About Jake
-
Jake is a black & tan lurcher. (Huh? That's not a lurcher!)
Jake was adopted from Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home in August 2004. He now lives the life of Riley in a leafy suburb of Edinburgh. His interests include agility, running like the wind, enticing other dogs to chase him, fellow sighthounds Molly & Steve, squirrels, swans, plush swans, swans on telly, Portobello beach, the Edinburgh hills, sofas, & snoozing.
Jake wears Earth Dog hemp collars. His collar tag (compliant with KC agility regs) is from the excellent Indigo Collar Tags.

King of the (sand) castle
Or perhaps that should read “dirty rascal.” We found the remains of what must have been a fantastic sand castle. I wish I had the patience… here are some instructions which we will never get round to following.

Fit as a butcher’s dog
