Vizslas and Comments....Comments and Vizslas

Well, a pleasant Sunday morning to you all! I have just awoken from what could be the least refreshing night of sleep I have endured in quite some time. Why might that be, you ask? Well, I'll tell you....in a word....Vizslas (veeshlas). These energetic hunting dogs (looks like a reddish labrador) cost $500-$1000 apiece and from the personal experience I have now gleaned it seems that these dogs would be a precious commodity were you trapped in a swamp and desperate for a duck or goose to quell your hunger. They are NOT however, good bedfellows. While staying at a friends house overnight to avoid an unpleasant...and long...late night drive I rolled over at about 1:00am to receive a rather wet kiss across my face from....you guessed it Vizsla #1. Vizsla #2 I discovered at my feet and proceded to avoid losing a limb only by the narrowest of margins. See, these dogs are perfectly friendly in the day time, but, it seems, are very possesive of their personal sleeping space at night. There is something greatly disconcerting about rolling over a lump in the covers while half asleep and being met with a rumbling growl for your trouble. Of course a slightly less-pleasant lick always follows to assure you that the aforementioned growl was only the friendliest of warnings. Oh, and it seems they required a pillow much more urgently than did I. Had I been any less tired I may very well have made a break for the couch but as it is I now know exactly where I am never - ever - going to attempt sleep in the future. God bless you vizsla's #1 & 2, I hope you awake rested and refreshed.....and no, they are not up yet, though they are still enjoying my two feather pillows! Ha-ha-ha, dogs are the greatest, don't you think?!

By the way, if you so desire you may now post comments on my blog....I think....if not then I did something wrong....if so, then comment away my friends...comment away.
