Ski bore ... train bore ... dog bore
OK ... I'm going to try and avoid transmogrifying into a dog bore ... but Gypsy, who I introduced you to last weekend, has certainly made an impact on us!
She's mostly greyhound, but not fully. We think the rest is Staffordshire Bull Terrier. She's blind in one eye, she has lead pellets embedded in her from a previous life of which we only have a vague history, she's very fast, very strong, a bit gangling and unaware of her own strength ("clumsy") ... and utterly loving and our dog. Into everything, obedient but easily distracted. I know you'll be reading more about her here in the future ... hopefully not to the "dog bore" extent!
