Dennis’s Diary of Destruction

Featuring the exploits of Dennis the Rescue Vizsla, Tucker the Other Vizsla, Trixie the mutt, and Trouble the cat

Dennis

Dennis is a young male vizsla. He was found wandering in a canyon with his two brothers and sister. At the time, he had a bad case of mange (60-70% hair loss) and was seriously underweight. He was afraid of everything in the house and would run outside to hide whenever there was the slightest noise. Since we adopted him in November, he has put on 15 pounds or so, regrown a lot of fur (not all of it), and turned into a house dog, as vizslas are meant to be.

This page is called “Dennis’s Diary of Destruction” because at first it was a catalog of all the things in the house that he had shredded, chewed, or otherwise obliterated, once he had the energy to be a dog again. Since we got a new crate for him, he hasn’t been destroying much, but the name is too catchy to abandon.
