Hello another Ann
Well, I was on several dog forums, and I adopted a longdog - a whippet x greyhound in this case - and then started looking at sighthound specific sites, realised I knew a few of the same people from the other forums, and shortly after this organisation started they asked me to become a staff member, and when we decided to go for charitable status I was asked if I'd become a trustee. Seeing as I am totally in tune with their aims, I was delighted to say yes

Saluki etc. |
Yes, Sight hound is the usual term for the group of dogs also known as Gazehounds. It includes Whippets, greyhounds, Salukis, Wolf and Deer hounds, Afghan hounds, Borzoi etc as well of course the breeds more specific to other countries, such as Galgo Espanol, Chart Polski, Ibizan Hound etc. In our charity's case we also include lurchers and longdogs in our remit, which are dogs having mixed parentage - in the case of lurchers it's having one sighthound parent (though we do stretch to include lurcher crosses with less than 50% sighthound, as a dog in need is a dog in need!) and in the case of longdogs both parents are sighthounds, but 2 different breeds.

I am not sure you will find too many Ford Capri enthusiasts here  but from the rest of your introduction I am sure you will find lots of other stuff to interest you on this excellent website.

Don't worry about your other post ... I'll make it go away |
Oh thank you! I was obviously having a senior moment - though if I could blame it on the pc and get away with it then that would work for me too

Seem to be, thanks, at least, we've still got the fish plus some babies, and we've still got frogs and taddies, plus a couple of tiny wee new frogs!

Good to have you here in any case. |
LOL! I reckon, myself, that Ford Capris + Supernatural = '67 Chevrolet Impala
Ok, that's only going to make any semblance of sense if you watch the TV show 'Supernatural'

A lot of the pics are already on WAB, scattered about the Gallery, but here they are all in the one place. Chris de Burgh - Picture The Lyrics |
Excellent! Thanks Mark, I'm off for a look-see shortly!

Welcome from just up the road in Chard
I'm sure you'll fit in just fine here.

Ooh, I know Chard! Spent a fair bit of time at Ferne Animal Sanctuary, not too far from there.

Oceanroc or Rachel in reality
P.S. I live in Wiltshire but was brought up near Keynsham |
I suppose being into Capris is fairly unusual, though I know several women who are into cars - but then, I guess I would! I was brought up in a garage, as my dad owned his own bodyshop/garage, and I couldn't tell you what perfume was what, but I feel right at home smelling oil and swarfega!
Yes, that makes me very odd I'm sure!
Incidentally, I may live in Somerset but was born and brought up in and around Stratton St. Margaret and Chiseldon, near Swindon, Wilts! I'm a moonraker by birth
