EE nagging me again about not making calls or sending texts. I wish they'd shut up! I might ring Talk Talk, I have an idea I qualify for a free sim card....... Later....
Jack and I were walking up Butts, him off the lead of course as usual and we met three men with a terrier on a lead and a big black Lurcher running loose. You've guessed it, the Lurcher went straight for Jack, grabbed his back and shook him like a rat, it knew it's job. Jack bolted and after I had told the bastards exactly what I thought about them and set off after Jack hoping he would head straight for home. I was right, Brian was out with his dog, saw him, knew something was wrong and shut him in the back yard. I got him inside, gave him a sausage which he ate immediately and I examined him. Judge my relief when I found no wounds, when the Lurcher picked him up it must have been by his harness. He's lay quiet behind me and I think we have been lucky.
I rang 101 and got through straight away. I told the lady I knew they couldn't send the 7the Cavalry but they need to know these buggers are about after game. She said she'll alert a patrol car to have a poke round Brogden and Bracewell.
I have had a whisky.......
Just had a play with Jack and his ball to see how he's moving. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. We have been very lucky. What saved him was his harness and I have taken note. When he was nearly killed he hadn't got it on, I shall always leave it on in future even in the morning when we are near home....
