It's a doggies life.

Hello,hello! Lovely to see you!Such nice weather here, I should be out on the beach. But I couldn't resist  showing you these photos of her Royal Highness, Queen Ellie 1st.

I was curled up on a chair with Ellie and Douglas, our two miniature wire-haired Dachshunds. Douglas was actually underneath Ellie. Cosy, don't you think?

Ellie looks like the perfect little lady, doesn't she? And she is polite. To complete strangers.

Whatever you do, do NOT wake Ellie from her beauty sleep. She gets very grumpy, and a bit foul mouthed to be honest.

Look! You can see Douglas's back under Ellie in the photo above!

Oh dear I see one great big beady eye wide open. Trouble won't be far behind.

What do you think of this little girl?! I took this a couple of weeks ago, so Binky, the adorable puppy, has grown a bit since then. But she's still a little treasure.

I love animals. I love most animals. I just like all their little personalities. I even like rats! Have you ever looked at their amazing teeny weeny paws, and watched them use their paws like hands? No? Honestly, tame rats are fascinating creatures. When they wash, it's adorable! You don't agree?! Oh well, never mind!

What about this adorable creature, in the photo above? Surely you can't resist her, a baby Guinea Pig? her name is Susie. She's named after my Mother-in-Law.

 

She's so little! Sooooo teeny tiny, itsy bitsy. She sat in my hands like this for ages, and looked like she was going to fall asleep. I think she is about six weeks old. Apparently, Guinea Pig babies are born with fluffy fur, and squeaks, and they're meant to be the sweetest little things on this planet. Six weeks is the youngest I've seen a Guinea Pig.

Susie has a sister, named Rosie, after the other granny. Isn't that funny, the Guinea Pigs are named after the two grannies, Susan and Rosemary! Love it!

I love the names people give their pets, sometimes they're hilarious. I think Susie and Rosie, after the two grannies, are the best I've heard for ages! 

If you're in agreement with me on the high cute factor of this post, you might already know of the website cute overload, people send in photos of their adorable pets, or animals, and you might find it very entertaining. While I adore sweet little animals, the emotion that goes into cooing over them drains me a bit. Plus we're constantly cooing over our two little doggies, and their eternal cuteness in everything they do. It's exhausting, I tell you, exhausting.
I feel a bit tired after all the photos of lovely little pets in this post. I think the solution to that, is to relax with a bit of crochet. What do you think about that? Yes, you agree? That's nice to hear! I'll see you tomorrow then lovely readers! Love Vanessa xxx

excellent guinea-pig inclusion!
we used to have loads (16 at one point) when i was a kid. can confirm they are the cutest baby animals - teensy bodies the same length as their heads, but massive ears... fitted 6 all lined up on my hand once, they were a day old.. squeak!

[kitschen pink]

You are such a softie. I'm afraid guinea pigs don't float my boat but Binky... well, Binky I am in love! (although of course Douglas and Ellie are looking adorable as ever!) t.x

[Helen Lambert]

I adore animals too, especially cats and dogs...however...put me withing a few yards of a rat and its full blown panic attack brown paper bag emergancy...very very emabarrasing when its in the middle of whitby in front of lots of holiday makers and my litle blessing at the age of 6!!! your doggies are lovely ..would love to give them a cuddle and the puppy would just fit in my pocket...

Guinea pigs are so cute aren't they? I love their wqueaks, though we had two living free range in our garden for a couple of years and they were truly vicious! Much better to keep handling them. Have a lovely day Vanessa x

Awwwww!!! They are soooo cute!!! I Also adore animals. I have a dog, a beagle, his name is Trigo - in portuguese which means wheat. And he is adorable!! Love your photos.

Ellie made me laugh. She looks very much in control of you all and knows it.

One of our G.Pigs came to us pregnant without us knowing it. First I knew was when I saw a small furry thing running around the hutch. Umbilical cord intact so obviously just born. So Vanessa they do come out eyes open and all furry - and painfully big for the mummy Pig. No wonder Bluebell hated being cuddled.

They are truly funny, they all line up like old ladies on the seafront and watch us when we eat outside, Squeaking away.

Have a great weekend.

What a lovely collection of cuddly pets, I bet they are spoilt rotten and quite right too

[melanie]

I'm like you Vanessa, I love all animals, even rats and mice. I have always had animals, since the day I was born, I could not imagine my life without animals in it, I love them.
Your post is so cute! xxx

I have cuteness overload. I used have G pigs. when I was about 20, the first one I had was call Billy after Billy Idol as he had white sticking up hair. The second one was a little cute black and sand one. She was call Alaska so if someone asked what her name was I would say Alaska! geddit???!! oh I know groan factor rating about 10 I think! lol.

My mum had a cute little yorkie when we were growing up called poppet. She was very sweet although once we got older hated younger children. Little growly thing she was at them. Then my DH and I had a Beagle called Ryley and they are super cute as puppies. But a lot of hard work though as they are very wilful dog. too intelligent by half.

Love you doggies and little Binky is just too cute. I want some cute cuddlely animals now!..

LOl. lovely cute post

your doggies are gorgeous. Notso sure about the rat bit personally but each to their own! x

[felicity]

I love curling up with belle purring beside me, although she's always after my wool!
I sometimes name my plants too!! he he!! We had William (Willie to his friends) the Chilli which my husband grew from seed, lovingly watered and looked after until one day I knocked it off the windowsill, poor old Willie never fully recovered after that!! xx

[Tam]

I'm biased but I can confirm that Binky is a complete honey! Her cousins aren't bad either ;-) Love the pics of Rosie and Susie, havent managed close up pics myself yet. xx

[Kate MacDonald]

A blog full of poppets! Very cute bu I@ll leave you with the rats, I do agree though their hands/paws are incredible but it's the tails. Eeek!

Hiya,

I j..............ust love your crochet squares which are the nearest to the ones my Nana used to make. I must post a pic of the waistcoats, not only me and my sister wore but also all of my girl cousins wore as children.
Do you have a pattern for those squares as I am not all that good at square crochet. I usually stop at flowers..?

I do love, love, love the Guinea Pig. I used to keep guinea Pigs myself and had many which I used to pamper and show at village events winning two and a half pence and a Rosette. Does he eat well? He looks like a proper Guinea Pig and not one of these skinny whinny ones that are being bred these days x squeeeeek x

Awwww....your little animals are so sweet...what little cuties they are!!!!!
