Last Day of the Holidays
posted by Chris at 19:20
Last day of the holidays, so it was over to Salcey Forest to let the Beasts have a good run. Mind you, Monty and Troy had had their mad in the garden earlier on; Troy was really up for it today, having had a session with Kai and Jack earlier on. Over at Salcey it was heaving. The car parks were full up, and cars all along the road. We parked on the road - I was going to anyway as chances were we'd be back after they locked the car park gate anyway (we were - in fact we got stopped by a warden to make sure we were OK, which we were).
As we set off it became apparent that the majority of the people did not have dogs, but small children; must have been the family day out before back to the grindstone tomorrow. Anyway, sprogs (that's small children) meet four dogs and express wonder that there are so many in one place at one time; sprogs want to stroke dogs; parents look concerned; dogs couldn't care less.
So we spent about half an hour going a few yards at a time before being stopped by the next family. Of course people asked if they raced, so they got my views on Greyhound racing (you can take an educated guess at what they are I'm sure - not a fan). So perhaps today we have put a bit of doubt in some peoples minds about the racing industry, and perhaps we made a childs day. I hope so.
