Radley, the Dog of the Day
Name: Radley
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Vizsla
Home: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
 
   This is my Vizsla Radley. When I knew I was getting him, I wanted to find a name that suited his characteristics. I went to a baby name book and hid the names so I couldn't see them and found the definition "Red Meadows". At the time, my last name was Meadows and he is red. The name was Radley and it was perfect.

    Radley is the most hilarious and interesting dog I have ever met. I tell him all the time that he is my "first true love" and I mean it. He is so very special to me and he makes my husband and I laugh continuously although he is a handful at times. He's very energetic and somewhat stubborn, but my husband always says to him "you are good mostly." He really has such personality and has so many quirky little behaviors. His favorite thing to do is eat, but he also loves to go for walks and torture his little sister Scout, who is also a Vizsla. She really rules the roost and anytime he has a toy that she wants, she can just take it right away from him although she was the runt and is fifteen pounds smaller. My husband tells him he's being a sissy, but I always say it's because he's trying to be a gentleman. He really thinks he's a person and he is always getting up in the dining room chairs to sit at the table if you are sitting at the table for any reason. He also likes to try to get in the chair with you and has to be right on top of me if I am on the couch. My best friend calls him a 60 pound infant.

    He is so photogenic and anytime I get the camera out he poses like a dog model. Not his sister Scout though, she hates to have her picture taken and always has the most awful frown on her face, so I thought it best to let you see Radley at his best.

    I love my Radley like I never thought I would love an animal. He is my "doggy soul mate" and I worship the ground he walks on. It's a good thing my husband is around or he'd be hard to tolerate because he certainly does not listen to me, only his dad.
