We are now the official proud owners of Jess an ex racing greyhound. Jess had been in foster care for a couple of months after some critical dental work to remove diseased teeth. (Racing dogs have glucose smeared onto their teeth before races apparently). We adopted her from a wonderful organisation called Friends of the Hound. I highly recommend them. They are totally professional, well organised and have the welfare of the dogs as number 1 concern.
Jess is nearly 8 and has settled in well. She was a little thin when she came to us and we have worked on fattening her up. A diet of puppy food, organic eggs and meat and tinned sardines for the last 3 weeks and she is now 1kg heavier. This is a dog who does not mind being cuddled and kissed 24/7, perfect for us and for her. A match definitely made in heaven. Isn’t she gorgeous!
Here are a couple of layouts, the first of many.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Your layouts and new dog are just stunning. When we lived in Western New York, I had friends who were involved in greyhound rescue. What a noble adventure!
What a gorgeous pup!!! And I love your layouts!
And looking at your photos...lovely. simply lovely.
You know what I think of your family rescuing an ex racer like this, I think you all deserve gold medals. Jess is absolutely gorgeous. Would love for you to do a post on how your dogs get on, is the little one the boss, or if the little one just sensed that Jess needs loving.
