Introducing Skittle
We met him in Oct 2012 while at a fundraising lurcher event as a 7 month puppy, he was such a happy puppy it was easy to fall for him but with pepper needing all my attention and care it was impossible to take on another dog, we were lucky enough to spend 24 hrs with him in our home before he went off to his new home.
Then In May 2013 we lost pepper, by June I was looking about to see what lurchers were available and I spotted skittle back in rescue, I made enquieries and by July we were fostering with the idea of adopting if all went well. It took just 3 weeks to discover that he wasnt going anywhere else, he remained despite bouncing twice back to rescue purely because the adopters did not understand what skittle was about or what he was very clearly telling them or asking of them, a very happy and accepting lad, just a bit bigger than I remembered as a puppy and a bit louder.
So a few shots from recent days to show his absolute zest and love of life, a great honor for the original nutty lurcher pepper, the next generation on, he has taken up the challenge to follow on her blog

update April 2015
An update, five years on
I lost pepper in May 2013, he age was finally what took her from me. She refused to grow old gracefully and continued in her mantra of managing it disgracefully, she kept us on our toes every day and I loved every precious minute of it, we miss her every day.
Some photos of her last few years with us, she raced till she was 14, she did agility till she was 14, she shared her home with three foster dogs then guinea pigs and lots and lots of walks or events with friends.
