LIGHTS, CAMERA,
ACTION.

This is Cate with
Fonz and Padz last summer.
Some of you who are regular
visitors to our site might have read
about Cate Hamilton a local artist.
We are in awe of her talent and are
pleased to say that she has agreed to
design Greyhound Rescue some notelets and
Christmas cards. Cate wanted to
take some action shots so on Wednesday
12th March we all piled into the 'new
van' and met up at St. Brelade's
beach. The tide took forever to
turn and when eventually there was a bit
of beach the storms had taken away so
much sand it was all stoney and there was
no way any of the gang could have run
they would have torn their pads to bits.

Ruby & Silks fascinated
by the foam and Rio & Silks who just
love to play.
Next stop was Ouaisne, just
walking was an effort and like all
planned events something always has to go
wrong and this was no exception. We
let O.B. off first, he decided it was far
more interesting in the car park and took
off up the slipway. Of course
greyhounds, not reknowned for their
stamina, was totally exhausted by the
time he came back on to the beach and
wouldn't run at all. Next went
Fonz, he did oblige but only till he
found nice smells in the seaweed and
decided just to potter. Third time
lucky we thought - it was Malarky's
turn. Now Malarky will only run
when he has a ball, so a ball he had, bad
move, he proceeded to run off with it to
the other side of the beach and did not
return until he had lost it in the
waves. All in all it was lucky that
any photos got taken at all. The
only luck was that just as we got back
into 'the van' the heavens opened
phew!!!!!!
So while this project is
very much 'still in progress' we can't
wait to see the finished results, but in
the meantime we will share some of the
photos from our morning, we particularly
like the flying Fonz below!

Many thanks to Cate.
