Under the duvet..
Well she's scheduled to have the lump taken off next week. Vet said it looks nasty and like it's an aggressive type of skin cancer but they'll test it when it's been removed. They're going to remove a couple of lipomas which have grown on her chest at the same time. I'm hoping it's been caught early and it hasn't spread.

let me rephrase that... Fuck off
Baby sitting for son 1 today, the one with the puppies. He's still got 4 waiting to be collected tomorrow.. would you believe for fathers day! Things got hectic! bare in mind the toddler had also escaped in the chaos, and was trying to hot wire the ride on mower at the same time!
I'm just glad it didn't turn into anything worse tbh. At least dolly dog was out the front so not involved

Pepper’s now an old hand at train travel, just sprawls across the aisle giving zero fucks about people making their way down the train…

The long skinny dog does take up a fair bit of space. Despite being able to fold into any given area, the preferred position is always the one Pepper's displaying. Outstretched limbs giving the added bonus of maximum trip hazard to the old and infirm.

They do like to stretch out, but as you say the fold up quite neatly too, once witnesses 8 assorted greyhounds and lurchers folding up in to the back of a Volvo estate at West Wittering, no dramas there.

Had an 'incident' last week. My fault really; bad decision...Every Friday at the park down the road, the Greyhound Lifeline (where I adopted both Nico and Blue), have a thing - all the unadopted greyhounds and greys that have been rehomed in the local area, come down for a meet. I've never been able to go as it's Fridays at 10 but I know most of the people involved. Anyway Friday before last, I took him down there and it was excellent - ex-racer greyhounds are pretty stand offish with most breeds unless they look like them; they're not arsed about dogs which aren't skinny long legs. Blue loved it; all over-excited and immediately involved in a big bundle of other greys.
After a while, I took him to the other end of the park where there's a wide open space that Blue knows and runs in. I check it all out; no other dogs off lead, field clear etc and let him off. He did a few circuits then came back and I put the lead back on. As I was walking away, a bloke I'd noticed who had a skinny dog (not a grey, more a small lurcher - something x whippet maybe), came over for a chat and asked if Blue liked to run with other dogs. He does but only other greyhounds really. We introduced the dogs on lead and they seemed OK; sniffed about, wagging tails.
The moment we left them off the lead, the other dog attacked Blue. Just went straight for him. Obviously Blue, being a runner not a fighter, took off with the other dog chasing him, nipping at him every time he got close. Then they disappeared out of the park. I then had to engage in the most pointless sport ever - chasing greyhounds. Also had the not-at-all-humiliating pleasure of running sweatily past all the other greyhounds + owners all shouting 'they went that way'. The park's got a busy road running down one side and I was waiting for the sound of horns and an accident.
As it turned out, he ran home (about 500m) and all was good - though he must have crossed the main road twice to get back which scares the shit out of me. I haven't been back to the park since and didn't go back on the day as I was too pissed off with the other bloke. My fault too though - lovely sunny day, Blue was on his best behaviour etc etc and I made a decision too quickly - he'd already had a run and didn't need another. Live and learn I guess.

I was tbf.
Neighbours were cool though - woman across the road saw Blue go past and rather than going after him, waited so she could point out to me which direction he'd gone in. She'd also sent her husband home to get the car and a spare lead ready to give chase

What an empty carriage. I must say these photos are inspiring me to take mungo on the train. I’d just be a bit worried about him needing a pee

Pepper managed Godalming to Fort William not that long ago, she won’t wee on concrete so couldn’t go near Euston. Never seen such a big piss as when we got to Fort William!

Strikes on today means one train every two hours, standard class is mobbed, standard class ticket £50, first class £230. Buy standard, sit in first and £25 gets you a Weekend First upgrade, for a three hour ride, worth every penny…

not the only raver in the village
Our beloved Wiggle is gone. She came to us at 11 years old when she retired from her job on a shooting estate in Exmoor.
She'd never had a family before or lived in a house, never been to the beach. We didn't really know what we were taking on. But she was lovely and well behaved. Apart from her first morning here when I came downstairs and found her lying on the kitchen table wagging her tail.
She had 7 years with us but very recently her back legs started to go and yesterday she just couldn't do anything. She was well loved in the village and only once did a poo in the pub.
Sleep well Wiggleton
