Hello all,

Its been too long so thought I would pop a post in here wishing all at GRF a great 2015.

Its a year past May since I took on sisters poppy (lochy) & pippa(shuna)..and we dont regret it for a second. Lots of walks and plenty of snoozing with feet in the air..its definately a dogs life! They love a car trip just dont feed them first!...they love the vets too..even though lochy enjoys peeing on their door matt without exception. Visits for minor feet injuries, glass in foot and a broken dew claw. Shunas the clumsy one.

We will drop in when this rain stops.
HAVE A GREAT 2015
Simon

Thanks very much for the update, they were a favourite with the kennel helpers and it's great to hear they're so settled. Sounds like there's never a dull moment anyway!

Hi Simon, Lochy and Shuna.
It is great to hear that you are getting on well.
Big cuddles to Lochy and Shuna ( sorry Simon ! ) from your Auntie Celia and Uncle Jimmy.
You are welcome at our kennels any time at all.
Very best wishes.
Celia, Jimmy and the gang.

I'm still recovering after the day I spent with Lochy and Shuna. Little scamps they were!

They're looking great now and we'll settled in their home

Hi Simon
A few days before you adopted the girls I went to the annual greyhound event with my Son and Daughter. We didn't have a dog at that time so asked if we could be of any help. Quick as a flash we were handed Poppy and Pippa ( I swear I heard a laugh as the leads were handed across).

I can still see my 6 foot Son being dragged off at great speed. I entered both dogs in the 'beautiful face' competition, confident they would win but they each showed their bottoms at the Judge so they didn't even get placed. One then drank the 'pluck a duck' stall dry whilst the other pinched cocktail sausages off a toddler in a pushchair. (I haven't been near a pluck a duck stall since, I can still see all those ducks running aground)

We decided to split them up so, I went one way and my daughter went the other. I could see where she was though as her dog was sniffing people in very personal places. I could see even elderly people jumping really high. Everyone loved them though and we all hoped a good home together would be found soon

When we got home that night we were all exhausted. My husband suggested maybe we could get two dogs and me, my son and daughter shouted 'NO.....OOOO...OOO!!!!'

We had a great day really and still laugh about it.We also ended up with two of our own the following August - one being the bad boy of the kennel MacLeod.
So, I've got a soft spot for Lochy and Shuna, they were the first to really show me what fun greyhound were. I'm pleased they're doing so well
