Thanks for posting the photos Toni x It still doesn't seem to let me post photos for some reason. She certainly does like to be into everything! We are still learning that food can not be left anywhere, because Gem can get everywhere!!
Gorgeous hound though who is most definitely part of the family! So grateful to Southern Lurcher Rescue for the opportunity to have her and also Toni, who provided us with such a great handover :-)

Thanks for all the news and wonderful pictures. Her reliquishing owners must love the stories and they were so brave to give her up knowing she needed a far more active environment.

So a whole year has gone by and I cant believe it!! The children were so excited this morning to wish our most recent family member 'Happy Gotcha Day'! Gem really is fantastic, yes her favourite delicacy tends to be cat and fox poo which she loves to bring indoors and eat on her bed, yes she still likes to chew the odd barbie doll or pencil and yes if you cant find your slipper or flip flop then the first place you look is in Gems bed BUT..... who else is there next to you on the sofa in the evening, who else can creep like a ninja into your bed without you realising, who else greets you like you've been away for 100 years when you've only actually been gone for 1 hour, who else can run like the wind and get admiring glances and ooohs and aaahs from fellow dog walkers?! It is fair to say that Gem really is part of our pack. There isn't a lot of routine in our house, I work shifts, the children have endless after school activities, but that doesn't seem to matter to our little Gem, it seems that as long as she is with us she is happy. Back in February I felt so confident in her and the children the 4 of us took the train from Southampton to Manchester to see my brother. I was so right to have that confidence, she was a dream! Sat up on my coat next to me and looked out the window for an hour before curling up and going to sleep. The return journey was tricky because we had 2 unplanned changes but Gem took it all in her stride and just trotted alongside whichever child (Jess or Luke) had the lead - I had the suitcase!! She has been camping, she has been caravaning, she has been to pubs, basically where we go, she goes! On the rare occasion that she cant come with us then she goes to my parents which she is more than happy to do! They lost their Border Collie in August and I truly believe that it effected Gem :-( however in September they adopted a crazy lurcher from EGLR and it safe to say they are like sisters!! Their play is loud, noisy and boisterous but they've only hurt each other once and it was quite apparent it was an accident!! There is so much more i could tell you about our year with Gem but I must stop!! I've got a liver Gotcha Day cake to make!! Yes, I made sure that I had today off work to make her one!! Sorry to have rambled but I thought you may appreciate an update!

This makes Missie look huge and Gem tiny! The size difference isn't quite this significant!!
