I'm the West End too. We walk to Cross Park and Oddbins wine tasting on a Sat afternoon and in the morn can be found in Dawsholm Park or Kelvin Walkway. My dad pounds the streets of the west end with them during the week! I've noticed a lot of greyhounds recently too - word must be getting out about them
When you think about it they make great pets for the West End flats, all they nned is a comfy bed and there as as happy as... well a Greyhound in a comfy bed!
My colleague, Marc, has a lurcher Suki (half Saluki!) in the West End - they can oft be found in Botanic Gardens i believe. They do make great pets for flats but it's amazing how many people have said to me 'oh a lurcher, she'll need a lot of exercise'. After I've stopped laughing, I tell them the truth and they're always amazed.
