if you are anywhere near kendal on sunday you could go and have a look at the south lakes greyhound walk. quite a sight is 60 plus beautiful dogs gliding around silently, no fuss or squabbling. vast majority are rescue dogs (is is our lovely Rosa) and some there are looking for a home. i like to watch the bemused yet impressed expressions on the faces of onlookers. if you want a new dog, please get a well-behaved, beautiful and affectionate rescued longdog. (unless you have a cat, obviously-they just don't mix well)
