Vally
Ollie is a lurcher, which is a loose term for a greyhound or whippet crossed with something else, usually a border collie or deerhound. I think he might be the deerhound variety, but we’ll never know! He has the sweetest nature – never naughty & content to live quietly in a house where no-one beats him. He had an awful start with the gypsies in the UK – he was close to death & we nearly lost him – & I don’t think will never completely trust anyone, ever. He doesn’t like to be examined or messed about with & can be difficult at the Vets. So sad. Worzel & he are best, best friends & they love running around together. Worzel runs like lightning now he’s better (abandoned ex-racing greyhound), but Ollie is more the cart horse variety & tends to fall over! He was really upset when Worzel was ill.
Hope Bingo is fine & still nagging for treats! Worzel continues with his annoying plaintive whining (almost like he’s in pain!) when he wants a biscuit. Spoiled rotten & why not?

Sadie is so cute! I wish Tempe would sleep in her bed again. She prefers the cold tile floors, and when I put a blanket down on her favorite spot she finds a new one.
A receptionist at the Vet used to say that God gave me Dunes because He knew that I’d take care of her. I am blessed that she was a stray because she gave me the best experience I will EVER have as a dog owner. Your puppy was meant for you!
Thank you Joe – I think so too! Ollie is just the sweetest boy & the whole village said he should come to us. My husband picked out Worzel at the Dogs Home because he had, in the words of the receptionist, “given up”. He wouldn’t come out of his kennel to see anyone, so we just took him home there & then. We have always adopted waifs & strays as my parents did. They ARE meant to be with us & I know how much you miss your girl – they take a piece of you heart but give back so much more. You had something very special with Dunes.
