Little Ro-ros...

FURRY FRIDAY ON SATURDAY...

It's their favourite word ~ most doggies insist on yapping it out at least 25 times a day (or more) ~ it's what we used to call the little furries when I was little: ro-ros...



All these trotterdonkey little mop-heads are cairns or cairn crosses... third from bottom I suspect the lighter one to be a West Highland cross...
(West Highland terriers were originally white cairns; now of course a separate breed...)



Earlier this evening I heard a manic yapping and forgot myself and thought "that's my cairn terrorizer... I will have to go out and grab it by the ears drag it indoors and make it shut up!" Look at this tiny terrier trotting down the road for a yap. He is so furry I just want to pick 'im up, stash 'im under my arm and dash off:



I love the scruffy look of cairnies...
If you put round glasses on this one, he would look like a furry mad professor!



"Grrrgh!"



This is a cairn and a cairmal (cairn/Maltese terrier cross) having a savage on the rug:



Conversation between old furry married couple:
"Ro"
"Ro!"
"Ro-ro ~"
"Ro-ro-ro-ro-ro!"



"Ro-ro-ro!"



"Ro!"
"R-ro!"



This puppy looks like a tiny teddy:



"Don't call me scruffy!"
"Ro-ro-ro!"



PS can anybody tell me what this is?

AND A CHEERY WEEKEND TO YOU ALL!

  1. ... I like the look of the grey one in your last photo, he/she looks like a deep thinker.

    What is the puppy? ... from their comments I gather it's a corgi a cardi perhaps :)

    I came over to say no not Versailles, but Napolean III apartment, Louvre.

  2. Napoleon who became emperor of a republic ~ how French!

    The puppy is meant to be a cairn, but it does look remarkably like a baby bear to me...

  5. Bimbimbe: was he Napoleon III or something?... I don't even know who Napoleon actually WAS... and I still don't understand how he got to be EMPEROR of a REPUBLIC... that is so French to me (France, homeland of the contradiction: Champagne Socialism being a huge one)

    Syd: they were bred to be professional rat-catchers!
