When they called me from Askern track a couple of days ago to let me know this little chap had legged it, I was very worried…but the owners spent days and nights trying to find him…then the sightings ran out until this lunchtime…
When they rang me to say he had been spotted only a mile from the track we jumped into action. When we got nearby we feared the worst, the traffic was stopped on the A19…Little did we know that the owner of the dog had stopped all the traffic as he was heading for the road. Thanks to the wagon driver that stopped and to his owner for clambering under the lorry to retrieve said dog…We were mortified as we thought he had been run over, but he hadn’t, he had been caught, much to everyone’s relief…
He is worn out poor lad. He is very sore and battered and bruised. He has had pain relief, antibiotics and a tin of Chappie…..slowly, slowly little man…
Wait for your supper.

When we get a call from the stray kennels, it’s always a mystery as to how the dogs have ended up there.
This little girl, now called Spiggie, came off one of the usual suspects. Notorious for rehoming/retiring/giving away free to good homes and generally dumping his dogs on anyone who will take them…
They have been exposed so many times for the state of their kennels, they even made the Sunday papers on one occasion.
So now i have his attention…
Tenasywiskytrish bn 12/10/2017 raced at Belle Vue until June of this year…
So when said trainer emailed me a few weeks ago wanting to swap kennels i was speechless really as to his continuing stupidity. I don’t have the words.
He wanted to swap his hovel in Ormskirk, that isn’t worth as much as this place just so he can be nearer to the track he is now racing at, after the closure of Belle Vue..
And just to be clear, she didn’t have an envelope around her neck when she was found straying in Bradford, with the £400 bond from the Greyhound Retirement Scheme…she didn’t qualify for that either…
Welcome to Tia, Spiggie…”Not a Hovel”
SPIGGIE IS NOW FOSTERED

The calendar is here and all being well, they will be available in all shops next week (lockdown depending)
They will be available on Ebay too, i’ll let you know when.
This years theme is sponsorship. You can sponsor a dog, a horse, the donkeys, a stable or a kennel… If you spread the payments monthly it is better at this end as we know what we have coming in on a monthly basis…
We have 4 pallets of dog food on it’s way and 100 bales of haylage… The animals that are here are safe and i thank you all for that…
