A New 3D VR Video From fixed1t Using My

JVC Everio Dual Lens 3D GS0TD1-17

A local meadow has had travellers horses in it,  staked to a long rope.  Yesterday they were gone, so we decided to let our Lurchers run. This is side-by-side 3D Google Cardboard

3D SBS My Dog Skippy In The Dog House

This video is about 3D SBS My Dog Skippy In The Dog House

After creating mayhem I had to muzzle skippy whilst I got on with the job at hand of putting out the recycling and trash.  But despite the muzzle he manage some cunning stealing and eating,  But he couldn't dispose of the evidence.  Its in 3D because that was the camera to hand when I was laughing at his cunning and skills.

My Flying Greyhound Lurchers

Having purchased my first 2nd user digital SLR and Nikon 5100 I decided I'd give it a go shooting Bree and Skippy running at full pelt around a Norfolk Beach.

Lurchers are fast, very fast, and both our rescue dogs are Lurchers and are a cross between Saluki and Greyhound.  They are sleek and swift.

Lurchers like Greyhounds are on of the few dogs that spends more time flying through the air, with all feet off the ground when running, than with its feet on the ground.  They are so fast that they are even able to achieve this feat on wet sandy beeches as you can see in the picture below.

I'm really thankful that the Nikon 5100 was fast enough to capture this even with the 55-200 lens.  Do any of you notice something different about Skippy in the background?  If you have already seen Skippy please don't comment as I'm interested in viewers perceptions of what they think they see to what they can actually see.

Flying Lurchers All Feet Are Off The Sand

I also made a video on my iPhone as they were flying around the beach chasing each other.

Three Legged Greyhound Lurcher Racing On A Walcott Beach

We took Skippy and Bree to Norfolk UK with us for a run on the Walcott beach, as you can see they absolutely loved it, and despite having 3 legs Skippy was not deterred in chasing down Bree.  It's amazing how quick he goes and that losing the back leg has had little effect on his agility and speed.  #fixed1tRESCUEdogs

Three Legged Lurcher Skippy Gaining Weight And Muscle Nicely

I think I'd forgotten how thin and weak Skippy was when he first came to us as Prince.

He'd been in foster care for over 6 months with a pack of larger Greyhounds and although he'd been well cared for he wasn't getting enough exercise and stimulation for him to grow.

Its been quite a struggle to find the right combination of food for him that will not upset his stomach and bowels but will allow him to put on weight.  Here is a picture of him shortly after we invited him into our home:

Now his ribs are barely visible and he seems to have grown into his boney face.

As for his relationship with Bree they are inseparable:

Perhaps his rippling front legs and shoulders that's doing it ;-)

And such a great little runner:

Disabled Hound Skippy Racing 4 Legged Bree

We took our 3 legged rescue dog 'Skippy' on a local rescue hound Play Group exercise walk with Bree and lots of other Greyhounds, Lurchers and Wippets. One of the owners has a Paddock so before the walk we let Bree and Skippy in to go mad, they are so good together and so fast. To think if he hadn't have been rescued they'd have put him down down to his awful injuries, but he's a very lucky and happy dog.

Bree Recovering Well

Bree is recovering well from her collision with the corner of our paving stone step near the garage, the hole, op and the stitches.  Skippy our tripod rescue Lurcher with his missing back leg and she are forever chasing each other around and wrestling ( it's a greyhound, saluki and lurcher thing). They also like necking each other and tripping each other up by grabbing each other's legs. Unfortunately the speed they can move and maneouvor at, means it can result in injury if they get caught at the wrong time i.e. Going up steps.

When they aren't chasing around sounding like an attacking ferocious dogs but not leaving a mark, they spend their time wrapping themselves around each other and us.  In fact their play fighting reminds me of the Saturday Wrestling Matches that used to be on UK TV on Saturdays when I was a kid, all play acting bluster and aggression with the winner decided in advance ;-)

latest antics

No sooner have I posted this video but he's been at it again. What gets me is his cunning, tonight I was about the let our other rescue dog Bree out for last night ablutions, when he barged past, so I let him out, being new we've had the occasional accident. He came back quickly and I took Bree out, she is more lady like and takes her time to select a spot. When I brought Bree in I heard a rustling, and found he'd pushed aside a heavy trolley to get to a counter and stole a packet of Quaver chips of a high shelf, torn the packet open and was eating them. If I didn't know better I'd say he planned it ;-) or am I anthropomorphising things LOL #fixed1tRESCUEdogs

My Recue Dog Skippy And The Mysterious Back Pack Raid

This video is about My Recue Dog Skippy And The Mysterious Back Pack Raid

Skippy is a LURCHER a Greyhound/Saluki Cross around 11 months old, he was mistreated and thrown out of a moving vehicle and hit by a car. This resulted in his Left Back Leg being amputated.  We met him on his first ever walk and decided to take him home for a trial.  We love him and he likes sparing and racing with our other 3 year old rescue lurcher Bree.  He is into everything, but as I discovered you can't leave him near even hidden food for a second.

He is sweet and really cheeky as you'll see.

Newly Adopted Rescue Hound Having A Celebration Of His Own

Its official, we've adopted another rescue dog I've called Skippy, he was formally known as Prince, but as he has 3 legs and bounces along happily like Skippy The Kangaroo I've renamed him. So just like the mischievous Skippy, you won't believe how he chose to celebrate the event LOL

Even Inspector Jacques Clouseau Could Solve My Dog Bree's Latest Crime

Whilst I was out watching and videoing Debbies participation in the Rock Chorus Choir charity concert, Bree decided to do some sniffing around for food and treats. This is a common condition for Rescue Dogs, but she not too good at hiding the evidence of her antics.  But we love her anyway.
