Is a common question my house, from Mr G, E and Han. Mainly Mr G and E occasionally Han. For a while every time  I picked up a mobile device in our house and went to the web, the page would be open at some dog rehoming charity.  Not a bad thing to do but maybe not for me. Both Mr G and E would come up to me and say aw look at Fergus, oh Duke is lovely, Almond is a gorgeous colour. This has been going on for quite sometime about six months now. Mr G has visions of riding his mountain bike in the forest with a dog running at his wheel, E wants to explore the woods after school and play in the streams. All wonderful pictures and yes I can see the attraction.

Christmas fast approaching, christmas lists were produced by the children and posted to Father Christmas, who did his best to grant the wishes. Now Mr G, when asked what he would like for Christmas, to be truthful I sometimes run out of ideas when it comes to Mr G, I have to think about everyone else, so I always ask. Top of the list A DOG! Now I do like to try and give people what they would like for christmas, birthdays, but a dog, a dog is for life not just for christmas.

Let me introduce you to Harriet, our dog.

Harriet came to us via the Retired GreyhoundTrust. Standing at 13″ to the shoulder, a little smaller than the average greyhound, she has bright eyes, is a beautiful colour (matches the decor!). Harriet is perfect, never barks, never walks muddy paws are over the cream carpet, doesn’t need to be taken for walks in the rain. But no Harriet is not enough for the men in my life as tomorrow I am being taken to an event being hosted by the local branch of the Greyhound Trust, to find out more. Who knows I maybe won over, we will have to wait and see…..
