I might make it too - depending on whether teens allow me any sleep tonight & if I get cracking early enough to do shopping first & don't get lost on the journey.
Lupin is in my avatar & Zephyr is double her size with a face like a badger & a cheeky grinning face :) I'll be the one with long...
I'm quite happy for my 2 lurchers to catch rabbits but they only seem interested in chasing cats & cows :( (I don't dare go near sheep offlead). They were 6 feet away from a baby rabbit the other day and didn't notice it - silly twits!
I know lurchers are designed to catch for the pot but...
I find Stronghold is brilliant at getting rid of fleas but you have to be careful as it can affect Collies badly apparently. I don't find the sprays work at all.
Lupin & Zephyr have been eating a lot of greenery lately but Lupe ate some rat poison my boss left under a bookcase & forgot about( :rant: ) recently so thought she probably needed the natural vit K (had jab from vet + 2 weeks of huge vitK pills) poor little thing. However she seems fine now. :)
I used to feed my pups (up to 8ish months) 3-4 meals a day the 4th being complete puppy food which I left down so they could eat it in between meals or at night if they got hungry.
If your pup looks ok on what you are feeding I expect it's fine but the puppy foods may contain extra ingredients...
I think we must all be mental then! :) :blink:
Between my boss & my teenage sons it wouldn't surprise me if I went completely bonkers. :rant: The doglets are the only thing keeping me relatively ok atm.
Hi Keith, I'm planning on becoming even more eccentric when I finally persuade my teenage sons to leave home! :) I don't think it's mad to congratulate doglets on peeing & pooing but my neighbours probably do!
I care less & less what other people think as I get older and as long as no-one...
Your pup sounds yummy and will look forward to pics. :)
As Hellybobs says it takes time to housetrain the little blighters and I think some dry food makes them wee more than others (sure I read that somewhere) so maybe experiment a bit - Burns is supposed to be good and mine quite like it...
My Zephyr was much the same (still is on occasion and he's 11 months now) but as the others suggest call him back regularly on walks & give really nice treats + a ball or squeaky toy should encourage him to come back even when other dogs are around.
Freddie sounds very similar to Zephyr - full...
I would make my kids walk (teenagers :angry: ) but remember what it's like carrying around all that baby clobber - all the same whippets/greyhounds curl up pretty small :)
Here is another nearly a whippet (not much larger it says)

The whippet on that link was re-homed via ad in paper.
However I'm pretty sure there are some whippety types looking for homes on here www.lurcher.org in 'Homes Wanted'.
Very best wishes & hope you find a new friend soon.
I'm wondering whether it might be worth consulting another vet? You could ask the rescue if she could see theirs as it's pos she has more allergies or some other problem and not epilepsy at all. You haven't mentioned her having fits.
Perhaps a change of diet might help? Have a look on...
