Guess what i got for my birthday?!

A dog!

He's a racing greyhound (i know loads of people don't approve but don't worry, no matter what happens he has a home for life with me!) he's called Robert's Dancer, which is what is so clever. I lost my dad 5 years ago next month, he was called Robert and really into his horse and Dog racing, and had a favourite horse called Exotic Dancer. It is the most amazingly thoughtful present ever.

He's a beautiful boy who's not raced yet known as Robbie, and I'll get some photos up in the week.
I know some people don't like racing on here, but as i said he isn't just a racing object, he will race for as long as he enjoys it, and then he'll come and live with me for life

How lovely, sounds like fate that you should be together.

Why wouldn't anyone approve?

I hope you'll be happy together, I was due to get an ex racer but thought against it as Louie isn't good around thin shinned dogs

Good luck with him and don't forget pictures!!

its the dumping the dog when they have finished racing that i hate. as long as hes happy and has a home for life thats all that matters.

good luck with him xxxx

And where are the pics!?!?!!

Emma has promised them for later in the week.

Look forward to seeing them Emma and good luck with your new lad

What a wonderfully thoughtful gift.

Brilliant

laptops a bit dodgy so here on my BB atm! But will get photos up in the week hopefully

Sweeps still my no1 man though

People who disapprove of dog racing wouldn't have a problem with it if everybody who owned a racer gave them a loving home as a family pet after their racing days, which you are!

Sounds like a lovely gift i'll look forward to seeing the photos
