Re: The Pet Thread
ill try and get some of her later, but no befores atm, ill keep an eye on her ready for next tiem, she kinda just looks all dull, kinda like your looking at her through a see through bag and her eyes go completely blue (and she gets very grumpy co she cant see very well)
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: The Pet Thread
So it's been well over a years since we lost our Boxer. I still miss him.
My wife isn't a massive dog fan. But me and the kids want one and I know my wife will take to a dog as she does every time.
We've been looking around at rescue centres. Yesterday we went to the Dogs Trust to take a look. It's very busy and I got the impression they go more on the form you fill in that listen about you and your family background. They don't seem keen on dogs going to homes with kids in. I guess that's in case a child gets bitten.
So after seeing several dogs, finding 3 we liked and having 2 dismissed straight away as they don't like cats we saw this chap.

He's already reserved so we're next in the queue. I've never really thought about a lurcher before but he's full of character and got on really well with us for the short time we got to spend with him.

Re: The Pet Thread
Socks looks great !! I'm going to assume he's a sock thief though
Good thing about lurchers is they don't require much exercise - certainly not as much as people think

Re: The Pet Thread
They're a mix breed. It's not officially recognised by the kennel club but it's the longest standing named Monel mongrel dog breed. They're between a whippet and a greyhound in size. Lighteningly fast when hunting but otherwise very lazy. Crap guard dogs, excellent family dogs.

Re: The Pet Thread
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the next one will be the right one.
Still at least you won’t have to recover your socks from a pile of dog doo every day.

Re: The Pet Thread
We're rehousing a dog in 2 weeks. She's about 2 years old. Very friendly, a bit excitable with dogs, will need a bit of training but seems suitable for us.
