A Note From The Editor… A note from the editor. Or rather, an apology from the editor! In the last issue the cheesy dog biscuits should have stated 1 oz of cheese, not 10 oz! Apologies to anyone who had a sticky, cheesy mess to clean up. Mind you, I’m sure your dogs would have helped in the clean up! The homing of the greyhounds continues to go extremely well. It’s always lovely to see the dogs going off to their new homes but it’s especially rewarding to see when they have been with us for quite a while. So, waving Chevy goodbye was a very special moment. He had been with us for about 18 months so obviously it was quite emotional to see him go! Harry was another dog that had been with us for a while. For some unknown reason he was always over-looked. I’m really pleased to say that he has now gone off to his new home along with his new greyhound girlfriend, Sandy. On a sad note, our golden oldie Tiger died shortly after being homed. He’d only ever known kennel life but at least he discovered a few home comforts and love with his new owner.
The walk at Bacton Woods was a huge success and it was lovely to see so many friends, old and new, with their dogs. A bonus of the walk is that we are able to take out some of the kennel dogs. I’m sure that they really appreciate getting out and about and seeing new places, faces and dogs! One such dog was Meaty (now known as Pete). I received the following email from Chloe’s owner Mike: Hi Lynda Thanks to you all for such a lovely time, it was wonderful to see so many rescued greyhounds enjoying a get together.We never thought we would become so involved.Their characters seem to encourage us coming into their world. Our names are Michael & Yvonne and we adopted Chloe in November 2008. She was 5 on April 1st. We were standing in a crowd of greyhounds when Chloe noticed Pete (Meaty) who was with Sue some 30 to 40yds away standing on their own. Chloe decided she wanted to meet him and just pulled on her lead till I allowed her to walk over to him, they just acted like two long lost friends. They stayed close throughout the walk, sometimes so close Chloe was leaning on Meaty, incredible! Thanks again, see you soon.
Thank you Jean for looking after him during his last weeks.
Mick & Yvonne
