State of a Shortlegs and pausing to listen to a violin

[bunn]

Tiny Tommy Shortlegs' leg problem turned out to be a ruptured cruciate ligament.  This has now been surgically repaired and he has an impressive array of staples. I was rather fearing that he would be a horribly difficult patient to keep still, but - fortunately given that I've been somewhat distracted this week - he has actually been very good.

Sighthounds do so love being together. Apart from my penny who was very aloof.

I know my greyhounds enjoy it when they see other hounds or lurchers. Though they seem to hate other breeds.

Pleased short legs is doing ok x

Az has always been a big one for other sighthounds. He quite likes collies too, but he usually looks down his long nose at my short-legged fosters, and he definitely disapproved of Tara Banana the boxer I fostered once. I think he was offended by her squashed-in nose. :-D Mind you, I fostered a Hancock lurcher once, and he wasn't keen on him, I think because he was mostly blind and bumped into things.

Mollydog liked all other dogs, particularly little white terriers for some mysterious reason, and they liked her, I think because she was confident but not pushy.

Poor Tommy Shortlegs - no more hurtling after balls for a while. Hope the cruciate heals well.

That story about the busking violinist is rather sad when you think about it. Shows what pressure of time people are under on a daily basis.

Well, the good news is that Shortlegs finally has a tentative home offer! Sounds really promising, but it's on Jersey, so I hope we can get the home visit organised.
