My name is Prince and I am funky!

Diesel's stitches were removed on wednesday evening.

Thursday was his first chance to play in twelve days!

But not many of his usual playmates were in the park.

Alfie and Dash are young miniature dashunds.

Diesel used to like them a lot when they were younger.

But now they are older and like to sniff him.

Diesel does not like that at all.

This is Alfie,he has Diesel's colour and his frown,even his ears fold back the same way.

Dash looks more like a mini Doberman than a mini vizsla.

Diesel once expressed his displeasure when Dash sniffed him.

Which is why Diesel is wearing his spray collar.

The boys are looking a little tired.

Diesel is a lot bigger than dash.

Diesel met Erin and Sue just as Dash and Alfie were leaving.

He would like to play with them but they usually chase him away.

Diesel rather likes being chased by girls.

Note the couple in the background,they walk around the park nearly every day.

Note also the lack of a barrier between the park and a dual carriageway.

Lilly can't play much as she is twelve years old but she would if she could.

Lilly and Sally are often followed by their stalker Paul.

Sally looks like a puppy but is seven years old.

She used to only play chase for a few seconds.

But today she played with Diesel a lot.

Even with the ladies present,Diesel is pointing out the rabbits.

What is this?

Anthony won't let Diesel swim yet but he can have a paddle.

This handsome young collie is Prince.

Diesel played with him a lot when they first met.

Until Prince got too friendly and Diesel told him off.

Now Prince is number one on Diesel's "Don't sniff me!" list.

He is a very nice dog but doesn't seem to understand what a growl means.

Prince has just recovered from a broken leg.

But Diesel did not do that.
