Labour day - 26 October 2009 - was quite busy :-)
First, we took the hounds for a walk at Scotts Ferry beach. Fantastic weather, great turnout but lots of random people, fishermen, fishing lines, cars and other dogs on the beach so not much chance to free run the hounds... we still had fun, as you can see from the pictures below...(i took some of them, and stole some from Sonja's Facebook page!)
Below: Gail with her Zoe, and foster girl Nelly (Clan Mary Lou)
Below: Bob with Pricey (Our Price)
Below: Malcolm (Work Release), Isabella (Shoot The Bacon), Wilby (Ancient Rhythm)
Below: Irene with Roache (Awesome Enforcer) and Stevie (No Spoken Word)
Below: Robyn with Issie and Wilby
After the walk, we went to races at Manuwatu race track, and took the hounds with us:-)
Below: Snowy (Blemish) watching the races :-)
Below: Louie (Charlston State) checking out the lure :-)

And finally, me with Louie and Wilby :

Lynda Sharp did a great job of organizing the GAP stand at the "50+ Lifestyle Expo" in Auckland (October 2009), and also was so kind to send me some great photos she took. (Thanks Lynda!)
The public were so interested and very keen, and apparently the GAP stand looked just amazing! (check out the potato sacks!!). Louie and me are so sorry we could not be there!
Above: Penny (Charlston Zoom, Louie's litter sister! )
Our amazing GAP owners did a great job during the 3 day event: Lynda with Ivan and Pauli, Lance and Sharon with Rosie, Jonathan and Dallas with Frank, Mojca and Uros with Oscar and Rosie, Helen with her perfectly matching hounds Cruzer and Enzo, Heather and Sinead with Brodie, Christine with Maddox, Michelle with Barney (I apologize if I left anyone out)..Special mention I think has to go to our ‘senior’ GAP owners: Oriel (with Penny), Jean (with Bella) and Mary (with Teddy) - these ladies were amazing , rattled buckets and spoke non-stop!
Lots of people said they were impressed with how quiet and relaxed the hounds were, and how well behaved they were. Some said they'd never seen a 'real' greyhound before, only the racing on the TV.
It was a great opportunity to show of our gorgeous hounds, and no doubt it will result in some adoption applications!

Today's feature story: Monty (Waitak Thunder) and Megan from Auckland. Monty has been raised by the lovely Henny Laagland from Ngatea, and had a successful racing career before becoming a pet.
Monty says:
Hey guys – Monty here, or as my new mum calls me “The Mon-Star”. I’ve got myself a home in Auckland with my new mate RD ( an English Pointer cross - check out our pictures!) and I think I’m going to be pretty happy there. Mum does have some strange rules though. She doesn’t like it when I eat my bone on her bed and bury what’s left under her pillow for later. I know -I can’t understand it myself! Humans are strange. She growls a bit too… and I used to run and hide on her bed, but now I’ve worked out she’s not growling at me - she’s telling RD off… he’s the naughty one! Other than that, Mum’s pretty good to me. I have plenty of room to run and get to go “Supersonic” almost every day… Thanks to everyone at GAP for looking after me so well when I needed it and for finding me a home. Catch you at the group runs! Monstar
Tonto, Tui and family

Robyn kindly invited all the Gappers for a run in her paddock in Otaki - we had 20-ish doggies there and they had a hell of a run (which, predictably, lasted for 5 minutes :-))) Sorry for the lack of action pics - by the time i got my camera out the gallop was pretty much over!
Thw weather was lovely and the dogs just loved it!
Maxi The Taxi did not feel like participating in the group picture - he wanted his own one :-) :
Robyn with Jazz (Homebush Squirt), Louie (Charlston State) and Jazz's owners:
One of the few action shots:
