Pictures of ME

I am Vlashka and this whole page is dedicated to photos of ME

Snow Art. Just one of my hobbies.

Groupie? Me? You betcha!

"Urusen" and me. Hangin', chillin', groovin'

Stop all the clocks! Cut off the telephone, prevent me from barking with juicy bone.

Darrrrlings. I ask you? Who hasn't stroked these ears? And guess what dear Simon Callow wrote in our guest book "Exquisite shop, stunning books, great dog" (yes, this last bit was genuinely underlined)

Pucker up!

Gordon? Delia? Jamie? Forget it. There's only one celebrity chef for me and that's Paul Merrett.

More than I can chew?

Don't bet on it. Chewing a leaf out of Julia Hailes' New Green Consumer Guide I have given up plastic balls in favour of toys "au naturel". Everyone has their limits, however, and the stuffed flying squirrel stays (at least until I can catch myself a real one).

Humphh.

This is how I feel these days, since being under Cesar's Command (see my Vanity Page for more details of why life has taken a turn for the worse)

 

 

 

Brainless Book Monkey

I break with tradition by not including a photo of me this time but I had to share this most perfect of Christmas presents with you - A book monkey who moans when you squeeze him and whose fluff for "brains" I spent Boxing Day ripping out. Wooffeee!

I dedicate this photo in my gallery to all those brainless book monkeys out there. 

Infinite thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for their most thoughtful present.

A Pinch of Posh

Dear Jacqueline & Laurence,

It was an absolute delight to have you over the other day for afternoon tea and cuddles.

Please do stop by again very soon and love to the Spaniels.

Yours Poshly,

Vlashka x

It's very tasty, thanks for asking

Another from my back catalogue - couldn't get away with that kind of behaviour these days! 

This one is dedicated to my gorgeous "Aunties", Rachel and Suz who met me on my first day out of the dogs' home and above whose flat I howled the first few nights and in whose flat I had a few little "accidents"! Sorry about that. I know I'm forgiven because they constantly fight over who loves me more. Personally I think Suz has the edge as Rachel has flitted off to Hong-Kong and it's hard to get the proper loving I deserve from that far away.

Those were the days, my friend...

I dedicate this latest addition to my gallery (a more youthful shot) not to the girl in the photo (who was ever so nice) but to my friend Marilyn in the Czech Republic.

Back in my youth, Mr and Mrs B abandoned me on several occasions and left me with Marilyn. It turned out, however, that she was far nicer and more dedicated to me and it is with great regret that my attempts to hide under the sofa when they came to pick me back up never worked. 

So, Marilyn, thank you and a fond goodbye.

At play with ball

I am proud to present the inaugural photo in my Vanity Gallery.

I dedicate it to Kelly and Matt whose own dog is in Oz with their parents and who have kind of adopted me as their own Favourite Pet. I'll scratch your back....
