Kay 3,709 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 As some of you know I had my 2 greyhounds pts within 8 weeks of each other both aged 13 , I said I would not have a dog again as its so hard when you have to let go. But the home isnt a home without a dog & I have missed having the old hounds about the place , so after a lot of thought I decided I needed a dog. I have selected this little lurcher pup, she will be ready in about 4 weeks , she appears to be quite steady I think I have chosen the right one, thats what my guts telling me 8 Quote Link to post

I then bumped into the lad who has the mom & I commented on that pup , he said it was a bitch & she was the only one left out of the bitches , so I arranged to see them & she is lovely Ray , just something about her ... my gut was telling me she was the right pup, not to pushy or hanging back So that's how I came by her , next 4 weeks better go quick Quote Link to post
