Signed too.   It was nice to see you at Crufts Nettie. Hope you got to see all those greyhounds on the Greyhound Trust stand.

Thanks Maggie, it was nice to meet you too, albeit briefly, you were very busy.  It was pretty crowded on Saturday but I was able to drool over several sighthounds, I've made list of hounds I'd like to have, its very long!

I missed this as I don't usually look at this thread - but have signed now.  (I was searching for Trevor the Dalmation, Maggi!) We had a rescue greyhound and loved him to bits. He was 'lucky' in that the owners gave him to the Greyhound Trust but he had obviously been mistreated in his racing career.  He was terrified of men with hats and anyone with a stick - including fishing rods, which made walking along the canal a bit tricky. 

It was heartwarming to see him become more confident and learn to jump fences and chase rabbits (didn't catch them).  Tragically he got cancer after we'd only had him a year.

I'd ban greyhound racing but then I suppose there'd be no greyhounds.

Greyhounds make wonderful pets.

Thanks for bumping this up Llantony, I'd missed it too. Have added my paw print!
