just cannot imagine being without a dog!

I am currently looking after my dad who has various health issues paticularly since mum had to go into care last November with Dementia. We had a rescue greyhound but unfortunately she had to be put down on January I miss her loads and at present it is just not practical for us to have another dog.

We do have racing pigeons though so still have some contact with living creatures.


My lovely late Gizzy

What a pretty dog was your Gizzy. I've heard those rescue greyhounds make the best pets. Kudos to all you folks who are the rescuers. Giz was lucky to have you as her person.

Now, I don't know anything about racing pigeons and would love for you to tell me about yours.

I shall keep you and your mum and dad in my prayers.

Gizzy is so beautiful. Know you miss him. Was he a Gizmo? Was he a retired racer? I understand they make wonderful pets.

I have a Pigeon story that will be told here eventually. How many do you have? are they kept outdoors?

On our VERY long walk today(I went with John from Pix and his now two dogs) Oliver found something gross to roll in. Some animal poopie.. yuk. all over his face, neck, collar, back, sides & legs. Bath was first order of day on returning. Boy did the van permeate with his "frangrance"...
