Vigo in London: Week 3 (+ wagg-o-meter)



Went to Hampstead Heath today....Ok Ok...dogs are supposedly colour blind, but are these really green birds up there?

















Vigo's first visit to the local food co-op and she is so sweet that Ivy is quite safe holding her (ahem...just a second earlier Vigo managed to kiss Ivy in!!! the mouth, and Ivy was standing up).
...again, we forgot to install a wagg-o-meter (a device counting a tail wag ratio). sadly, Vigo provided her own technology for counting wagging ratio by injuring her tip of the tail which she generously kept on whipping around and staining/marking the entire flat with the traces of her happy nature. I am all for keeping the tails as nature intended, but do understand the pros and cons of the docking of working breeds arguments......(Vigo's wagging tail could be easily made use of to generate substantial amounts of electricity)

We think Mz Vigo should get a job in interior design. Pointilism. VERY stylish.Ah yes you have adapted to the city well.

Enviously yours

Vigo: thanks for coming by to visit us from so far away. We wish you all the best in your field-training -- and look forward to your progress reports.

Incidentally, hopefully the various attempts to ban tail-docking in the UK will fall short since the recent report by vet John Houlton came out in the summer that clearly demonstrates that working dogs with full tails are significantly more susceptible to injury.

best wishes from us
