Gold Coast Show Success

Hi Hound-loving friends,

Our Friends of the Hound promotional stand at the Gold Coast Show last weekend was a great success. Loads of people visited our stand over the 3 days, & were quite taken with the dogs - who all did an amazing job of promoting Greyhounds as pets. Our new 'Rescue Donations' coats that the dogs wore were immensely successful (thanks again Kay, & well done Merlin, Sammy, Gypsy, Rocket, Emmy, Wally, Coco, Zada, Molly, Mel & of course, our 2 little ring-ins - Phoebe & Jasper, who were amazing drawcards for their big doggy-friends' cause. I think Jasper - who unexpectedly was in his element, & strutted his small stuff superbly, probably earnt at least $500 or more in donations on his own!)

Huge thanks to Kayleigh & Jon for a marvellous job in organising & setting up our stand & manning it over the 3 days & many thanks to those who also volunteered their time to help out.... Babette, Susan, Kay & Peter. Well done!
