WHO SAID
BLACK WASN'T BEAUTIFUL !!!
We are always thrilled to
home a dog but moreso when he or she is
black. Previously on our site we have
brought your attention to the fact that
black is the most unpopular colour in
greyhounds and therefore the hardest to
home. These dogs are referred to as 'bin
liners' - easily disposed of.
We always find that when
they arrive often their coats are dull
with a brown tinge to them and their skin
sometimes flaky but with the loving care
in their new home these dogs become
sleak, shiny and beautiful and take a lot
of beating.
Fagin
Anyway after three false
starts due to bad weather our two latest
'black beauties' are Shadow now to be
called Fagin, as James and Klaire had
heard that greyhounds tend to be thieves
so lets see if 'he picks a pocket or
two'!! And Rosie who will also probably
have a name change but Jane and Andy and
the boys haven't all agreed on one yet.
Fagin travelled all the way down from
Northumberland RGT to join Rosie for a
sleep over at Hall Green RGT. The sleep
over turned into a weeks holiday but
apparently he was very popular with them
all at the kennels.
Rosie
So after a bit of a wait
Rosie now joins her new mum and dad Jane
and Andy and her two two legged brothers
Jack and Tristan, not forgetting Spike
the Huskie cross now in his mature years
and quite looking forward to a 'toy girl'
to keep him young.
Fagin, well he has a lot
of girl power to look forward to,
together with mum and dad Klaire and
James, he will now have three sisters,
Sadie, Scarlet and Sancia not forgetting
George the posh Persian cat.
Good luck to both
families and it goes without saying many
thanks to Nigel for yet another pick up,
for Dave at Northumberland RGT for
finding us Fagin (aka Shadow) to Pat Chan
at Hall Green for choosing Rosie to join
us all in Jersey and for giving Fagin a
roof over his head for the last week, and
to Chris our pilot who despite being
given a big love by Dotty last week which
resulted in a scratch on the lip still
agrees to fly us back and forward to
collect these dogs.
So we welcome all our
January homings that's Rufus in Guernsey,
and Rocky, Blue, Fagin and Rosie all in
Jersey this is a really good start to
2009 - no more cold kennels and sore feet
for these guys!!!
