‘sup?
This morning.
Via Dogs Trust:
Canine Carers at Dogs Trust Ireland were shocked to find a wooden skewer protruding from the side of a dog who was brought into their Munster Rehoming Facility.
Gracie came into the charity’s care after being found straying by a Local Authority dog warden. The two-year-old Lurcher was so hungry that she had resorted to eating whatever she could find to survive, including rubbish.
After being examined by a vet upon arrival, she was found to be underweight, had pressure sores and skin issues but otherwise appeared in good health. The dog was not microchipped so there was no way to contact her previous owner and establish why she was found alone, wandering and searching for food.

Orchestrated journalism for the sheep to lap up
There’s a lot going on in this post. Just find the owner of the lurcher and I’ll pay them a visit. I’ve a wooden skewer I’d like to introduce them to.

I have a nice pack of bamboo skewers that need a good home.
The poor old dog
I would love to get hold of the owner of that dog as well an utter coward
Unfortunately, Dinkum, the people who are most fond of lurchers are nomadic in their proclivities. A close friend did a 6 month volunteer stint in Dogs Trust & brought home many such stories but also the delightful Jack Russel X Papillon who’s currently barking out the bedroom window at people who have the temerity to walk other dogs down our road. She’s been named in honour of a very deep-voiced female soul-singer.

Bodger, can your explain why the Twitter link is shoehorned in at the end of a post about animals? Thanks.
Cats are animals too.
What a glib, mealy-mouthed excuse.
I agree with what Ian posted, before it was deleted.
(Incidentally, why was it deleted?)
Is this fake real or what
The tanks look pretty rusty for a few weeks exposed to the elements
As well as that with all that traffic going around the crime scene it will be impossible to examine the site which now is contaminated beyond real
I just wonder about DNA and vital evidence to point out which are the culprits
Looks real to me
The war has been going on for over a month now, with steady attrition of tanks the whole time.
It’s not a crime scene.
Offhand I’d say the culprit was a Ukrainian with an anti-tank weapon.
I saw one of those anti-tank weapons in action, being shot from the 2nd or 3rd floor of a residential building at a Russian tank trundling down the road. The result was not impressive. The tank continued to trundle, with a fire the size of a large candle, slowing sputtering out on the side of it’s turret. Unless fired at the tank tracks, which I’ve seen a Russian drone doing, they have little impact on a full battle-tank. The idea that hand-held weapons can do what we see in that pic to a tank is still in the realms of science fiction.
That’s a light tank that was likely hit by an artillery shell, probably an incendiary round. The paint has been burned off & rust starts up pretty rapidly on bare metal tank surfaces in the damp Ukrainian climate.
rust is what happens when metal burns, ie. oxidization. you will notice the front that wasnt in the blast radius is still very rust free
Normally, Dinkum, when War Crimes are alleged, the UN goes in there immediately. It’s treated as a crime scene & they usually arrive within a couple of days. The fact that there hasn’t been a single UN team sent to any of the alleged scenes in this war makes it hard not to assume that these are ”War Crimes” for the consumption of the bovine MSM audience in the West.
Gracie is a beauty.
And mellow too I’d say given all the second-hand puff she inhales off her owner.
Marvellous™
not a sub comment Johnny, ;)
I do like your dog, beautiful :)
thank you Janet,she’s a great companion on my 3 miles runs,ok ok strolls:)
as an aside one her ‘jobs’ is protect the chickens,their waste helps hinder hemp plants getting ‘hot’.
(nitrogen stops or slows THC growtth,helping keep it below 3%)
One the farms is close to a hawk colony,so one morning not long after getting transferred from NY,on the driveway was a chickens head.The hawks swoop down and decapitate the chicken,then swoop back in, spit out the chicks head and grab the body….or headless chicken.
i lived quite a colorful life,but first time i ever had a chickens head on my doorstep….
So now Gracie take’s care the chickens and hawks.
I’m glad you amended the run statement or we might have had to get into one of our ” punch ups ” ;)
Dogs are the best.
As I mentioned before, I have a fascination with livestock guardian dogs. In short they are reared with a herd of goats or sheep in areas where there is a lot of predators, and they become part of the herd.
Here is some examples of how the herds trust them. Animals prone to predators tend to be on alert all the time so the first is a billy goat telling the dog of a possible threat. The second is where a female dog sits guarding a goat mother giving birth, because they are very vulnerable during that. The third is where the dog baby sits the kids while the mothers go off to do their own thing.

One owner was quoted as saying that in four years they have not lost one goat or sheep, which given the amount of predators in some of those places, is quite an achievement. Amazing stuff.
Great vids, SOQ. Dogs’ social skills are so highly-developed, their pack mentality so strong, that if humans make it known to a dog that another animal, even one that would normally be prey for a wolf, is part of The Pack, they will accept them as such & extend their protection to those animals. This parallels human development, in the same way that their social & hunting skills, in a group, have made wolves the world’s most successful predator, our social skills are what turned a three-foot tall hominid into the overlords of this planet.
I admire your concern for animals, while at the same time you couldn’t care less about people been murdered in Ukraine.
Moron.
Tut tut, the truth hurts and the dogs of war will be found wanting.
Anatolian Shepherd is a great dog according to a couple of colleagues that had them, so long as they have space and a purpose seemed to be the consensus.
I prefer the company of dogs to strangers at this point, and would rather sit feeding strays than making small talk in a pub, it was not always this way.
Must check out what they cost, if they are available here…
Why not talk with stray dogs in the pub?
