GAP Walk & Picnic

Hi Readers, after the GAP team's busy year so far, we decided that it was time for a relaxing walk and picnic at the university of Queensland at St Lucia. A greyt time was had by all (except for the guinea fowl who decided they wanted to attack us for walking around the lake!)

We need to charge our batteries as we will be manning the Greyhound Lounge at the Royal National Association's show starting next Saturday. This is our biggest promo of the year and its very tiring being adored by the public for 10 days or so. We hope to see all our Brisbane readers at the "Ekka", drop on in at the dog pavilion and say hi.

It was also a milestone birthday for Michelle today. We put a little birthday music in the RHS of this blog to celebrate.





Kylie wonders if she can smuggle Bailey home with her.

See you all at the Ekka. Bye for now Readers - Murphy. (No guinea fowl were harmed in making of this blog)

Social butterfly!

Another day, another social engagement!

Today was our March Dog Luvers walk. To prove that I am not totally greyhound centric the Dog Luvers is a walk for all breeds (although we greyhounds are well represented amongst the pack and are clearly the superior animal).

The walk was around the beautiful University of Queensland's St Lucia campus and it was a lovely day for a stroll by the lake and over the green bridge to Dutton Park. It was much cooler than yesterday and there were lots of geese, swamp hens and ducks for us to, well, admire from a distance.

We also met Fawn who is a blood donor greyhound at the University's vet science department. She was a little growly at first but quickly changed her mind and tried to stow away in one of our cars to make her escape. She was a lovely dog and she was in very good condition. Perhaps she will come into the GAP programme one day and visit the house of hound as a foster.

Many thanks to the good people at Wordsmith's cafe for accommodating us today. The food was great and the service was fast.

We got a lot of comments on our good behaviour today ( I guess they are used to uni students disgracing themselves at meal times)

See you later Readers - Murphy.
