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.

That's a beautiful photo - the positioning of Jake, the line curving into the distance, the two-third foreground and one-third sky. Lovely!
BTW, thanks for visiting my blog.
My mum was from Edinburgh, lived in the High Street in an old building that is now gone, torn down for a carpark, down near the new parliament.
I'll be marking your blog for a regular visit! (I'm in Australia.)
Thanks, Parlance. It was a lucky shot! I know that end of the Royal Mile well. There's been a lot of new build going up with the Parliament.
Best,
Gus
Beautiful picture. What is Jake looking at? Little seal perhaps?
Hi Amici. Jake is actually looking at a knot of seaweed ...
