I have just spoken to my vet, Leon is booked in for op on friday, the good news is I have persuaded him to do the op for £1,000 not £1,200 . He will stay overnight so we have the weekend to pamper him. Due to all his leg problems I have neglected to keep you updated on him as a dog for adoption. He has a wonderfully happy attitude to everything, gets on well with Gershwin and elderly Connie my wolfie (who can be grumpy at 10yo) no food aggression whatsoever you can take food out of his mouth and he won't mind, clean in house, asking to go out for toilet, considering he has been used for coursing, he his very good with restricted exercise and not bouncing off the walls. I took him next door to the kent showground yesterday and let him off lead in one of the enclosed areas, he had a quick run and then came straight back when called. He can whine when left in the dogs room and if he gets into the kitchen it won't be as you left it!! Looking at him now he is in HIS chair, bum in the air, nose on floor. Bless him

Well done Claire, £1,000 is much better. And better for him to be where he is familiar and happy xx

Hope everything goes well on Friday. I have a big soft spot for this fellow as he reminds me so much of Dudley with his rough coat mainly on the back and his splodges/spotty colourings. He also seems to have the same gorgeous temperament. Good luck!

Leon has now been initiated to pub culture, initially tail between legs, but so many people made a fuss of him, he took it in his stride, then fell asleep under annoying fruit machine. Have sent pics to Jenny to post (can't work photo bucket) he was a pleasure to take out and met other dogs with no problem. Fingers crossed for Friday's op, he will have to stay overnight at vet's, I know its best for him but will worry that it's another drama in his life. Bless him

Every pub should have a lurcher loafing on the floor (or pref sofa).

The vet has phoned to say his op went well and is pleased with result, he has a lot of trauma to surrounding muscle probably due to being worked after cruciate rupture. When I admitted him this morning, I asked them to look at his front dew claw as it is deformed, as I suspected it's a bodged attempt to remove it when younger ( FFS! new words learnt today)he said to leave it alone for now as it doesn't seem to bother him. He will stay overnight at vets, home lunchtime and lot's of TLC . Thanks for all your kind support. X
