radio and franz and otto are in love, at times also with us.
franz, as mentioned earlier in a post, has taken to lick people like crazy, but since recently radio and otto get the treatment too.
lucky radio got to spend some dog time with hamish in dungeness.
.
he is a mewmew and his given name is mewmew hamish (like radio's is szinarany apollo and otto's is jo). 
although his temperament is supposed to be (according to the breed description) independent, easily trainable, not a lapcat...of course none of this is true. he is a licking purr machine. 
he has been with us for three days and thus far he licked my whole hair (needed a wash) and lasse's face (several times), our hands, feet, radio's paws, whatever living being with skin and fur comes near him gets a wash. furthermore, one only needs to look at him and he purrs. needles to say, we adore him.
....(and a new job as referee)
...except that radio simply fell asleep, kitten still attached.
always seems to manage somehow). but then lasse got the payback: being woken up by vizslittens kisses...actually the reason why radio was allowed in the bed because he was really quite ill these last days. he is recovering now but he gave us a huge scare, throwing up all over the place,
not eating...just the same when he had a major relapse last time....but miracuously (with some help of antibiotics) he was fine almost overnight. our lovely friend eiko made him a plaque and just now brought it as a get better gift to mr. radio...thanks eiko!
This is Morris, Artanella's 7 months old Hungarian Vizsla pup, and Morris is from Wales.
here with Daisy guarding Lasse's stall (but purtly keen on catching the lens...)
again, see the almost incidental glance at the camera, head ever so slightly tilted...
meet Tony, the too cute for true old english (not a sheep) dog we met in Vikky Park (Hamish is of course following Radio's advice and got rather attracted to Tony himself)
this is basil. basil of course is a herb, just as a radio is something that noise comes out of...this basil and this radio are neither herb nor transmitter/receiver...
in any case, basil cheered radio up immensly today because today we got a bit of a fright when radio's test results from the vet came back. 
his pancreas is not perfect and although this could be related to the rest of his disease, if it is a seperate condition it is not very good (when compared to similar cases). so we not only had a big dinner for him but are hypnotising him so that he'll get better. michael is the master at this art as you can see, and we all are astonished at the effects. radio's ears all pricked up.
i feared that i had to bite the mudd and jump down to rescue Hamish pup. but 
Radio simply kept on repeating the jump for about 5 minutes, nudging Hamish until he copied him and did the sprint-jump. Hamish was so happy after that he wanted to jump right back in to repeat....
I was told there is an older gentleman who feeds the ravens in Vikky Park. Perhaps we were too early, or perhaps he was a little late, or perhaps the carcass came not from the man but was left by a fox....whatever happened before we came we will never know. 
So we (that is radio's new palesse ruby and her truly lovely people) were walking in the park, and there was this lady screaming at her poodle. she threw her lead in its direction and it kept running around her, and we thought that that is a bit funny but mad looking, treating a small mini poodle in that way (or poodle treating its owner as such). As we walked over we saw that the poodle had a carcass in its mouth. poodle drops carcass, Ruby picks it up and claims it her own. 
now there are 2 more people running after a dog looking all a little mad, just as the lady with the poodle did. before long, but not too shortly after, carcass was secured and yuk! radio of course, being a boy, didn't get a mouthfull in. this leads to the next example of girls being the top of the food chain. Jo kitten, another fab lady: Jo kitten at breakfast time: how could i make the mistake and leave the room?
for a moment i thought i had not given the dogs their command to eat but when i came to check.....Jo had taken on the job of food tastrix...she has developed a habit of this lately, seemingly loves dog food more than her own, i know its not good for cats, so i will have watch it from now on.
