A big thanks to everyone involved in todays chase. We had a fantastic time seeing these lovely dogs in action, and what a wonderful spread there was for us. Hot home made soup and stovies:)
Cara, Bryn and Fala had a good time as well, I hope to post some pix, but I'm completely rubbish at it, so it may take some time:dry:

I heard from Sue that everything had gone pretty much according to plan; I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it. I hear Ricky's soup and Sue's stovies were a bit special, as well.

I was spitting tacks at missing all the fun, but my car threw a completely unexpected wobbly, so I bit the bullet and stayed home. When your hydraulics and ABS warning lights come on and stay on, you've got to believe them; don't mess about with a car full of dogs and potentially dodgy brakes on icy roads. The dogs were all in the car, along with the backpack with the coursing collars and sandwiches and clipboard, the coursing cards and the hilarious comedy desert camouflage wellies. I'd also spent twenty minutes scraping ice off the windows (it was pretty damn cold last night in sunny East Lothian, I can tell you) so I wasn't best pleased. On the plus side, I did get the kennel beds changed and updated the Deerhound Club judges list files, but I would much rather have been up at Rumbling Bridge. The best laid plans of mice and Sids gang aft agley. Sigh...

I'm rubbish at posting pix on this forum, but if you want to look at The Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary forum you can see some there in 'Dog Talk'
I'll keep trying to get them on here.

I joined to say thank you very much to Sue for a wonderful day it was great fun despite the cold

and for letting my two have a race

looking forward to the next one
