the musings of a tail wagging, ear chewing, squirrel stalking, cheese eating, back wriggling, stick munching mutt

A South London Vizsla... in Washington DC

Hello. I really am four, although no-one ever believes me because I didn't do as much growing up as I could have done. My real name is Velveteen Magyar du Causse-Diege (I was born in France) but I prefer Maggie for short. When I'm not playing in the park or looking out the window, I like to sit on my cushion and think great thoughts. I'll try and share some of them on here.

Neighbours

So, as if moving from London to Washington wasn't enough, we've now moved house again. Mum says we're staying put this time, though. Fingers crossed, because I like this place a lot. There's a creek right across the street where I can paddle. And a forest at the end of the block with a pool where I get to go swimming most days. I'm also meeting lots of new neighbours. In our back garden, we have:

 Deer, like Bambi's mum
Baby deer, like Bambi
Racoons, who look like cartoon bank robbers
Foxes, just like in London, only cleaner
Fireflies, which are confusing cos they disappear just as I get close
Chipmunks (but sadly not the singing kind)
Black squirrels
Grey squirrels (a bit dull after the others, but still good to chase)

Hopefully I'll get some photos of them soon. Mum says they're a bit elusive, but she'll keep trying.

Your back garden must be HUGE! I only have boring old cats in mine. Imagine, deer and squirrels on tap all the time!

So good to have an update from you Maggie. We were hoping you were getting along well over here. Your new place sounds just grand

Yo maggie, wassup wuff wuff. I am telling mum now that i want to move to america. All i have in my back garden is 2 cats and some snails and some flies. And some things called bees which mum tells me i'm not allowed to chase. If i'm lucky, next door's cat walks along the garden wall. That's as exciting as it gets.
