Hi Folks, just to say we've just taken delivery of a VERY large amount of GAL business cards, thats after we managed to hand out 1200 in the last 3 months!! Anyways if, when walking your hound, you're constantly asked about them and where you got them, having a few GAL business cards in your pocket is REAL...

Hi Everyone, Just to say that my crew recommend basic IKEA leater sofas. At a pinch a basic leather covered easy chair is fine. ( I'm not aware that they have an advertising contract with IKEA as yat) However if they want to strech then it require 1 sofa each. Four sofa - perhaps not. C...

Just been looking at Pearly and Harry's racing histories. Does anyone know what the abbreviations under the "comment" headings mean? For example, for one of Pearly's races it is noted "hit rls2". I'm wondering if this means she hit something as she was running? Which, of course, makes my heart break...

Caught a tiny wee bit of Ant and Dec tonight and, correct me if I'm wrong, I think they were at a dog track. Felt kinda disappointed at that because, being of a certain age, I've grown up with them always being on telly and really quite like(d) them. I know who'll I'll be sending a letter to, to pr...

To pick up on something Amanda (Bluesmumanddad) said in the Fostering section re. homing 2 males together, I am also interested to know if the majority of people who have 2 dogs, have a male and a female. Are there any successful matches with 2 males or 2 females??

FAJ · FAJ

Just feeling nosey about where everyone lives? It'd be interesting to see if there's an East/West split or whether everyone is more randomly scattered aboot. I'll start: Steve, me, Pearly and Harry are in Gullane, East Lothian.

Dont you just love them!!

Okay, hands up - who has a nice garden? And, more to the point, how do you keep it that way? Steve and I are tying ourselves in knots about what to do with our back garden. It used to have a nice lawn but a combination of moss killer and Pearly running round like a daftie has turned it into an irretrievable...

Hi everyone Does anyone have a greyhound or lurcher who swims? Vegas just hates being out of his depth in water. He stands in deep water well over his chest and he'll lie down in shallow water or run around and splash in it, but I've never seen him swim except in a kinda panicky Scooby-doo way when he's ac...
