The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


Equipment of a non-agility sort

Since my bag was nicked in Madrid, I've been without a camera. The thieves got my camera phone AND my new shiny camera. Until the insurance money comes through I'm a bit stuck. I relied on my camera phone for impromptu pics for the blog, even though the quality wasn't great. It's driving me NUTS. So I'm borrowing an old digital camera to tide me along. About time too. I'm reduced to posting pictures of my scabby old boots.

I have to have super-grippy feet for agility. I don't feel safe otherwise. (Here's why - get well soon). It's still amazing to me that I own two pairs of shoes specially for a competitive sport. I was so unsporty at school.

Anyhoo. With the season changing I'm moving back into my old football (soccer) boots for agility. Much as I love my Inov8 Mudclaws they aren't waterproof. I may yet splash out on some waterproof socks as I find fell-running shoes are very comfy.

Everyone at the Scottish shows seems to wear Mudclaws - they're so this season. Look down at a show and all sorts of different agility people have the same feet.

Waterproof socks? When I were a lass, we wore plastic carriers inside uz shoes to keep uz feet dry. And we thought uzselves lucky.

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.
