Ha! Delighted to see that ticket for Billy Bragg at the New Ocean Club in Cardiff. I’d just arrived in Cardiff to study medicine and also kept my ticket for years, but it’s long gone now. Fab memories. RIP Andy K #AndykershawRIP

I’m sad to hear of the death of Andy Kershaw. A voice and face of my youth, and a fellow early 80’s fan of Billy Bragg. RIP
On researching rescue greyhounds before our first adoption I came across this great advice:” if you don’t like dog hair as a condiment, maybe don’t get a greyhound” 😳

Practical, economical, and a treat. Why oh why did Mars stop making them??

Sir Jim was talking out of his a***h***, I think.
How come sight hound parents don’t big this up? Greyhounds and whippets could win competitions for keeping things- hats, antlers, spectacles, underwear, soft toys…- on their heads while you photograph them. It’s a talent to be proud of

8 years ago today we got this bundle of trouble. A reminder never to choose the naughtiest puppy in the litter
Whippet with head resting on my leg, greyhound on sofa, both looking longingly at my apple as I eat it
Every time I eat an apple, this happens. And they don’t stop glaring until I give them the core, which neither of them eats and I have to clean off the rug later 🙄
You can tell the weather by a sighthounds bowel activity. Poo outside the door, coat dry: it’s freezing. Poo outside door, coat wet, it’s raining. Poo on lawn: sunny and dry. Lawn has yellow polka dots: hasn’t rained enough lately to dilute the wee…etc

Hugely dangerous ?? What- like a nuclear reactor leak or the rise of extreme right wing politics or escalating wars in the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe ? Come on- a sense of proportion needed here. It’s time to stop greyhound racing. It’s out of date.
That’ll do, donkey- only families with kids of a certain age get that reference. My now (very adult) girls use it. Best said with a northern accent, I always think.
When we adopted our first greyhound we read some good advice online:” If you don’t like dog hair as a condiment, maybe don’t get a greyhound.” !!
I recently discovered that my greyhound and whippet drink more water if I add dog mouthwash to it- (advised by the vet because greyhound has terrible teeth) and bonus: the dog pee dead patches on the lawn are less bad too now that the pee is more dilute😁
Ouch. Big GSD I guess??( Greyhound screams of death)😢
What a surprise!
Who could have anticipated that?? Well… anyone working in a UK hospital in 2016 ( we did, but who listens to experienced doctors, huh?)🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Your pinny? I thought I was the only person who still called it a pinny🤣🤣. I’m thinking it’s high time pinnies had a fashion moment…

Hmmm….. third time this week😣
🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Another rarity. Betty at 16 weeks. “Accidental” puppy of retired racers, apparently.
Our whippet often barks but our greyhound rarely does. The only time she barks like a maniac is when the window cleaner arrives with his “squirrel on a stick” device that he uses to clean the upstairs windows 🐿️🐿️🐿️
Horribly badly informed piece from PETA. Judgemental, emotive, not accurate. Lacks important context to allow an informed decision. Not going to achieve any converts using rubbish,propaganda-style pieces like this.
“Be quiet small man” says the self appointed guardian of free speech, to a democratically elected politician publicly making a valid point. 🤦♀️🙄

Pot calls kettle “black”
I went to Waterstones to get a book. Greyhound rescue people were outside. Got our first greyhound 2 weeks later. 10 yrs on…

Whippet of very little brain wanted to sunbathe🙄🤷♀️🤦♀️
