The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


Poor old Jakey turned inside out from both ends last week. Poor wee soul. Actually we’d done quite well (quoth the vet) – it’s been 18 months since his last bad bout of gastroenteritis. Then it hit with a vengeance. Probable cause: lapping from a still puddle in Selkirk. It’s quite put me off my Gregg’s steak bakes.

Very rapid improvement with a) the vet’s jag-in-the-bum b) canine Imodium equivalent and c) a course of antibiotics. Jakey’s back to rights! It’s a happy day when poo looks like poo.

Someone call the SSPCA. There's a dog in Edinburgh being woken up when it's still dark outside to go for walks in the cold and wet. Look how he hates the lights being turned on when it's still dark outside. He covers his eyes with his cushion.









Mmmmm. Bed.
This is the Jake-approved solution. Note serene blissed out expression on a Sunday morning. In er, our bed.

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.
