Our first dog, Roxy is a Parson, we have had her nearly 3 years. She was free to good home and although only 8 months old at the time, we were her 4th home! :yippee: We soon got her a friend, Tilly, another rescue, who is an 'almost Parson' :blush: and the same age as Roxy. Then we aquired Mac, a Westie from my brother who was moving and unable to keep him. Mac will be 12 later this year. We then thought a pup would be fun! LOL Hendrix (Parson) arrived and has been a whirl :hyper: wind ever since! He took us to 4 dogs and everything was lovely, but I had always wanted a greyhound. Stag entered our lives nearly 2 years ago, an abandoned street dog, aged 3, with 'issues', which we work on daily. He is my devoted companion, :wub: my shadow! We soon added Bob, a 5 year old retired racer, :) a laid back gentleman. A few months later Becky (5) and Lucy (2) arrived, retired racer and non-chaser respectively. Finally Merlin arrived, an ex racer long since retired and looking for a new home at the age of nearly 10! :wub: Our family is complete!!! We have just not been able to say no to these beautiful dogs, but we are full up now! I fill my days (LOL) with looking after the dogs, working, family, and in my spare time I make gifts for hounds and humans! Handbag tassels, keyrings, earrings, phone charms etc, please take a look if you get chance - it all helps with the food bills! This seems like a very friendly forum, I've hovered about in the background for a while and finally got around to joining. Thank you for reading my intro! :flower: Lisa and hounds!

They greys sleep, eat, sleep, short walk, sleep and then sleep a bit more! The terriers are currently digging their way out of the garden at every opportunity! When not chasing passers by and each other!

I particularly loved the Remembrance Tassels and think they'd make a very thoughtful gift for a recently bereaved dog owner; I saw something similar in a pet store in the States and an added extra - don't know how easy it is to do here - was to put a tiny ie 1cm square photo of the dog itself into a small square of acrylic and attach it to the end of the string of beads. Your dogs are adorable. Love the way the introduction of each one is recounted with such clarity it could have hppened yesterday. Can see we will have some fun with you and yours!

Love the shot of the piggy back! Er, I might be sending in an order sometime soon for some phone charms! Edited by Linda & Fred, Mar 29 2009, 03:37 PM.

I'm pretty sure you're going to have some very amusing tales to tell us about their hi jinx (that is if you've enough time to recount them). Glad to have you aboard.
