Shaggy dog story

[bunn]

Kaya the Oldies Club foster lurcher has landed.  She is supposedly 14 years old* and needs a new home because her owners have toddlers. So far she has behaved impeccably with both cats and dogs and seems like a very nice dog (if somewhat in need of a trim).   Mollydog, however, is terribly miffed, and is throwing a serious sulk.  


    

* I'm slightly dubious about the age: if her owner hadn't sworn it was right, I'd have guessed 10-11ish - which is in fact what it says in her vaccination card as well.

Lurchers are like pies. Pies can be many different sizes, flavours and consistencies, and can be eaten either as a savory or a pudding. People have their own flavours and preferred approaches to making them. But they are all pies.

Kaya is probably rather an authentic lurcher, if you believe the story that lurchers were designed to circumvent Norman Forest law, by hiding a sleek greyhound-like hunting physique under a shaggy collie coat.

But sometimes pies are tarts and sometimes pies are flans and sometimes pies are just confuseling. Like dogs...

Oh! That reminds me! Have you done "War and Pies"?
