Today - to both of our surprise - Sim and I learned that Sim can swim! We were walking in Balloch Country Park with a friend, Sally, and her two black labradors: Jack and Meg. We go regularly and it is a joy to watch Sim run, and fun to watch Jack trying to keep up or waiting behind bushes to ambush Sim...

I've been toying with whether I should or should not use a muzzle on our Harry when we are out on his walks. At the mo he only gets off lead once in a blue moon in a semi enclosed field and at hours where no other dogs are around. Otherwise he's on the lead all the time. The big lad has shown a bit of a change in...

Poor Harry slightly gashed his rear knee the other day bounding/flying around the garden yesterday. He's licking the gash something daft so now he has a lampshade thingy on his head. He's letting me know he doesn't like it by pushing it into my legs/bum all the time! And to make matters worse - Pearly is...

Wondered if this is just Harry or if other ex-racer owners have this. If there's ever an occassion where we want to get Harry to go somewhere in the house and we try gently coaxing/pushing him from the rear he digs in something wierd! If we then walk in front and then coax him along he obliges - well, us...

Poor wee Hazza. Over the past month or so we've noticed that he limps after a long(ish) walk or when he's had a run around. Not immediately after the event, but more when he's been lying down sleeping and then tries to get up again. We took him to the vet today for xrays and he has osteoarthritis. It seems th...

Thought I would give you an update on wee Barney's life with the Flintstones!! He's been sooooo good! Clean kitchen every morning! He's had only 2 accidents in the house, which have been wee's - much easier to clean up than poo! He's starting to respond to his name, which is brill...

Hi all you mad doggy lovers, my name is George I am not Ladylou's Dad 'cos June (Ladylou's Mum and my wife) says that men are much further down the evolutionary chain that Whippets and Greyhounds. We have situation in that we are fast running out of food for Ladylou, Arden Grange Lamb and Rice...

Hello, Ladylou calling from Lochgelly where my new home is. I would like to thank G.A.L. and Karan for finding me a new home. I have a new brother called Scooby (he is a bit bossy) and also a new sister called Nicky who seems to have a gas fire all to herself, wait for it! I also have Sam (THE CAT) and Lady (TH...

Went to pick up McGinty from his kennels this morning. He is gorgeous and has done so well. I took him to the park and he was a real gent, then he went to visit a friend of mine who lives over Strathaven way and again took it all in his stride. I had to lift him in to the car but he had it sussed by the third attempt(...

Hoping to bring JJ to his first GAL walk on Sunday. Not sure how he'll react. Dogs are his passion and whilst he's no real trouble off lead he can be a complete pain on the lead when he sees a dog. On the other hand, he steers clear of the dog walkers and their gangs.&...

Greyhounds make great PAT dogs and Therapets. Here's some of Timmy McCullough's story... At last year’s GALA day there was a stall for Pets as Therapy (PAT). This organisation is a national charity which aims to facilitate visits to hospitals, nursing and care homes, special needs schools and...

Hiya, We had an unfortunate incident through the week when the dogs were playing, and it became more serious. Luckily we were there at the time and it was off to the vet with Ruby to get her ear stitched. Ruby will be ok once she heals, but after discussion with Carole, I've decided to return Spoo...

Just having a lickle boast about wee Pearly. We went to a wee dog show today and she got 4th place in "Best Sporting Pedigree". And that was despite whining and shivering because she was fed up of being on her feet for so long - as was I, have to add. She got a lovely emerald green rosette, a certificate and an...

Calling all boy and girl owners!!! I've been pondering recently whether there is any inherent behavioural differences between boy and girl doglets and would be interested to hear your thoughts. As you'll know from our postings, Harry is a very exciteable lad. He goes doolally when we come home...

Much as I love to see my two dogs chasing each other round the field, I've come to realise that it's safer just to keep the greyhound asleep in her basket 24 hours a day. In six years, the older dog has had one injury - a cut paw (the vet suspected a sharp stone). The greyhound seems to get a new cu...

When we got JJ we kept the name he'd been given and I have always wondered how he got it. I think Nicki named him when she rescued him from being PTS as an 8 week pup with broken leg. Does JJ stand for Jumpin Jack by any chance? Can pups with broken legs jump - hounds wi...

After the event at Finlayston on Saturday, we've decided that Fiddie is the boy for us. It was a really hard choice - I would have quite happily taken all of the dogs home. It was great to meet so many of you and to hear your stories. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous about embarking...

Well, we went back to Strathaven on Wednesday to meet Bruce (as he was then known!). All 3 dogs got on very, very well. In fact, they were so laid back, they were almost horizontal!! Our plans were to initially foster the wee man and then adopt if all goes well. Well, we've now d...

Charles Just wondered how Cleo was getting on now she's a permanent member of the family - and if she's still managing to thieve everything in sight. Is she still as fascinated with her own reflection? And what do Snap and Micky think of the new addition? Christine
