Lovely little Lady has been waiting to come into us for two weeks. Lady is nearly pure whippet. She was given up by her owners to a friend at their riding stables as they felt they didn't have enough time for her. As they had said they would put her in rescue the daughter of the lady who contacted us decided to take her in and find her a home. Mum contacted us and Lady is now with Helen and her lovely hounds and boys and cats in Essex. Lady is only little. She will need to be booked in for neutering shortly and have her vaccinations and a microchip implanted. She is a lovely little girlie and is used to living with other dogs, and it seems not too cat unfriendly. As she has been living with the family in Kent she will not need to be with us too long for assessment. I am sure Helen will fill you all in on Lady shortly. Here she is

Lovely lovely Lady, is currently playing with my 2 girls in a big boucing ball in the living room ;D My girls (yes even Tarka) are besotted with her! What have we learnt about her so far? Well, she's gorgeous , has amazing ears, is incredibly obedient. Loves a cuddle and a . Walks perfectly on the lead. Puts my 2 steam trains to shame, She's fitted in with me and mine perfectly, like she's been here forever. No accidents, and she askes to go out. She steals the kids toys, doesn't eat them just sits with them, looking oh so pleased She's very submissive and is readily handing over anything she's got to Tarka if she decideds to be a strop pot. She looked interested in stunt cat Mia, but then licked her and trotted on. Think she may have been intended to work, no dew claws? But she's very respectful of Mia. She didn't chase the 'whoose cats' either, just a wag. Although they haven't run off at speed from her yet, will watch that one. All in all a gorgeous little girl, who is a pleasure to have around. Feels like she's been here all her life. Piccies to follow once they've decided to cooperate in downlodaing.

Little Lady is booked in for neutering on Friday, but it could be earlier this week if Anil gets a slot. Having spoken to Helen WE NEED A HOME FOR LADY WITH CHILDREN AROUND, as she loves them, and another dog would be lovely, and of course, she is cat friendly. ;D

A thousand apologies Helen - on the face of it we've saddled you with a foster dog that's come into SLR's care under false pretences!
'Tis too late to do owt about it now, but I promise that we'll try not to let any non-Lurchers slip under the radar in future. ;D ;D ;D
