Post pics of your pet!

Well, it happened... a week ago we rescued a whippet lurcher who we've called Milly. She only has two speeds - stop, and full ahead both.
I managed to get a photo of her sunning herself today in a quiet moment ...

Inevitable, inevitable.

Very well done, though, and I hope yourselves and Milly have a wonderful life together.

Thank you; I'm sure she'll be OK. I think somewhere along the line Milly has been ill treated though, as she is a little wary and shies away if anyone makes any sudden moves by mistake.
However, she is a sweet and loving girl, and greatly enjoys cuddles with us. The other side of her (the mad side) runs so fast around the garden that she's wearing a race track into the grass
Can't wait until we are able to trust her off the lead and let her run properly across open ground.

Gorgeous photo.

Tell her abut Sam.

Yes, we have mentioned him. This one is a completely different animal, and if I've got it right will be much more easy to deal with
We will never forget Sam though, and with each passing day it's easier to think more of the great times we all had, and all the scrapes he managed to get into.

Milly looks a lovely dog Hugh...

Milly looks a lovely dog Hugh...

She is, and yesterday I let her off the lead for the first time.
I had no intention of doing this for a while yet, but there was another lurcher on the field and she was straining to go. They both had great fun belting around, evenly matched for speed and turning agility, and once they slowed down a bit I even managed to get Milly to come back (with a little bait )
Very pleased with her progress

Cheers

Congrats Hugh. She looks lovely and I'm sure that she'll settle in and gain confidence now that she has a loving forever home. Good on you for getting a rescue dog. Mrs MacRy is very proud of you as she is an RSPCA Inspector.

I've always had rescue dogs, and we tried the local RSPCA centre first, but their kennels are being rebuilt so not many dogs at the moment.
What gets me is, why are so many good and healthy animals discarded so they end up being rescued?

Mrs MacRy says it’s because their owners can’t be arsed with looking after them and get bored so just dump them. They don’t see them as members of the family, simply objects that are fun for a while. Basically people are ****

One of the nicest features of the iPhone is the ability to get our pets in a variety of...interesting poses.



Foster cat, who has thankfully moved on to the next family member willing to put up with him.

I don't know if I've posted this, but as a kitten, Bella had the habit of tackling and hoarding toilet paper rolls.

I finally got some photos of Milly playing, with her new friend Zuma, a young chocolate labrador. Sorry they're a bit blurry as they were quite a long way off when I took these...

It's taken me a very long time to be able to post this, it was taken on October 9th, and is the last picture I ever took of Patches in her favourite spot on a window ledge, sun baking and watching the world go by, very shortly before taking her to be euthanised. She had major liver issues and was having nasty seizures in the last couple of days. She was with me for 17 years and brought a smile to my face every day with her playfulness and abundance of love. Miss you to bits slinky-bits...
