Cecil Loves His New Vegan Food!

Cecil's Look-Alike

Me and Dan are always saying how our little Cecil looks like a cartoon character or a Pixar creation. And here's further proof that he is just too cute and gorgeous to be real. My friend bought a book for her daughter and look who was in it...

Uncanny!!!

I love it :-) when I look at this page, all I see is my little Cecil prancing around in his ballerina outfit making his mummy so proud. 

*Note to self: Must make Cecil a tutu. Too much? 

The Fever

A highly contagious condition characterised by bouts of nausea, a loss of self awareness, sudden and uncontrollable excitability, embarrassing changes in pitch of voice, warm feelings throughout the body, unexpected instantaneous euphoria, outbursts of kissing and hugging and an inability to contain emotion.

Can cause sufferers to lose their grasp of the English language and resort to baby speak and nonsensical sentences.

It is strong enough to cause even the most macho of men to lose their minds and reduce them to a cooing mess.

Common triggers include puppies, kittens, chicks or almost any other baby animal, with the effects being particularly strong if said animal is doing/wearing something cute or has a silly hairdo.

Youtube is responsible for  the widest outbreak of The Fever in known history, with the most acute symptoms being reported by people who have witnessed videos such as this:

Long term sufferers report an increasing number of triggers, each more ridiculous than the last.

I personally suffer at least 3 episodes per day. Triggers are now so tenuous I have been known to uncontrollably squeal, and call out ''Ohhh look! Cecil blinked! It was soooo cute! Awww look! Now he's not blinking!! Aww!!''.

And I know for me it's only going to get worse. I've lost much of my self respect, and social etiquette is a thing of the past - I think nothing of grabbing a strange dog and kissing him on the mouth, sometimes with tongues, while passers by look on in horror. It's too late for me, but save yourselves!

Running Rascals

I love taking photos of my guys while they run riot round the park. The results never fail to make me smile, especially the goofy ones...

Is it Lord Wallace jumping?

Or is it Superpup?

Cheeky Pup!

Cecil Goes Swimming

My smallest furry friend, Cecil, has some problems with his teeny little knees and hips. His poor little bones don't fit together properly. In large part, due to over breeding, yet another reason to boycott dog breeders - as if we needed another one.

Anyway, its not a bother for him now that he's just a spring chicken (apart from that when he runs he is the subject of much mockery because of how his little twiglet legs shuffle along in the silliest, cutest way you've ever seen) but as he gets older it could cause him lots of painful trouble.

So when the vet offered a surgery free option to building his muscle strength (which would in turn reduce stress on his joints) I was delighted. Even more so when she told me it included going to our local canine swimming centre. Wait - what? A swimming club for dogs?? You're giving me a license to soggy my doggy and have him engage in people games and all in the name of his good health?! As a person who can frequently be seen confiscating my pups' doggy dignities by doing shameful things like putting bows in their hair this was right up my street!

Plus, we got to see him wearing a teeny tiny little life vest! Adorable...

The triple whammy of joy was completed when he dried off to reveal the fluffiest dog I've ever seen.

Mostly I was happy that he wasn't too nervous of his adventure...he's not the most confident little guy so I was overjoyed when he put on his brave pants and shot straight to the top of the swimming class. Proud :-)
