Moosley Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hey I am going to 'The Greyhound Gala' at Towcester Racecourse tomorro (6th) with my mum and Bella dog and meeting up with a friend nd her loony, Bonnie Dog. The problem is, there is no real information AT ALL on the net! Or anywhere, the website tells us when and where it is and that is all, nothing more... Was wondering if anyone else knows anything about it or whats going on there, i guess stalls but what else? Its an awful long way to go and i dont know whats going to be there! Im not feeling particularly well and the though of the doggie potentially hurling up in the car or down my neck is making me feel worse! haha... though she drools more than sicks up now...

Moosley Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Liz Brown didn't much like Bella. It was obvious the poor dog was really nervous and she didnt want to walk straight because mummy was on the other side of the ring! Bella got two 6th places, one 5th place and one 4th place (best rescue, best rescue, best visitor, prettiest bitch and best brace) she did the brace with her friend Bonnie. EVERYONE around the ring was muttering and said Bella deserved prettiest bitch at least because she was, the one that won was cute but... not pretty, a black greyhound that swiped the board in the greyhound classes as well as any classes that lurchers could enter. Owner was lovely but not really fair, it won everything lol. Bella hated it, shes been out quite few times but she clamped her tail between her legs and looked sad whenever the judge came near, i've never seen Bella dislike anyone! That said!! Annette Crosby (sp) cuddled Bella and said she was the pretiest dog she had seen! Even i got a pat on the shoulder LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
