WHO'S
THAT LADY
Who's that
lady indeed, not it's not the song made
famous by the Isley Brothers in the 60's
(upps revealing my age again) this is a
little black gal coming to enhance Barry
and Jenny's life after the passing of
their 15 year old Labrador Ella in
January.
Barry and
Jenny have always had the one breed and
thought it was time for a change. Having
met Ella, Ann and David Hocquard's little
black girl they decided they would give a
home to a retired racer. Well little Lady
you will have a hard act to follow as
Ella is a greyhound in a million.
We were
beginning to think little Lady would
never arrive and had we been competing in
a running event with three false starts
we would have been disqualified as the
fog has held us up all week and indeed it
was touch and go today. The fog has been
like a yo-yo all week. Was maybe even
thinking that Mal would have to stay over
meaning he would be spending the night
with a different 'old dog' but thankfully
he managed to get back by 2.
Maisie
meets mum Jenny and dad Barry for the
first time
Well little
Lady, now to be known as Maisie, is a bit
of a scruff and will need a suitable
amount of TLC to transform this little
girl into the 'Black Swan' gosh is that
another reference, this time to an award
wining movie of the year, but I am sure
it can be achieved. There really is
nothing more satisfying than to see them
a few weeks down the line looking
entirely different to when they arrived.
Jenny leads
a somewhat anxious Maisie to start her
new life
So it only
remains for us to once again thank Pat
for yet another trip down the motorway,
and Chris for making the fog disappear so
that this little gal can get a taster of
what she has been missing all these years
as a racing dog.
