49th Northampton

Will and Mack
First up was the Cubs. They are 'uman puppies and there was loads of 'em; I ain't seen as many nippers in one place ever, but they was all really well be'aved an' dead nice to us; some wanted to take us 'ome!
Dad 'ad a chat wiv 'em like, then they all came an' said 'ello. One or two seemed a bit unsure to start wiv, but a bit o' charm - mainly from your's T, Jack and Rosie I 'ave to say - an' they was sorted.

Troy with some of the Cubs
When the 'uman grown-ups came to get their puppies I 'eard one lady tell dad she'd bin to Peterborough greyhound stadium the night before. Not sure what she fought dad'd say, but I don't reckon' it's what he did say though; 'course he told 'er about 'ow many 'ounds die each year just to keep the industry runnin' (bad joke - sorry); maybe she'll 'ave a fink before goin' again.
Next up was the Scouts. There weren't so many of them, but they was all dead keen to meet us. Dad did 'is spiel again and then it was time for a bit more schmoozin'.

Rosie Schmoozing
All the Cubs an' Scouts was dead generous an' 'ad one of our BeastBadges, and we gave 'em a pack of bumf from the RGT (thanks to Alison for sortin' those) and Pet Blood Bank. One of the girl Scouts wanted an' extra one 'coz 'er friend's finkin' about gettin' a dog; yer never know, they might just get a greyhound.

Rosie Schmoozing - again
I reckon' the kids enjoyed it - 'ope so. We did, an' all of us'd like to thank the 49th Northampton Cubs and Scouts for the chance to come an' say 'ello an' 'ave a chat, an' for bein' really nice to us. And to say thank you for bein' dead generous, 'coz wot wiv the BeastBadges and a nice donation we got anuvver £52.75 to give to rescues - which is just brilliant.
Tell yer wot though, nippers are exhaustin', an' when we got got 'ome we 'ad some tea then crashed out, Rosie baggin' the sofa - nuffink new there then.

What? No Scouts?
