Appeee Burfday Mindeeeeeee frum Roar-ee (Ere iz mee lukin manleee afta me wurk owt)

I loved Roar as soon as I saw him. I went to the dog home to walk him every day for a month. Then we moved into our first house and he was able to come home with us. Here he is enjoying his first afternoon in the garden.. He has had lots of fun, including meeting the Lord Mayor, appearing on News 24 and coming second in RSPCA Dog of the Year 2004 heat (beaten by a 3 legged Sheltie). Roar-ee was happy to be contacted by his half brother Kevin and arranged an 'emowshunul reyewnion'. Here they are... Occasionally Roar-ee does drawings and auctions them for charity. Aside from writing his memoirs, Roar-ee is pretty chilled out these days and mostly relaxes in his bed. Despite his reoocuring corns, he does enjoy his walks and having a jog around a field every so often. Happy 5th Gotcha Day my chattery chopped mr man. (He does chatter alot. Lisa says he should be called Ramphant Rory)

ooh fanks everyone I didn't realise my birthday was on the calendar here. This is the first ever birthday in my whole life that I have had to go to work *sulky sulky*. Having spent my life as either a student or a teacher, I have always been on summer hols, apart from this year... I'm not sure why they changed em. Good news is I checked next years calendar and I will be off again Tis Roar-ee's 5th gotcha day today.

Um yep.

Oh thank god for that. (I'm really bored)

Tis a very nice house (We share a house anniversary. I bought my first ever house on 14th August 2003)

Yeah I've always had one. I just tweezer it off - doesn't bother me

Thanks. I'm afraid I can't remember about the photos. I guess I'd have put them all into the photobucket at once. It was ages ago now so I can't remember much about it. There should be a draft saved. If you think is ok then feel free to publish it or do stuff to it. If not, well prob best to forget it now as I can't remember much of it - sorry.

I half blogged his snowboarding trip in March. I think I saved it as a draft but didn't finish it cos it kept going wonky and I wanted to chuck the pc out of the window.

Hi again. I've had a look and like thousands of greyhounds, they share lots of relations, such as Bright Lad, Skipping Chick, Linda's Champion and Sandman. There are no parents of grandparents shared though. I'm surprised to be honest because they really do look the same. Milly's photos don't do the similarities justice actually. They look the same when they are sleeping and yes they do have the same big ears We know Milly wants something when her ears appear from down the side of the settee The bit not shown too well in the photos is nose/ between the eyes - not sure how to describe it really....

Hope it gets better as soon as poss Kathy. I don't have torn ligaments. I just have sprained ones. Six weeks on and I'm still wearing a bandage. I'm bored not being able to exercise, so I imagine you must be really bored not even able to walk about very well

Hello Brian Milly says that Brian looks remarkably like her and she would like to know if they are related. Does Brian have tattoos please? Milly does

I do. Just hadn't thought it worth mentioning. Does yours deliberatly pull pervy faces to make you laugh (and move)?

Ah ok. Was worried it might be erm chuff or summat

Ta. Will give it a go (honest). Threading what? I'm not sure I want to look

Have just had an email about it from Greyt Exploitations, thanking everyone for emailing etc. It also said that, although the coverage still went out, the program was greatly reduced and rather than a live debate taking place, ITV chose to televise a pre-recorded interview. For those of you who were unable to view the news item, please click here http://www.itvlocal .com/london/ news/?player= LON_News_ 15&void=218231 Disappointingly, welfare was not covered but we can draw strength from the fact that and our voices in speaking for the greyhounds will have been heard loud and clear throughout the corridors of ITV. Yet again, the influential media will now be more aware of the public’s concern and outrage that the greyhound racing industry still receives promotion, whilst welfare issues are not aired, thus presenting a totally inaccurate view to uninformed public. BBC also ran a small article of the ‘Save Our Stow’ campaign http://news. bbc.co.uk/ 1/hi/england/ 7536255.stm Unlike the ITV article, this gives a more optimistic view on the stadiums reprieve, so it is vitally important to continue to support the current appeals that are aimed at the new developers and politicians.

They look really nice Laura

I would like it all lasered off (funny how I was just typing exactly the same thing in the DP lounge ) I have legs waxed but hate the weeks inbetween when I have to wait for it to grow long enough. I get ingrown hairs that take ages to grow properly and I therefore spend weeks like a wooly mammoth, unable to wear most of my clothes. Am currently on holiday and spent afternoons on sofa watching reruns of desperate housewives whilst using tweezers to prolong my most recent waxing. Armpits are shaved. Pants parts, well erm shaving is prickly and orrid, removal creams are evil and used to give me a rash anyway, I am too chicken to wax there in case it really hurts (bottled out last week again). I want it all lazered offfffffff noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!! How much does a bikini wax really hurt?

I'm kind of pleased that I didn't notice this thread until now (else I'd have spent the last 5 days of my holiday glued to the pc). Most people here already know my thoughts about greyhound racing. In brief, having spent 5 years thinking this over, I'm still not convinced it is possible to have a greyhound racing industry without abuse of the greyhounds (commodities) upon which the activity relies. By the way, there is an URGENT greyhound welfare topic here (don't want everyone to miss it)
