It was a pleasure and so emotional to see this wonderful occasion.

The work that GACI put into the rehoming of these beautiful Greyhounds is totally unbelievable and I would personally like to say to all of them that you are remarkable people.

The coming together of Greyhound and there new families is a memory I will treasure forever, to see the emotion and happiness in both the families and Greyhounds known that they about to start in a new and wonderful life together.

I would also like to thank everyone for looking after me when I was there and the many new friends I have now made,you are all wonderful people, thankyou from the bottom of my heart...

Just seen a photograph of Murphy (Sky) in his new home, wonderful.

Hello Lillian,
Yes, Murphy is smart alright, there are only two things I could never teach him. The first was to always walk on the same side of a tree as me when I had him on a lead and the second was the location of the winning post.
In seventy races he only won on four occassions although he was second thirteen times, nevertheless he was invariably first to the drop which is where he assumed the finishing post to be, I suppose that makes sense, I mean how many other types of racing have the winning line half way around the course. So, content in the knowledge that he had won yet again we would walk back across the in-field, me looking down at the grass and him wagging his tail, punching the air and wanting me to do a high-five with him.
He probably thought I was a little slow, particularly as he could never get me to walk around the same side of a tree.

Have a good life Murph, I'll not forget you.

Look forward to meeting you Lillian.

Hi Gina, how are you doing.
