August Update
Welcome to our update for August where you can find out what we have been up to during the month.
Wow, where did the summer go! It doesn’t seem five minutes ago we were looking at the events list for the year and thinking what have we committed to (are we mad?) and here we are, in September with only four summer events to go! We will be at the Orsett Show on the 7th, the Wickford Town Carnival on the 14th, the Fobbing Family Festival and Dog Show on the 15th and the Weald Country Show at the end of the month. Hope to see you at one of the events and as always if you can spare some time to help out manning the stall or showing off your hound and chatting to people about Greyhounds, more help is always appreciated.
With autumn nearly upon us it may be time to start thinking about winter coats. We will have a selection of Greyhound apparel on our stand at the above events including some exclusive knitted dog coats. If you bring your hound along we can ensure a snug fit.
During August we attended several events as well as a couple of meet and greets at Tesco Laindon and Pets at Home Chingford. We were at the Greyhound Walks Show which is one of our favourite shows of the year. It is fantastic to see a field full of re-homed greyhounds and it’s a great chance to catch up with some of the dogs we have homed. We attended the Essex Dog Day in Hatfield Peverel on one of the hottest days of the year. Despite the heat the show was well attended and we managed to keep reasonably cool. We were also at the Paglesham Show for the first time this year and we hope it will not be the last. It is a charming old fashioned country show and the only event I can remember that served tea in a china cup and saucer. It’s a great day out if you are looking for something to do next year.
It has been another good month for re-homing with six dogs going home including some of our dogs who have been overlooked for some time. The lovely Dream our longest resident girl went home at the end of the month along with Lane one of our longest resident boys. It’s so nice to see some of our long termers finally find their homes. We wish all the hounds homed this month Bale, Toby, Benny, Mandy, Lane and Dream many happy years with their new owners.
Hopefully we will have another good month in September as Scott and Blue have already gone home and we have another two dogs reserved due to go home shortly.
