Last evening several of our supporters gave a presentation to a ladies club in Bovingdon on the topic......
"40 mph Couch Potatoes"
We took along our new Castledon display stand, along with 7 humans and the stars (and best visual aids) of the evening..........in alphabetical order........
Ben, Duke, Lacey, Lilly, Tink, Trinity and Vidia.
Each lovely hound was impeccably behaved of course! ;D
We talked for about 40 minutes on the history of the Greyhound, greyhounds in racing and what happens after racing, focussing on how greyhounds make the most wonderful pets and promoting rehoming, in particular the Castledon way.
Then we had a Q & A session and the "audience" had a chance to meet and fuss the hounds on a one to one basis.
A greyt time was had by all. We received many wonderful comments from the ladies present, but the one that kept coming up time and time again was........
"I had no idea they are so docile and gentle" ;D ;D ;D
A resounding success all round, and we intend to continue offering this talk to other groups, in return for a donation to Castledon.
Not only does it promote the breed as pets, but it explains the rehoming process and also brings in some much needed funds as well.
Thank you so much to the hounds and humans that came along - you are all stars!
If you know anyone who would be interested in having this talk, please let me know.
(I think someone may have had a camera there as well.......
