I wanted to start this blog to give back to the many blogs that my husband and I read during our journey to adopt a Vizsla. Those blogs not only helped confirm our decision to adopt a Vizsla, but also have helped us understand the many stages of puppyhood - what's normal and what's not. Plus - who doesn't want to see pictures of a Vizsla?!

Ildi is a Hungarian Vizsla who was born Nov.4, 2009 and joined our Calgary household in Jan. 2010 at 11 weeks old.

Horse poop, yum!

Much to our disgust, Ildi has a new favorite food. She gobbles it like I do tiramisu, huge gulping mouthfuls, dripping off her chin.

We discovered this on a country walk at her "grandparents" when she suddenly caught a whiff of that delicious smell on the breeze, froze in her tracks then bolted for the nearest steaming pile of crap.

Amazingly, though, after eating a pound or 2 of the delicacy, no diarrhea, no puking, just up a couple of times in the night for extra "business trips".

Apparently, at least according to random-Google research this is totally normal behavior for dogs, and not toxic (though perhaps parasitic).

We just need to figure out how we can use her new treat for agility class...cheaper than the organic Zukes' treats, just a little grosser.
