Our pets

Hi Yorky, it's horrible when they leave you isn't it? Good luck to you mate.

 

Two Ferrell cats at work sharing breakfast with a Magpie!!!
Never seen owt like this

 

Never had you down as in to nature in the wild - Other than face doon in a field on a sunday morning

Interesting picture though

 

Face doon? It's called worm hunting
(That's my story and im sticking to it)

 

Saw this the other day ! Doggie stole the show completely !

 

Mickey & Archie, waiting on me to throw the ball

 

Along with Greyhounds, my favourite dogs!
Lovely picture, they remind me so much like my Haggis & Deefa, now sadly gone.

 

Taggart is not spoilt.

 

Ah, a working dog then! (on nights?)

 

At work on his home range!

 

i woudn't say they are best friends, more acquaintances! Archie loves annoying Mickey he puts up with it for a while before putting the young one in his place

 

If you find an answer let me know mate, I getting rather worried too!


They've all been suffering from it over the years and still no answer!

 

Holy cr#p! Thought I was looking at the larder of a Korean restaurant there!

 

old Korean saying-
Greyhound no feed four, but a labrador will!

 

We must be mad!!
2 greyhounds presently in a trainers kennels just retired, a dog & a bitch, both black (my favourite!) which makes them hard to home, plus they need to go together as the bitch is dependent on the dog or wont go walkies, been in the same kennel for as long as I can remember, I've followed both during their racing careers, and they were due to go to a retired greyhound rescue, didn't trust them to home them together......................so............. you've probably guessed.................. we are taking them on.

This is 'River', race name Droopys Rives, 4yrs



This is Grace, race name Listry Ace, 5yrs
Possibly going to re-name them, River will be Clyde as he's coming to live at the mouth of the Clyde, so Grace will become Bonnie!
Really hated the risk of them being split up, too bloody soft for my own good!
I'm hoping to go down to Surrey next week to get them, a mere 430 miles each way, so looking forward to that little time waster!
That'll be 6 with us at present, but our old boy is coming up 12 the end of this month and our blue bitch is coming up 11, so being realistic it wont be 6 for many more years more.
These 2 will almost certainly be the last we take on, we will both be in our 70's when the last of these depart, we might take on A single older one, but no plans as such.
I'll put some more pictures up when I've got them home, these are race kennel 'stock' pictures taken earlier so there may be some white coming on their muzzles by now, then again there may not.
2 more for beach walks then.

Here are my lazy mutts. Cavaliers not very bright, but pretty & very loving especially when food about. Spend 18 hours a day asleep!

 

Sadly passed now, but as I can no longer have pets, this was my girl Dorothy

 

That's a nice pic of Dozer, Jez.

 

Wow Nigel, Dorothy looks beautiful. What breed was she? Some sort of retriever ?

 

Thanks

Dorothy was a Newfoundland ( and an Irish show champ ), now used in Italy for water rescue ( launched from Helicopters ), but were originally bred as draught dogs hauling carts & sleds in Newfoundland and worked off fishing boats.
