How wonderful. I didn't realise you had a forum? I'm Andy, 44, i live in Ipswich with my partner and our three greyhounds. Our boy, Sonny came to us via the Ockenden kennels. He is such a loving, gentle soul. Unbelievably he spent nine months in the re-homing kennels, before coming home with us. However, he's had a great retirement since, has a large garden and woods to play in, and has two girl greyhounds, Jet and Kristin as companions: Here he is, and his two companions Jet: And Kristin:

Hi, we are Marina and Si and we belong to a magnificent black boy called Dudley ( Cagey Dougie), who's been with us for nearly a year now and he's nearly 5, and Snowy ( Matador Snow, formerly Nodrog Snow), a beautiful 4 year old white and black girl who we've had for a couple of months now. Both came from Ipswich, although I know Snowy was at Ockendon before that, so some of you may know her.

Hey Marina, great to see you on this forum - we're hoping that Snowy is as good a 'sailor' as Dudley - we're hoping to do another charity cruise in the Spring - possibly around Bishop's Storford and collecting for Ockenden. We'll keep you posted.
The Indigo Dreamers (Sue, Blue, Lou and Richard)

Hi We have really enjoyed the forum since adopting Alfie Cat twelve months ago. We kennelled Alfie for the first time for three days over Christmas and were very pleased that he took the experience in his stride. Happy New Year to all. PS We have used this smilie, as Alfie's tongue is frequently hanging out!

The photos of Storm and Apollo are great - really shows the family resemblance between Apollo and Blue - no doubt that they're half-brothers - that Honcho line is so striking....
