Well, here's our motley crew:-
Firstly, Bonny (our daughter's dog) who is a Staffie/Collie cross and was rescued from a dog's home where she spent the first 6 years of her life as she had severe behaviour problems after being regularly beaten as a pup. We have had her now for about 6 years and she is a real character. A sedate old lady who is rather deaf (except when being called for food, of course) and a bit arthritic.
Next there is Tilly, a lurcher. I'm afraid she was near the back of the queue when brains were handed out (I wouldn't say that she was two sandwiches short of a picnic, but .... you know). She is delightfully calm, but will insist on nudging elbows to get attention - never have a mug of tea near your laptop when Tilly is around!
Then there is Scamp, our 6 year old Jack Russell. She now only goes out on the lead as we are fed up with driving miles to bring her home. I walk her between 1 and 3 miles every day, come rain or shine, and we let her out occasionally to go ratting in the barns if we get any rodent issues. I have yet to see a rat that she cannot dispatch within seconds!
Finally, Scamp's two puppies, Hattie (on the left) and Chet. We kept these from the five that she had in April last year, so they are about 18 months old now. Very naughty and not very obedient - typical Jack Russells!!
Hope you like them.
