Epping
Town Show - Sun 16th
Sept
Due to the fine
autumn weather we
had a busy event.
It was lovely to
see so many of the
greyhounds we have
homed come and visit
the stall. Barley
was on her best behaviour
as always and we were
advised we should
have entered her into
the dog show (maybe
next time).Barley
in is the picture
with a couple of her
new friends that
visited the stall
and gave her a lovely
cuddle.
Service
to the Community Project
- Fri 14th Sept Here
is the photo taken
this morning at the
kennels.15 tonnes
of sand were
laid in the paddocks
at our kennels by
Engineers from British
Gas as part of their
Service to the Community
project, for which
we and the greyhounds
were very thankful
!
Greyhounds make the ideal pet ... and you'll feel proud to own one.
