She's shy. She has registered, but doesn't want to introduce herself. But you may well find a new little rookie by the name of Cloudy Days posting on here in the near future, and before you marvel at yet another pairing of Bonnie the lurcher and Piper the grey: she's my daughter. The very one who works as a kennel maid odd days, and who badgered us into taking on one of her retired charges (and who, no doubt, will badger us into taking on some more next time the opportunity arises).

In case you're wondering, that's not her given name, by the way - Cloudy Day was her favourite greyhound at work, retired some time ago.
