Teddy missing, originally uploaded by Nicki Feltham.

Please bring my boy home safely to me. My heart is in shreds and I cannot sleep or eat and I am worried about my baby (I am 25 weeks pregnant).
If you live in the Southampton area please print this off and put it up in as many places as possible. Local parks, vets, stray pounds - where ever you can think of. And please all pray that he is safe and will be found....

I think I'm going to like it here!!!

Hello, at least the old boy lets me get a word in now and then! When I moved to my new address I also had a name change, I'd always been called Precious ( the name was changed, some thing about Gollam!!!). I hadn't been quite as lucky as Mozart, I was rescued from a local gypsy camp I,m now three years old and not sure if I have had two or three litters of pups. What I do know is that I will always walk with a limp either from damaged caused by a very bad cut I had to my right hind leg or having been shot with an air rifle in the same leg. That is all in the past now, I hope that one day I'll be of the lead, but at the moment when the mood takes me I do a runner, and there is no stopping me. Pearl

I arrived at my new home in March 2006, I'd not had a bad life, my previous owner went into hospital. I was passed from pillar to post and ended up at the RSPCA. Nobody wanted me because I am just a little on the old side ( I'm 12 now, but going on 2, if you know what I mean). It was decided that I could do with a little bit of company so March this year along came Pearl, but I had better let her speak for herself.

Lurcher Aggie - old dog dreams (blog crop), originally uploaded by k2hsharpe.

Aggie is a 7 year old Irish Wolf Hound / Scottish Deer Hound cross. She is the gentlest dog I have ever lived with. From day one I have tried to get her to bite the grandkids - just a little nip to keep them in line. Aggie has always refused.
Bugger!

My boys name is Sunny and I got him from a local rescue kennel in Bucks after he was picked up from the streets of Wales. All skin and bone and scars when I first got him but now he's blossomed.

We found Lucy wandering lost on a cold January morning she was in a poor condition and very footsore, but even then she stole our hearts. After making sure no one was looking for her we adopted her and we haven’t looked back, she is the most wonderful companion and converted us to loving Lurchers!

Boo - Driving the caravan. None of our animals have ever been allowed on the furniture. So, how come Lurchers have a cunning knack of getting away with murder?

Chilli. Two and a Half Years Old. I am so glad I re-homed a Lurcher. Nothing comes close to this gentle, graceful, elegant type of dog. Lurchers for Life now.

The relationship between hound and human, especially with children as they are such gentle natured dogs, is really something special.

Big jump, originally uploaded by Nicki Feltham.

Lurchers are such athletes, and as well as being able to run at 30+ mph they can jump a fair height too! Teddy loves nothing more than to chase his ball along the beach and leap the breakwaters then cool off in the sea.
