Mirtillo and Pip


  • My sister's pup Pip is spending the weekend at our place. Today we went to the Zoo and had some great fun. Pip is a brave little man! He did all the things Tillo did as well :D Of course we took pics!

    First some of Mirtillo and Pip at home..

    Tillo in the sun

    Basenji feet

    Pip!!!!!!!!

    Give me that flip flop!!

    What are you doing?

    Wrinkly face

    Checking out what Pip's doing..

    Pip hanging around :D

    He can also rest..

    And then Zooooo pics :D

    Tillo not impressed by the hyena..

    Pip isn't scared either..

    We would really like a treat now…

    Yes.. Elephants… I know... Now can I get a treat?

    Wooooooow.. look at that, look at that!!!! (it was a small train for children ;))

    Looking at the monkeys :)

    Tillo trying to play with one

    Mr Monkey wasn't really interested in Tillo.. ;)

    The King (he lay next to the glass… What a beautiful animal!)

    These are fun!

    Tillo really liked these nosy creatures

    They liked him too :D

    Tillo all excited showing his ridge

    Pip needed to sit a bit higher.. otherwise he couldn't see it ;)

    Love this pic with the reflection in the window :)

    Looking at the rhinos.. as you can see.. Tillo wasn't interested at all ;)

    Look a penguin!

    Cool dude :D

    More penguins

    Pip under attack!

    Brave puppy!

    We had fun! And we were all tired afterwards.. :D


  • I wish I lived in a place where dogs were allowed at the zoo.

    what a little terror, er, I mean terrier. <gg>very cute. And Tillo is as gorgeous as ever.</gg>


  • Thank you for the fun pictures that brought a smile to my face.


  • Ooooooh!!! Ooooooh!!! Ooooooh!!! :p:D:p:D

    You know how much I love Tillo (and friends) at the Zoo pics!!! If I'm not mistaken, this is the Part 3 (of Tillo at the Zoo) series!!!

    Pip sure is pretty brave and it's pretty cool Tillo can stand up straight like that (and showing off his muscular built) though I really love his eyes…

    The hyena and dog 'face-to-face' is always a fun scene!!! :D:D:D


  • great pix!!! they are both soooooooo cute! and i'm so jealous of dogs actually being able to go places in europe!!


  • Wow! I had to go back and look at them twice. Not sure how my Abbey would act at the zoo.


  • Thanks for all the nice comments! The Zoo is fun, fun, fun! Tillo always becomes over-excited. If he could, he would jump through the window of the car as soon as he knows where we're going :D ;)


  • What WONDERFUL pictures! Sadly I don't think any zoo here in the US lets you take pets… I'd be shocked if one did. I was so impressed in France to see dogs everywhere, from museums to restaurants to city buses.


  • It is wonderful to see Tillo and Pip interacting with the animals, from the charging primate to a hyena. I imagine it is good stimulus for the zoo animals as well.
    Thanks, I always enjoy your adventures.


  • Great pictures Janneke!!!

    The one with the Hyena that close is great!!!

  • Houston

    Wonderful pictures Janneke..that little Pip looks so cute..of course Tillo is still my favorite B boy..the wrinkles, the eyes..perfection..


  • I love the zoo pictures - some of the smaller zoos here allow us to take in dogs (under control of course) it's all excellent experience.

    No Kidding…. I agree, I would love to be able to do that with mine.....


  • Wow - really great pictures! Both dogs are beautiful. :)

    Can't beieve you're allowed to take your dogs in to the zoo over there - that is amazing! :cool:


  • The pictures are beautiful, as always. Looks like you had a great time at the zoo. Can't go to the zoo here either!!!! …..I'll take some pictures of our walks here tomorrow, hopefully everyone will enjoy them,.. Although I guarantee they won't be as nice as these!!

    Love watching the dogs do agility! Tillo did great…..I guess in that first one he just thought the course should be set up a little different ;-).

    @Elscodobermann: Great pictures as always. There are plenty of people here in Scotland who are desperate to see Tillo in real life! if you do decide to visit i am sure all of us Scottish folk can help you to find dog friendly accomodation - and maybe arrange a basenji get-together somewhere. That sounds wonderful! I think it will be Scotland then for 2010 :) Looking forward to it already! :D Dog friendly accomodations are very welcome! :D
