About Jake
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.

What a relaxing afternoon. Happy WW! :)
The perfect spot for a nap. Happy WW!
a pup or a kitty has to always be on the lookout for a sun spot. I have one up today of my cat Lola in the sun too. Happy WW
We love that tail-thumping sound. When we get up in the morning, it's still dark, and Booker lies in the bedroom -- you can't see him but you can hear his tail going!
