Pat's Homing Gallery

Following on from Catherine Kirkby who dedicated her "spare" time to homing hounds for two and a half years, Pat Whipps joined GIN as its homing officer in January 2004.

Pat has put together, from photos and news she has received, this "homing gallery" of both Galgos from quarantine and Greyhounds from the UK who have been homed by GIN. It is by no means comprehensive but will be added to as more photos and information become available.

So, if your dog is not represented here when he/she should be, please accept our apologies and send us a photo and a little note about them so we can add them to the gallery. If you have changed the name of your dog please remind us when sending photos of the original name to jog our ageing memories.

Out with a greyhound friend This is me with my little people That’s me on the right – I decided Susie could share with me.
HARRY (was Risco) and SALLY (was Paula) –were very lucky to find a wonderful home with Annie in Northamptonshire. Both are getting on well and overcoming lots of nerves.

Jessa is a real credit to the memory of dear Janet.

INCA – Else and John in Warwickshire say that she is the “perfect dog” and is very popular with everyone around. She has really taken to the cosy comfort of the sofa and all the attention she gets. She is definitely “bi-lingual”, responding to both English and Spanish! CARPINA – has settled in very well with Linda and Stan in Hertfordshire. In quarantine she was very timid but within 3 days “at home” she was beginning to gain confidence and this continues to improve. She is proving to be the “ideal” dog. HUGO (now called Ozzy) – has fitted in so well with Louise, Brian, Lola the lurcher pup and the cats in Feltham. Louise and Brian say they cold not have asked for a better dog.

BESSIE (was lady Dawn) and TILLY – when Woody from Worthing visited Kildara with his mum, Martine, it was love at first sight when he met Bessie so he took her home with him where it just got better and better.

MOLLY AND FINN - Alison is the proud owner of Molly, golden girl, who is little Miss Flirt around males but is otherwise very ladylike.  Finn, blue boy, is very sociable but is a small dog's nightmare.  He would probably list some of his hobbies as stealing shoes and killing cushions.  They are both very affectionate and love to greet visitors, after all they may be bringing food. MACARENA - went to live with Angie and Mark in Sheffield in September 2002. She loves camping holidays in the Peak District and each Christmas goes to Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire.

I look pretty good for 11 – don’t I? This is me on the “Boxing Day Walk” Just sharing with my good friend
GOMEZ – is delighting Marion in St. Albans, who takes him to classes to help him become the perfect gentleman. He learns very fast.

TRISI (Galgo) – shares a wonderful home and garden with Suzie in Catford. She starts running at the back fence, over the decking, down the board walk, picking up speed as it slopes down, down the side of the house, up the steps, through the French windows in the bedroom, into the hall, across the living room into her bed!

This came to be when little Harry (Lurcher) turned up and the two are now inseparable LURCHY – took up permanent residency with Arthur and Anne at Egham in Surrey after leaving Nottingham Quarantine in October 2003. Arthur is Lurchy’s very best friend and is seldom seen anywhere without him. IONY (Now called Tiffany) (Galgo) – was taken into kennels when her previous owner became ill.

ROSIE and CHARLIE (Rojas and Veras) – are important in the life of Carolyn in Gwent. In their first night in the kitchen they opened a plastic cake box and devoured the freshly made coffee cake. After that they took over the two settees. Charlie is mischievous and a clown, whilst Rosie is gentle and loving. These two special doggie personalities are a blessing to their owners.

CLOVER – joined Sky in Staines with Graham Charity and his family. She will never be bored or lonely in this household where there is always something going on.

 

CALL THE JUDGE (NOW CALLED CHARLIE) – the complete opposite to the lovely ladylike Lois, Charlie is boisterous, a messy eater/drinker and quite “ungreyhoundlike” say Mike and Angela from King’s Somborne, Hampshire, but he is very much loved.

What is this life if full of care, we have no time to stop and stare.

I knew they would come back for me! I love a swim on a hot day!
