Being abandoned and meeting Bando

My people abandoned me for the weekend to go to a wedding. But at least they abandoned me with the kind people at Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary.

I shared a kennel with Bando, who is going to live with his new family soon. His future owner kindly took me for a walk and then set off to London to attend the same wedding as my people. Isn't that amazing? It meant that they were able to talk about greyhounds all day!

Reunion

We met up with my former kennel-mate, Flash; he is very happy with his new people. I also got to see my friend Judith again.

RGT on YouTube

My friend John, from the Midlands RGT, has made a YouTube video encouraging people to consider adopting a retired greyhound.

Great Greyhound Gathering 2008

My people are going to take me to the Great Greyhound Gathering 2008. Will I see you there?

Recycle a pet

If you don't want to adopt a retired greyhound (especially Dixie), then maybe you would like to consider adopting an unwanted chicken? The lifespan of an egg-laying battery chicken is 72 weeks, but a rescued 'ex-bat' can live for up to 10 years.

Dixie needs a home

My sister Dixie is looking for a new home - can you help?

Visit to Crossing Cottage

Paul and I went back to Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary today. I was a bit worried that he didn't want me any more and was taking me back! But we just visited to get more food for me.

It was lovely to see John and Judith again - particularly when they said that I should be given bigger dinners!

Some facts about Greyhounds

The national Retired Greyhound Trust website has some useful facts about Greyhounds. It says that the Greyhound is the only dog mentioned in the Bible and is one of the oldest breeds in existence, having been traced back thousands of years to the early cave drawings.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog! I am a retired greyhound who is looking forward to going to stay with Paul and Alison on Saturday. I have been looked after very well by the kind people at the Retired Greyhound Trust Midlands Branch and enjoyed sharing a kennel with Flash.
