WHAT THE SAVVY DOG IS WEARING




Hi, folks. Simi here!
I bet you’ve been wondering where I was! Well, I’ve been very busy trying to keep my mummy under control and for two days I’ve had to bark all the way through a hurricane! And mummy’s always on the computer so a dog can hardly get a paw in edgewise on the keyboard these days.

But I knew you’d all want to see my new toy, which I got for Christmas. It’s called Mr Bally-squeak. [My mummy says I mustn’t put those two words together the other way round. I can’t imagine why – it must be just one of those human things I can’t understand again.] I also got this rather slinky top for my birthday. I had to wait for it as mummy ordered it especially from my friend Mr Enzo’s shop. She says I’m a BIG girl now I’m 10 and that BIG girls who mean business wear black! [She must be right because when I stroll saucily down the road in it I stop that old poodle in his tracks.] Ever since the top arrived mummy’s been chasing me around the house trying to persuade me to pose in it. This morning I decided to humour her and I lay on the bed so that you could all see the pretty heart. Don’t I look a sassy girl? Mummy said it was like trying to photograph Princess Diana so then I posed with my Diana eyes. “That’s enough of that – I’m off!” I said when she’d taken that one. My new auntie, la zia Rosa, was cleaning the shower by then so I had to go and help by getting under it and jumping up at her. I like la zia Rosa because she calls me “amore” and tells mummy I am “troppo intelligente” [which is true, of course!]

Well, ciao for now, fans. I hope you get all the doggie-chews you can eat this year!

Love from

Simi xx woof!

Well, Simi, you look very sophisticated.

Very much the power-dressing dog...
The poodle sounds a good match for a lady of your calibre.

Just watch out for the rakish mongrels...

Welcome back I have missed you. You look very sexy in your new top, no wonder you stop that old poodle in his tracks ;-)

"Hello, Uncle Crushed. Thank you. I willn be careful!"
"Hi, Auntie Cherie. I'm glad you like my top. I didn't want to take it off tonight!"
"Hello, Miss B. I agree with that and so does my mummy!"

Betty said...

Something tells me that you're probably the best dressed dog in Sicily!

jmb said...

Too cute Miss Simi. I think that was a lovely gift your Mum got for you. You are just spoiled rotten, you know.

Rowena said...

Simi, I love that last shot. You look downright coy, but in a very regal sort of way!

Eurodog said...

Pretty. Oh, so pretty!

Bella Baita Marla said...

What a coy poser you are!

Simi is not just a pretty face; Simi can solve the problems of the dog world. For example, Simi says his favourite dog food should be available on every street corner, free at point of consumption, and supplied with free doggy-soft-drinks. Ice-cold Sundog Quench beverages and ice cream in dog flavours, e.g., bone flavoured ice-cream, ball-flavour, master-flavour, dog toy-flavours, walkie-chain flavours, etc.

Simi says it is important to remember that all dogs are born equal and are entitled to good dog loving owners, "We dogs love unconditionally, we don't favour a rich person over a poor person, we merely lick those that feed and look after us without consideration as to class or background. We just want to be fed and loved, and in that order!"

Simi, I haven't forgotten about you or your Mummy. I still drop in to visit and see if all is well. I wish you both a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Simi says:
"Thank you, Auntie Betty. I hope I am!"
"Hi, Auntie jmb. Spoiled? Moi?!"
"Ciao, Auntie Rowena. I do, don't I?"
"Auntie Eurodog, I like your name! Thank you."
"Ciao, Auntie Bella. Heehee!"
"Hello, Uncle Dr CW. I like the idea of bone-flavoured ice cream! You are right: we don't want to go around blowing people or dogs up and we just want love and food!"

Wow you look so chic, you should be on the catwalks, sorry dogwalks at Milan!

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Simi: "Thank you, Uncle jams. I've always wanted to go to Milan!"

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Marymary, how lovely to hear from you! Happy new year to you, too. Simi says: "Ciao, Auntie Marymary. Buon anno!"

I have one of those. But in pink with sparklies...

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Simi: "Ooh, Uncle Mutley. Send me a pic - go on!"

James Higham said...

Big girls wear black. Like it.

Sally said...

Oh Simi - I have only just been shown your radiant new look and how it makes this labrador's heart beat faster. The chic! The elegance! The sexy appeal - all only outdone by the sheer charm of your sideways glance. I trust that, despite the allure of your local suitors, you will reserve a small corner of your heart for your ever-devoted, Bowser

Nunyaa said...

This is a great post. Ms Simi you look stunning as always. x

Liz Hinds said...

Oh Simi, you look gorgeous! That must keep you very warm and snug as well as making you look sexy. I'd better not show your photo to George: he might dribble over the keyboard.

xx

Simi says:
"I knew you would, Uncle James!"
"Dearest Bowser, Worry not for you have won my heart with your poetic wooing. Get your mummy to book you an air ticket! xx"
"Thank you, Auntie Nunyaa."
"Thank you too, Auntie Liz. Do tell George that he's a cutie, even if he does need a psychologist!"
