Introducing Ms Leela

[HoodedRat]

May I introduce the divine Ms Leela; pictured here snoozing on the sofa midst a pile of fleecy blankets.

I collected her from her previous owner today. She is a beautiful little 4 month old white & fawn Whippet puppy who needed rehoming.

Dreams can come true.

The image was broken, but congrats on the new girl in your life.

I suppose you won't have time for us anymore.....

A Whippet eh? We'll make a Yorkshireman of you yet.

The pic's disappeared, but I'm sure she's real cute.

 

[HoodedRat]

Hmmm ... maybe I've managed to fix the pic now?

 

[rareboy]

Yes.

She is quite a fine looking girl.

Hopefully she didn't need re-homing because she ate her previous owner's couch.

Whippets aren't too common around here. I suspect a vast majority of Canadians even know what they are. I know only because a friend of mine from long ago (he emigrated from Nottingham) had 2 of them.

She's a cutie.

I have to admit, though, when I saw your name and guessing from the title that you had a new pet, I was pretty much expecting to see pictures of a rat when I opened this thread.

I love the name. What a cutie.

She looks very sleepy. Knowing Whippets, I can only assume she'd had a busy day of running around knocking your lamps over. What a sweet little face!

I love Whippets---and Italian Greyhounds---they r so amazing and beautiful --it seems like your doggie may have won the doggie lottery and found a great home. Post more pics--

I'm sure you named your new companion for this~

lol, do HoodedRat own rats ?

 

[HoodedRat]

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I gave up keeping rats after having dozens over many years. They are so intelligent and clever, but their lives are short; I get very upset when they die.

My canary Izrafel (Izzie) died last year and since then I have had no pets. Life sure seems empty and dull at times without at least some other being living here.

Here is the tale of Izzie for anyone who may be interested. It was back in the days when I made very lengthy posts.

Meanwhile, Leela is settling in fine.

Puppy!! I want one. :/

 

[pat grimshaw]

Is Leela named after Turanga Leela?

 

[sixthson]

How about a little update on Ms. Leela, Hoody?

 

[HoodedRat]

No update ... the whole fucked-up episode is in the past and I no longer share anything personal here. Suffice to say no more pets for me.

^ I named my sister's dog 'Zoidberg'

I love Zoyburg; he's a slave to his appetites—
