Jake's Progress

The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


We took Jake to Portobello as the park was a bog. Though Edinburgh's Seaside was littered with dead birds - we counted two puffins - and countless starfish. Jake picked up one starfish and brought it back, thinking it was a toy. And he only picked up one dead bird.

All a far call from yesterday's romps in the snow!

Such a busy life for a lurcher. Dozing in sunlight waiting for that afternoon walk...

Sleeping off the clicker training class...

It's all too much

You feel tired just thinking about it.

zzzzzzzz

I was playing with the boy's head today ... whenever he pulled on the lead I'd turn round & start walking home, then when he was good (usually immediately), head back out again. Sometimes when he pulled ahead we'd suddenly have to cross the road (& he'd have to sit first). A few goes of each & he was walking very nicely, even down towards squirrel alley, site of many a great tug-a-thon. I think he's getting the message. Plus it's quite amusing me. Bwah-ha-haaah.

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.
