As I sit here nervously curled up on the couch, trying not
to think about the continuous explosions outside, I thought I’d tell you about
the recent greyhound gathering.
I’m not usually into these big gatherings but I was dragged
along regardless. Nottingham Racecourse certainly has a couple of things going
for it; it attracts the finest smells and tasty treats.
I don’t go in for the classes; it wouldn’t be fair on the
other hounds. I let them have their fun. Some come away with trophies for classes like ‘best
black hound’ & ‘best fancy dress.’
I’d enter but there just isn’t enough
room on the mantelpiece so while everyone’s busy, I get myself off to the treat
tent.
I’ve never tasted muffins and pasties quick like these,
fantastic. Although I did feel a little ill afterwards but it was worth it.
So if you ever get the chance next September, come along to
the Great Greyhound Gathering and we can share a muffin.
But before I go, take a closer look at what the people are trying to pin on us!
