Swifter than a running deer...

[bunn]

This morning we found a deer when out walking. My immediate reaction was to grab Az and get him on-lead, and fortunately I managed to do that before he worked out what was going on.

Mollydog saw the deer first and took off after it like a speeding bullet, but there was no help for that, I was busy with Az. Az safely on lead, I turned to look for Mollydog, only to see her *overtake* the deer, do a big victory circuit round the field and come racing back to tell me how she WON THE RACE. Who said racing greyhounds only run because they want to catch things...?

I had to give her a round of applause when she arrived back in front of me (she loves applause) she looked so pleased with herself.

Oh wow, I'm ferreting that link away for future reference. Always hankered after an Ibizan but never imagined I'd have one since I didn't think I'd find one in rescue ever.
