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.

a BIG surprise!

Mum and dad have been muttering for ages about me getting a new brother or sister. Fantastic, I thought, picturing me and V2 romping in the garden, curling up on the sofa, wrestling over sticks, and all that good stuff. 

Turns out that wasn't quite what they meant. 

Instead of a Vizsla sibling, I've got a human sibling! Her name's Romilly, and she arrived some time last week while I was away on my holidays. Can't turn my back for a minute. Anyway, this is her:


At first I was a little bit upset. But I've given the matter some thought, and decided she has her good points:

 - she smells really interesting 
 - and she can do lots of 'special effect' smells
 - her feet taste a lot like dad's - and his are just the tastiest! 
 - she's pretty small right now, but if I'm not mistaken has the promise of a great 'stick' arm
 - mum gets 10 months off work to look after her. Which means 10 months with me, too!

Oh yeah, and she makes mum and dad really really happy. Which makes me happy too.

So I say welcome to my pack, little Romilly person. Please can we be friends?

Congratulations on your new baby sister! Tell your mom and dad that she is beautiful!!!! I keep hoping my mom and dad will bring home a baby brother or sister for me, but they told me that they were "all out" at the baby store. Where did you get yours?

Congratulations on your new alarm clock!

Oh Maggie you are so lucky you get to show her how to treat a doggie real good.

Wohoh, Fantastic news. Sisters and brothers are great as they drop all their food over the floor for you and always let you lick their hands clean. Yummy. She is really pretty, give her a lick from me.
