among the 'English ' bluebells (did you know our forests are being overtaken by the inferior 'Spanish' variety?
This one's especially for Steven. He left this old jumper behind for Hamish to remember his scent while he's away. Hamish has tried to rip it to shreds but stops in his tracks and sniffs it like fury then didn't try to rip it since.
Hamish has a celebrity friend called Treacle (she was once on 'Dog Borstal'). She's not naughty any more just mischeivious and Conrad (Hamish's dogwalker) calls them the delinquents. They truly love each other.

I smell a rat!
Now tell me if this is normal for a Vizsla. Look at this short video......He's swimming for a treat in the water, takes it and doesn't even register the ducks. It could be all those walks on St. James' Park since he was little but I didn't even have to say 'leave it'. I'm sure it's a bit too laid back for a gun dog? All answers on a postcard please (comments will do.)
