Tulipa and Others

16 comments


A month or two ago Tulipa visited me with her chauffeur=PM, Pam for short.
She took us for a walk in the Wynberg Boys High School grounds, just 5 minutes walk up the road from me.
Pam had sneakily “forgotten” to bring any of Tulipa’s balls along, but that dodge didn’t work, for Tulipa soon sniffed out a ball in the bushes and brought it to her non-resident Minister of Sport (me).
I then of course was obliged to practically dislocate my shoulder throwing the ball for her.
Yesterday I paid her a return visit – see photos below.

To answer Skillen's leading question first, Jessie and Tulipa have not met, and are unlikely to do so as far as I can see.
Fp, Tulipa IS small - the smallest JR I have seen apart from real miniatures - but she seems to think she is a match for any huge dogs, and is very aggressive towards them. Luckily none of them take her seriously, and she is a universal favourite among strangers encountered on walks. She is unbelievably cute. And also the most indefatigable dynamo of energy I have ever seen, when it comes to pursuing gulls along the beach or running after tennis balls. For her size, her speed is incredible.
H, L, C, and San - your compliments are appreciated.

Tulipa is obviously the boss then, that photograph of her with Queen Mab is lovely...........

It is always the small dogs who are the most aggressive, she does look cute with it though.....

Lovely blog, Gurth! Thanks...:)

Thanks, Uma.
Skillen, I have to report further that a meeting has now occurred.
Unfortunately, it did not go too well. Tulipa is used to playing with her own black-and-white cat, but Jessie is not in a similar position and did not approve.
But no blood was shed luckily.

Lol Gb, Jessie is not to be messed with! :~))

No, the correct form is for Tulipa to stay in her car and not come in through the gate. (Jessie rules here). But security suffered a breach.

I think Tulipa will think twice next time Gurth!

Lol, Skillen - I have to hand it to Tulipa, she has got guts. I once saw her being viciously disciplined by a huge Alsatian, who pinned her between its paws and pretended to savage her, but she was not fazed.
Jessie has ordered a tightening-up of security and determined efforts will be made to prevent another breach.
