A New 3D VR Video From fixed1t Using My

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.

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


I hope you like the pictures, please comment and I'll post some more pictures.

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.
