Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Rosie. That sounds like a good idea. I let Jack off his lead again this morning and it was a lovely sight to see. He was so well behaved - stayed in the corner of the enclosure when I told him too and waited there unitl I'd reached the opposite corner and then when I called him, he ran hell for leather across to me. This time though, there was no 'over-run' - he ran straight to me. He didn't even venture anywhere near the open gate. It's a fantastic space for Jack to stretch his legs and do what he loves best (apart from sleeping and farting) and he really loves the exercise. The only problem is now is that just because he thinks he's impressed me for the day, he wants his Kong served on a tray with cutlery and a napkin!

Jack is a real sweetie and quite a flirt with the ladies. Joey gray faces mum : depending when you go to Kings heath park there are a few greyhounds that get walked there regularly and everyone stops and talks not least because the greys get really excited when they see each other.

Sorry Lorraine - don't know if she is good with kids or other dogs as she literally hasn't moved off her bed since she came to ours, other than for toileting outside!!! I left her for a few hours this morning and this afternoon and she was still in the same position when we got home! We will be able to tell more once she has fully recovered in a few days .

hi jack's dad i remember the first time i let ellie off the lead and i felt exaclly the same, seeing these beautiful dogs running is just amazing, when they run back towards you you think that they are going to knock you flying , but they some how whizz out of the way at the last secound, i sometimes wonder where there brakes are lol. ann and ellie-may.

My handsome boy put the biggest smile on my face today. I took him for a walk in Kings Heath park - all seemed quiet so I took him into the old grass tennis court enclosure. I made sure the exits were covered and let him off his lead for the first time. All I can say is WOW! Watching Jack run at full speed brought a huge lump to my throat and seeing him go like the clappers gave me the happiest feeling and put the biggest smile on my face since this wonderful dog came to live with me. It was quite intimidating when he came running back towards me at full speed, so much so that he ran straight past me and out into the open park. I simply called his name and he stopped dead in his tracks and allowed me to walk over and put his lead back on - what a superstar! He's going to need this new exercise regime now - I've been leaving Kongs for him during the week and he loves what I put in them so much, he's started eating the Kong as well! I think he's now developed a peanut butter addiction! I took him to training today too so he could have a catch up with some of his friends and was very well behaved. I'm so proud of my Jack and he's adored by all who meet him - even those odd 'non-dog' types. Millie thinks he's boring, Jack thinks she's a headcase but they play so well together and they really look forward to their daily meet. I can't wait to let him loose again tonight or tomorrow.
