But how sad their stories are... You are doing a great thing.<br /><br />Do they instinctively chase other animals? I remember hearing that friend's cat had been killed by greyhounds which were exercised in the fields near their home, but maybe this is not a fair assessment of their character. I would like to hear another side to the story!Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860059361824798575.post-44002530957081811362009-11-30T09:53:53.674+00:002009-11-30T09:53:53.674+00:00thanks for popping to my blog.

Which one is that smiling at the end-is it Rufus? I love that picture of them on their fur rugs-they look like regal greyhounds. It is terrible that such beautiful animals are treated so badly. It is a good job there are so many like yourself and Mike who want to rehome them. <br />I look forward to seeing the shots of the trees!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860059361824798575.post-90358127867003902562009-11-26T18:44:02.667+00:002009-11-26T18:44:02.667+00:00Now I want to know, what is a ripple blanket? phot...Now I want to know, what is a ripple blanket? photo please! :DKathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860059361824798575.post-82122349556469689812009-11-26T14:04:16.186+00:002009-11-26T14:04:16.186+00:00They are all beautiful.

Fascinating to read how fast they are and to see yours enjoying the comfort of home warms my heart. I would say they are lucky to have you and Mike and visa versa. Thank you for your kind comments on my post earlier. You were one of the first bloggers I corresponded with and I'm so grateful we have remained in touch.

The chap was fined, apparently there were hundreds of bodies buried on his land. Lurchers are also sprinters who spend the rest of their day asleep. When we volunteered for the rescue, people would overlook them as pets, because they mistakenly believed they needed "A lot of exercise". Due to the "hunting with dogs act", thousands of lurchers have been abandoned and destroyed. Interesting to read that about their teeth, the racing hounds are fed a very sloppy diet, which causes tartare and gum disease as you discovered. I am so happy seeing your beautiful dogs safe and in a loving home, where they give you so much love in return XXKathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
