Spot the dog!

Yesterday OH (Other half) and I decided to take Eric (my lurcher) to Cannock Chase for a walk however it was too bloody hot and we ended up having a picnic under a shady tree there after having a minor row about melting ice creams!

When we came home I logged onto Lurcher Link and saw a note on the message board saying that a muzzled white greyhound was loose in Stoke (where I live) and can anyone go and look for him? (Obviously yesterday was boiling and this poor lad was muzzled so couldn't eat since thursday when he got lost). OH and I went out at about 4.30pm drove to the other side of Stoke (not a nice part either) and went wandering around hunting in bushes for this dog. At one point I saw a large white dead animal in the lake and heart in mouth I poked it with a stick until it revealed itself to be a Pike

Giving up and getting a reply to our message from Lisa founder of Greyhound Gap we met up with them at 8.00pm after driving back home and having a quick tea and cuddle for Eric.

From 8pm til 11pm We were trampling round and driving round one of Stoke's dodgiest areas putting up posters and lurking in bushes looking for this dog. At least we found the muzzle so the poor dog can eat now so has a fighting chance.

I wonder how dodgy we must have looked three estate cars crawling through a known kerb crawling patch and lurking in bushes on a saturday night... all typical welshbridgetjones innocent behaviour that could be easily misconstrued.

Will keep you posted on the "Brat" as the elusive greyhound has been nicknamed. Why do I have to be searching for the fastest dog alive? I think I should be involved with Pug rescue at least with little legs they can't escape far so catching them must be a doddle.
