LAST GAP PROMOTION FOR THE YEAR

We were used yet again! At least it was for a good cause. We did another Greyhound Adoption Program promotion last night. This one was at Albion Park for the races. The GRA decided to have a beach theme for the races, so we figured we would join in. We had beach towels, buckets and spades, beach balls, swim goggles and caps. The only thing that was missing was the waves and the sand. All us greys got to stand at the front entry to the grandstand in our beach theme gear and scam cuddles from passers by. Aimes and me decided that we would share a few photos of some of the greys who came along.

This is me wearing swimming goggles.

Banjo was very worried about where his Mum had got to.

This is Curly and his money shot. Curly was good at looking after our raffle money.

Gracie also wore goggles.

Iris was making a big deal at practicing the hula as she walked around. Shake those hips babe!

Kirsty and Gracie talked up a storm with a soon to be greyhound owner!

This is handsome Sharky. The grey muzzle always makes a man look distinguished.

Iris is good a smooching with her Mum.

This is D. She has shacked up with our friend Jack. They are like keys on a piano, D is a stunning white grey, Jack is a handsome black.

SLAVE LABOUR

Mum was in a rush to get ready on Saturday morning, and when she picked up only one lead, I knew something was up. She bundled me into the car in a hurry locked up the house, hopped in the car, and started to drive off. I'm thinking "Wheres Blaze? This is a bit of ok, one on one time with Mum. Not often this happens". Mum parks the car and makes me walk down to a gate that I vaguely remember from last year. We walk up to the GAP stand and it dawn on me, "Oh no, Ekka. Sticky fingers and kids grabbing ears and tails."

This is the GAP stand - Very swish, retro and cool.

Well it ended up a bit of ok. I was allowed to lie on the GAP couch, and it was Mum who forced me to get up on it. How cool. Now I have the right to get on the couch when ever I want, hehehe. And the pillow for my head was a nice touch Mum, good to know that you are looking after me. Do I look Smug or what!

I hung out with some new greyhound friends and even managed to score myself a little human slave to look after me. Not bad, hey. Thanks Clare for looking after me so well.

The day was so tiring for us greys, its hard work getting cuddles from all those people. Banjo and Gypsy had to take a bit of a break and catch some greyhound zzzz's. Gosh its a hard life - but someone has to put their best paws forward to help GAP. Just as well all us greys are there to help out!
