This one's mine!

Postby Oddquine » Fri Nov 28, 2008 1:55 am

I'd have liked a dog, but being a couple of hundred miles from my family, and having to use public transport, I couldn't.

Now a friend has given me a pup that he will babysit when I want/have to go down the road.

And when I say pup, Dougal is a seven months old lurcher and currently the size of a greyhound..........loups walls with ease, and life is curently a battle of wills.......but it's early days, and I will prevail...if it kills me! :rolleye11:

He's maybe a bugger - but he's YOUR bugger!! He look so docile though, I bet you have a battle of wills all the time. :mrgreen:

Aawww he is gorgeous Oddie.

I bet you spoil him on the quiet. They always seem such a gentle dog.
At least that one was that I took in last year until her owner came home from work because she had escaped through the gate.
Keep us updated with Dougal's antics. :mrgreen:

It has been said that greyhounds are a wee bit thick......so it must be the bit of deerhound in him that makes him as fly as a cartload of monkeys.

Was told by his previous owner that he'd do anything if I shook a box with dog biscuits in it. So, when he louped the wall...... I did.......but being an eejit, gave him a dog biscuit when he came back.

So from then on, he louped the wall............and waited at the gate for me to open it...and give him a biscuit.

So now...no biscuits.....and a chase along the back road! One way of keeping fit, I suppose!

Then I decided to reward him if he went out, did his business and come back into the house without going awol.

And, guess what......he is out every half hour.........and always manages to pee at the very least. In fact, he pees..comes in and gets his biscuit...then goes out, does the other thing...and comes back in for a second biscuit. I'm going through a box of Winalot one biscuit at a time at a rate of bliddy knots!

Who's winning this battle of wills, I ask myself! :huffin:

No flies on him, Oddie, and you can't even see where they've been, either.
