I would rescue an ex-racing greyhound (or two).

My daughter has a part-time job looking after racing greyhounds and she is a qualified dog-handler. She helps to 'home' retired racing greyhounds and assures me they make the most wonderful pets.

Whatever happened to Grant Mitchell's greyhound, Freda?

Frieda went to live with Nigel Bates in Edinburgh. Found this on the Eastenders website for you smurfy.

Nigel is now a surgeon working at Holby Hospital!

And he seemed like such a bozo - obviously he had hidden depths!

I would love to have either a little hedgehog or a little squirrel.

I couldn't agree more. My friend has 3 greyhounds all from Greyhound Rescue Scotland and they are just the most amazing pets to have. Some greyhounds are a bit problematic at first due to being badly treated or to the fact that some have never even seen stairs of a washing machine before, but with perseverence and a lot of love they give the same back in abundance. If I had a little more time in my life my house would be filled with these beautiful animals. Oldspice, I take my hat off to your daughter.

I read a book recently (chick-lit I'm afraid) that was partly about rehousing racing greyhounds and I learnt a lot about them that I never knew. For instance you must never feed them off the floor - you have to stand their bowl on something.

Indeed. Also many people don't realise that they don't really sit down. Their bodies just aren't the right shape for sitting, their little bums don't reach the ground!

That's right, and contrary to what people believe the are quite lazy dogs too. They like nothing more that to lie around and being pampered.
