Retired Greyhound Parade

[Peter Parka]

We took our dog down to Walthamstow for a parade of retired greyhounds tonight. We even got to meet Miss Walthamstow who to be honest didn't say a lot for the state of girls down there! Anyway, here's a few photos of tonight

sweet pics Peter!! did your dog run in the races??

 

[Peter Parka]

Nah, she's retired now, she did run about 8 races down there last year but retired because she kept baulking. We even bumped into her owner from her racing days down there! She was a lot hotter than Miss Walthamstow!

Hey Peter I heard those dogs are great house pets, Are they easy to maintain?

 

[Peter Parka]

Perfect pets mate, very good natured

 

[NicAuf]

Hmmm I've been thinking about getting a dog when I graduate from college in 4 yr (yeah I plan ahead lol). I want a good natured loyal dog. I was thinking a Great Dane. Idk though.

 

[Peter Parka]

Haha! Depends how much money, time, space and energy you've got. Great Danes require a lot of those!

 

[NicAuf]

Well looks like they're out of the question, so greyhounds: price, time, space???

 

[SilentEyz]

Well any dog raised right can fit those qualifications really..

Lab's are good though.. or Ughh.. I lost the name.. ill be back.. *goes to think*

Greyhounds - I buy a big bag of complete food for about £10 ($20) about once every 6 weeks, she needs 2 20 minute walks a day and most of the rest of the time shes happy sleeping in her bed. Retired greyhounds take their retirement very seriously!

 

[NicAuf]

How much do they cost to get one?

 

[Peter Parka]

The're free if you get them from a retired greyhound kennel, they even give you a collar and lead for them.

 

[NicAuf]

Damn good deal
