Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I've been on here but thought I'd say a quick hello and some updates :) Bertie is now 10 years old, he's still the same fantastic hound I got those 4 years ago. He's health has been perfect except he had a lump near he's backside which ended up being a spindle cell lump. The op went on a long time but went well, then he took a long time to recover. After all that he is completely fine. He still lives with our two jack Russell's, the jacks had 5 puppy's 2 years ago and he was the best uncle ever! You'd find him climbing in the fenced pen we bought for them and he would be having a nap with them. Bertie still has he's fear of men, but he is getting better- he now begs for cuddles off of my dad- who'd have thought it? Anyway, I hope your all well, regards Cassie and Bertie x

Welcome back Cassie, I think it must be 2 years since I saw you and your Mum in the car park at Ockendon and even longer since I saw Bertie, I used to enjoy reading about his antics with his then 'new' friend and your doggie culinary skills.
Sadly Fizz and Molly are no longer with us, I now have Lily who, like them lives in a multi breed household and all the fun that entails.
Maybe see you at one of the shows during the coming show season

Welcome back! I'm sure Pat and team would love to see you both at any of the events we're at that you can make it to. Sean is now 11 and like Bertie has had one major op to sort out discs in his neck which were causing him much pain.

Oh pat I am sad to hear of Molly and baby you gave them both such a happy life though Lily sounds lovely! How long have you had her for? Quite a bit happened in my life over the last two years so much so that I nearly joined the armed forces but this didn't happen. Have been a very busy girl Mark I'd love to come to one of the meets, when and where are the next ones? Bertie loved going to those, although I'm not sure how long he would be able to stand around now adays! How is Sean now? Wow 11! That's a fab age! I was so lucky with Bertie as alphavets saved him when I wasn't in work-we knew Bertie had a lump but where I was made redundant I couldn't afford treatment (my last bit of savings paid for tests in case it was cancer). And one morning we woke up to find it had tripled in sized and burst (he wasn't in and pain it was just messy) so alphavets said to bring him in and they saved him- ill never be able to say thankyou enough to them. In fact I was really sad to hear that they had closed!

Hi Cassie, the next events are at the end of this month. Incase you didn't know I now live in Devon so you won't see me unless you turn out to the Stifford Show this year, I'll be back for that one. You can see what's coming up on this page of the website: www.greyhoundhomer.co.uk/whatson.htm. As you may have also read on the forum Pat is out of action at the moment having broken a leg, but Mary, Bob, and other are stepping in and ensuring it's business as usual.

Oh brilliant Sarah! Yes that would be fabulous! Canvey is doing well with greyhounds- there's a good five or six more greyhounds on the island now so it's nice to go walking here At the moment I'm only sticking to walks on canvey as very busy. I divide my time between staying at home (working mainly) then wed-fri I go to see my boyfriend (whos based down south) so I won't be able to go out anywhere until April as he is away on tour for 8 months so I'm trying to get as much time with him as possible. But once he is away Id love to go out and meet up for walks as will need to do lots to keep my mind occupied! I'm just goin to post a few pics for you all! I hope pat is getting better and would love everyone to send my best wishes please
