Jake's Progress

The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


It has recently come to our notice that some of Jake's friends think he belongs to us, and are using such terms as "pet" or "owner." How last century! More appropriate terms are companion animal, fellow domestic mammal, and from Jake's point of view, companion people, fellow pack members, aka personal maid and Mother Hubbard.


The dame made a curtsey,
The dog made a bow;
The dame said, Your servant,
The dog said, Bow-Wow.

Jake would like it be known that he merely finds Rod's slipper a comfy headrest. It in no way implies he misses his fellow domestic mammal, nor should a traditional owner/pet scenario be assumed.
I am devoted companion animal. H'mmmm. Feet.


Hand in hand is the only way to land... we see ya, ya big sook.

Dinnae tell the dogs in the park.


And there will be none of this.

    P.S. We are in awe of Lesley Neville's dog handling and her clever bearded collie. It's just the very thought of Jakey being able to do a routine... Perhaps to something alternative - Nick Cave's Mercy Seat? Anthony & the Johnsons?

Pic of Jake with insane toothy grin

Jake is a black & tan lurcher, adopted from Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home in August 2004. He now lives the life of Riley in a leafy suburb of Edinburgh. His interests include agility, running like the wind, enticing other dogs to chase him, fellow sighthounds Molly & Steve, squirrels, swans, plush swans, swans on telly, Portobello beach, the Edinburgh hills, sofas, & snoozing. 

Jake wears Earth Dog hemp collars from Mango Mutt. His collar tag (compliant with KC agility regs) is from the excellent Indigo Collar Tags.
