Whuppetry

[bunn]

The fosterwhuppets have a home offer and with a bit of luck will be going to their new home on Sunday. I hope the new owners are ready for a pair of naughty little dogs - this morning Murphy disappeared inside a bush in which he seemed to believe there might be rabbits, and refused to come out. We had to employ the Ultimate Sanction and pretend to leave. This worked: once he could no longer poke his head out and see us, he soon came haring after us. Hurray!

Murphy whuppet comes when called (this is not exactly reliable behaviour from Murphy Whuppet, alas)

ETA : Hm, scratch Sunday, transport is proving a problem. We may be whuppeted up for a few weeks yet.

D'awww @ Mollydog cuddling. Blaze wants to come to your house: she's constantly trying to pursuade Cole and Sky they want to cuddle her and sleep in a pile, but they're both, NO. NO. PERSONAL SPACE.

Molls and Az are generally Personal Space dogs too, but the fire is an amazing unifying force...

Though even then, I have been really surprised by how accepting my hounds have been of the whippets. They all got to the 'now we shall dance and snog each other's necks' phase in less than a week, which I think is a record!

If one of the girls gets the fire spot in our house, Cole just can't go there. He then has to spend the evening elaborately demonstrating that he is cold, sad and long-suffering in an inferior spot.

They are a little bit too identical, your whuppets, in both name and appearance. Do you get confused, or address them as a gestalt entity called Malfie?

The names are terrible! Definite tendency to just randomly call whatever name comes to mind first.

But we do already have two pairs of near-identical cats, so I think we have got used to peering closely. Alfie is longer and thinner and paler, Murphy is darker and stockier.
