The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


Who were those shadowy figures...?

Can this really be comfortable?
Get some pants, Jake!

"What do you dream of, sweet dog of mine?"

I am very sleeepy

It's lovely weather here at the moment and Jake has obviously had enough....we went to the door this morning after I'd stitched myself into my waterproof and fleece and hat (sadly no gloves which seem to have been eaten in the house move). Jake looks out, looks at me and legs it back into the house. I get him back with frank bribery and attach his lead, and then have to drag him out into the wind and the rain.

I stop at the car to get my training shoes (I assure you I am not barefoot at this point) and look for Jakes cute xmas coat. I find my shoes but not his coat. While I'm looking Jake decides he'd be drier in the car so hops in , making this the second time I have to drag him out into the wet and the wind in five minutes.

We then had a lovely (aka miserable, damp trudge) walk in the park with some desultory ball chasing and then we dripped our way back home where it took me ten minutes to dry the dog and the dog many more minutes to dry himself on the new carpet and the sofa and my trousers fab!

Jake is exhausted after a two hour agility class. He did very well. And I didn't fall on my arse once!

Some pics of less worthy moments this weekend...

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.
