  SAM COMES DOWN TO EARTH

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No it's Super Sam!!

Safely down

What can we say about the Nicholas family - mother Donna Veterinary Nurse Supreme - Stephen who last year sacrificied two years of hair growth and was publically shawn just for us, and now, not to be outdone by her brother, Sam jumps out of a plane for us!!!!! mad the lot of them.

After a false start two weeks ago the weather was perfect for Sam's jump and a load of our owners and pooches met up at the Gunsite to cheer her on.

Just some of the greyhounds and sighthounds arriving

Unfortunately there was an hours delay but that was fine as it gave our owners a chance to catch up and discuss greyhound tactics!

Donna and Nicola get to the bottom of things!

An aerial view!!!

Eventually we could hear the plane coming over and a speck appeared in the sky and there was our Sam floating down to earth - mum Donna had smoked a packet of ciggies by this time and had the offer of a vodka been around no doubt she would have drunk the bottle.

Safely down Sam gives anxious mum a big hug

Dusk falls on a fantastic evening

SUCH A BIG THANK-YOU TO SAM FOR GIVING US SUCH AN ENTERTAINING EVENING AND FOR RAISING FUNDS FOR US.

RIGHT DONNA YOUR TURN NEXT!!

Just like to add that Alison couldn't be with us as she was on the mainland collecting a little old stray whippet x who, due to total neglect, is suffering from terminal cancer. This little girl will at least spend what time she has left cared for and comfortable. To fetch this little mite was not a difficult decision to make but there will be a lot of sadness. You can't rescue them all but we hope that we do help in our own small way. Well done Al.

Here is 'Foxy'.
