I've just got a DVD of Betty. I've not watched it yet as the rest of the family will want to watch it too. It's quite exciting to see her in her former life. Nicky

I only emailed Paul yesterday, he came straight back to say he had 6 or 7 pics of Patrick. Sent me some samples, I chose one (couldn't afford them all!) and paid by paypal and got the picture this evening on a download. Printed it out on glossy paper at home and all ready for Patrick's Valentines present to his new daddy. (Yea say it, I am totally stupid!!!!!!!!!!)

He is good Bertiesmum/Particksparents. We got some lovely photos from him of our late Ruthie, as she ran a load of races there, and how lucky is this? Our Jet only ever ran there once, and we managed to get one single picture of her just crossing the finishing line.
Also on Greyhound data website you ought to check out the video section, as you might be able to find a video of your dog racing. Unfortunately there was none of Ruthie, despite all those she ran, but you never know your luck.

This is Thanks Patsy (Patrick) at Crayford - one of Paul Duffett's pictures. This is Patrick in his new life.

Oh how fantastic are those pictures!!! Thankyu for posting them, I emailed every track bert raved at asking if they had any pictures of him....(he was an open racer at lots of tracks) so I guess I've got to wait and see!!l ;D

Pat, we could not be more delighted with him after the tragic loss of our other beautiful grey.
Some people might say to get another one so quickly was in indecent haste but it worked for us and it did mean Patrick had his forever home just a bit sooner too and I've not heard him complaining once ;-)

There are always great girls and boys wanting a good home.

what fantastic picture of Patrick. We've watched the DVD of Betty racing and its wonderful to see how she ran. It's hard to believe she is the same dog. Nicky

Thank you - we think he is a very handsome chap and he is certainly adjusting very quickly to home life. It's been interesting to hear the way other friends with greyhounds suddenly discover their dogs are related to him. We've got a whole new family ;-) Good luck with getting your photos, bertiesmum
