Viz Whizz - Lindley Woods Reservoir


Last weekend we went out in the adventure travel zoomer to a Viz Whizz at a splishy splashy place called Lindley Woods Reservoir. There were lots of vizslas to zoom with and I made a new friend called Gently Otto. Gently Otto is very small.


GENTLY OTTO



I found Gently Otto with his humans in the adventure travel zoomer car park. He wanted to bite and romp.







THI IS GENTLY OTTO HAVING SQUEEZY CHEESE




I found a present for Gently Otto to bite but then he was busy having squeezy cheese.







All the humans and the vizslas went down a green zooming path. There wasn't much room for zooming. 

AUNTY ANJI, DORIC & ZUKS AND A HAIRY VIZSLA




Aunty Anji was there with my girlfriend Doric and Doric's sister Zuks. Zuks isn't a vizsla, Aunty Anji said she's a Weimaraner.
 
ZUKS JUMPING A WALL
 








Doric and Zuks like sticks and jumping. Aunty Anji has tasty treats. The long hairy vizsla liked Aunty Anji's treats too.






The green zooming path led to a zooming wood where there were lots of sticks. I practised carrying sticks. Then we found the splishy splashy reservoir.
 
SPLISHY SPLASHING WITH STICKS
 
 
 
 
  
At the splishy splashy reservoir there was lots of splishy splashing and swimming for sticks. I didn't want to swim so I collected the sticks from the vizslas that swim.

A REST IN THE REEDS



It was a big job collecting sticks from the swimming vizlas, so I had a rest and hid in the reeds. I knew there was more zooming to do.







After the splishy splashing there was more zooming and I carried some more sticks.  Then we went back to the adventure travel zoomer. When we got home I wanted to go zooming again but my humans said it was time to sleep.

GO TO SLEEP TUSSOCK!

The Bob Graham Round - Uncle Yiannis, Wasdale

My humans took me on a special adventure to help their human friend called Yiannis with a thing called the Bob Graham Round record attempt at 70.  I met lots of humans. There wasn't any zooming but there were sticks and digging and cuddles.


My humans and their friends did lots of talking and pointing. My new human friend Aunty Linda understands that this isn't much fun for a vizsla, I think she likes zooming better than talking and pointing too.


HUMANS LOOKING AND POINTING

MORE LOOKING AND POINTING


ME AND AUNTY LINDA














There is a big splishy splashy place called lake but a big wall with leave it herdies and prickly gorse got in the way.

WASTWATER AND HERDIES
After lots of waiting, some more human friends that had been zooming came and had drinks and dinner. I had sausages.

LOTS OF WAITING
This is  Uncle Yiannis who was having the big adventure. He didn't have sausages for his dinner. He was tired of zooming and needed a big snooze.

DINNER FOR UNCLE YIANNIS
After his dinner Uncle Yiannis took Aunty Linda and the pointing and talking friends for more zooming. They didn't zoom very fast. I thought I could keep up but I wasn't allowed to go.

HUMANS ZOOMING
My humans told me Uncle Yiannis didn't finish his big adventure but that he might have another adventure soon. Next time I hope I can go too!

Falls of Clyde

My last adventure in Scotland was at a splishy splashy place called river. The splishy splashy river was no good for zooming or paddling because of something called cliffs. There was lots of lead on sniffing to start then zooming in the woods.  I like fir cones.

BOARD WALK BY THE RIVER






This wood path is not for zooming but we found a splishy splashy place at the end of it. It was the only splishy splashy place called safe, and there were leave it ducks.

THOSE ARE LEAVE IT DUCKS

THE THING CALLED CLIFF



















Most of the splishy splashy river was at the bottom of the thing called cliff. My humans said it was dangerous for puppies and I had to stay on my lead.
THE FALLS OF CLYDE

THIS IS A LEAVE IT HORSE

















There was a field in the zooming woods where we met leave it horses.
WILD FLOWERS CALLED COWSLIPS

HURRY UP HUMANS





THIS WAY HUMANS


NO SPLISHY SPLASHING HERE

There were leave it wild flowers in the field. These leave it flowers were outside the field. They were called cowslips. I didn't want to eat wild flowers, I ate leave it horse poo and a thing called a divot. My humans said that was yuck.












I zoomed on the green zooming path through the woods and my humans kept getting left behind. I had to go back for them.


















This is me with my human without the hair next to the dangerous cliff and the splishy splashy river where there was no splishy splashing.









SURPRISED



When we were on our way back to the adventure travel zoomer we met some friends from the Carmicheal Estate. They were very surprised to see us.




THESE ARE OTTERHOUNDS



THIS IS LANGLEY THE NEWFOUNDLAND


LANGLEY AND ME


Our friends were in Scotland because they were going to a thing called show. They are very big and hairy. The Otterhound's hair was so hairy it swallowed my tail.





I WAS VERY THIRSTY


MY NEW ADVENTURE TRAVEL BOWL







The newfoundlands were big and scary. This is Langley, he weighs ten stones. That's a lot of stones. His human said he's a champion.


















I couldn't drink the splishy splashy river because it was at the bottom of the thing called cliff, so I tested out my new adventure travel bowl. It holds lots and my humans said it won't get lost because it's bright orange. It squashes flat.


OUR HOLIDAY HOUSE
















My humans were very thirsty too but the house called a cup of tea house didn't allow Vizslas. So we went back to the adventure travel zoomer and they had tea at our holiday house.

Yellowcraig near North Berwick

I was extra happy when I saw that the adventure travel zoomer had taken us to another splishy splashy beach yesterday. This beach had rocks and seaweed, splishy splashy rockpools, zoomy crows and lots of digging.

When we arrived I had ice cream. It was yummy and I was ready for zooming after that.
YUMMY ICE CREAM


LOTS OF SNIFFING



I zoomed straight down the green zooming path. There was lots of sniffing to do. At the end of the green zooming path I found the sea. I was ready to practise my digging. I found a good digging place right next to the splishy splashy sea and this time the splishy splashy sea didn't steal my digging.

THIS SAND IS GOOD FOR DIGGING


THERE WERE ROCKS AND SEAWEED




Some small humans arrived near my digging so I took my humans away onto the rocks and seaweed where the small humans couldn't reach us. Small humans make lots of noise and don't like sharing or licking and jumping so they must be avoided.
BLOWING BUBBLES


ROCK POOLS
I found some splishy splashy places called rock pools so I did some paddling and blowing bubbles.
IGNORE THEM AND HIDE BEHIND A ROCK


PRACTISING ROCK HOPPING
After a while my humans wanted to go back to the digging sand but I was busy looking at the splishy splashy sea and rocks and seaweed. I hid behind a rock and ignored them because that works well.  Then I practised rock hopping.
SAND ON MY NOSE


A SHAKE
After the rock hopping I was ready to zoom again. It is best to check how good the sand is before zooming. Soft sand that gets on your nose isn't good for zooming. A shake doesn't get the sand off.
THIS WAY HUMANS


THIS SAND IS NOT GOOD FOR DIGGING
I showed my humans where the good zooming sand was. The sand that is not good for digging is best for zooming.  After I had checked the sand and done some zooming I still had sand on my nose. My humans said I was a mucky pup because I had sand everywhere. This sand isn't mucky, it's been washed by the splishy splashy sea. It's velcro sand.
SAND EVERYWHERE


THIS WAY HUMANS





I thought zooming with flying zoomers called crows would be fun. The crow zoomed to the rocks and did rock hopping. The crow was better at rock hopping than me. I couldn't keep up.
ROCK HOPPING CROW


BRAKES ON FULL
The flying crow wasn't zooming so I zoomed at my humans. I can zoom faster than them but my human with the hair says my brakes aren't working properly yet.
THE BEACH WAS VERY BIG

ME AND THE FLAT COATS
The beach was very big and empty, there weren't any vizslas there.  On our way back to the adventure travel zoomer we met some flat coats. They don't zoom but they had sticks. I asked them to play stick games but they don't know stick games.  Their humans said I'm naughty for pinching their stick. I ignored them and chewed my stick. I missed my girlfriend Sophie Vizsla. She's good at stick games.
THIS IS MY STICK
