On the hunt

[motorbiking]

Our cats have their own sheepskins, mrs filly works for a company that sells them amongst other things.

I know he’s doing his rug pose. But he’s not a sheep.

I am from Lancashire which is traditional whippet country and yet I haven't seen one for years.

How do they get on with your pigeons?

As I understand it the younger dog might bully him. Probably a bitch would be safer.

OMG we couldn't have that happen. Brian is very timid.

So you can’t have an intact male then.

Stalin was a dog that we never got castrated, he was always bullying Brian and Brian hated him so we thought, but since him passing Brian has rapidly changed.,

I’m on my second whippet, love the breed. Fast,

I remember going for walks with my grandad and his whippet, we would go on this large open park and it used to tease the hell out of all the other big dogs, boxers, alsations, dobermans, but they could never catch it!

Yes our concern too. Brian has never been on his own before so we are thinking he will like it. He seems lost now

So you already have another dog -- is that right. What about waiting and doting on him before you have another. What did you do with him on your 15 day cruise or do suits allow pets too -- you had a suite didn’t you - I cant remember

When my son was at uni they had a dog in their house-share. It was officially "owned" by one of them, and he was going to take it with him and keep it on when they all left, but for the interim it was the house dog.

Whippet/Staffie cross.

Mad as a box of frogs.

My mother looked after the dogs, she moved into our house to look after them whilst we were away. We are giving Brian lots of attention but he is moping about and has changed all of his habbits, eating, sleeping and general well being. We would be happy to keep him on his own but he seems to be missing Stalin so much

 

[morqthana]

I had the same thoughts but we miss our little pal so much that the pain is too much to bare for us. We want a dog that needs a home and hopefully will come out of its shell and be well behaved through trust. My mate is a dog trainer and he has told us that we shouldn't worry as dogs can sense kindness and an abused dog can often turn out better than a pedigree, we will give it a shot.

Rocky Kanaka Sitting with Dogs highlights some of the best shelter dogs in the world that just need their story told. It doesn't matter if it's a shut down dog, dog that needs to be told they are a good girl or a dog that is growling at Rocky Kanaka he wants to spend time with them to see if he...

There are still people keeping pigeons in wood-and-wire coops in the back yards of terraced houses! The fancying scene appears to be thriving.

Coops, or larders?

I've always known it as a coop.

From which the expression 'cooped up' comes.

I take the p155 but they're a bird I've always liked. There's a couple hang around on the lamp post outside our house. Some years back one appeared in the gutter of a single story garage of a mates house. It stayed there for two days so my mate started to feed it. Eventually it would knock on the kitchen window in the morning to let him know it was time for breakfast. He became so close to it that he was eventually able to read the tag on his leg so via some pigeon organisation was able to track the owner in Wales, he called him but the owner wasn't interested in collecting him, the owner suspected he was blown off course in a storm on the way back from France. He stayed with my mate for about 3 months before moving on to destinations unknown, my mate was pretty upset.
