Jake's Progress

The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


We left Jakey at home while we popped out to vote. Other dogs in our neighbourhood did trot to the polling station with their people: Oscar the shih tzu, collie father-&-son Blue and Fram (sp?). Who would the dogs vote for? The Collie Borg party? (Because all collies would vote alike – with great accuracy). Scottish Shih-Tzus for Independence?

Meanwhile the hot topic at agility (apart from trauma because a fellow human has injured herself quite badly, but we’ll not dwell on that) is – choosing a suitably three-part name for the assorted mutts and rescues to register on the Kennel Club Activity Register. This allows us to engage in displacement activity – why fret that our teacher thinks we’re nearly ready to compete when we can be having a laugh choosing poncy names? We have to submit three options in case some other hound already has snaffled the first or second choice.

I quite like Jake’s the King of the Castle, or Little Lord Fauntledog, or [Our suburb name]’s Fawnface.

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.
