Thank you to the staff and customers of Morrisons in Little Clacton for making us welcome at the store for day one our meet and greet sessions and for the generous donations totaling £91.51. Kennel dog Yunny and retired dog Troy both did sterling work promoting greyhounds for the wonderful dogs they are.

Thank you Mandy
Many thanks to Mandy one of our kind supporters who recently celebrated a special birthday In lieu of presents she asked for donations for two of her favourite charities. We were one of them and are most grateful for the donation of £195. Thanks Mandy from all at Greyhound Homer we hope you enjoyed your party.
Tombola
At a couple of our recent shows volunteer Angie has successfully run a Tombola stall which has proved popular and is a great way of raising much needed funds. If you have any items you no longer need which you think might be suitable we would be very grateful for them. If you could drop them at kennels, bring them to one of our walks or pop them to your nearest volunteer that would be much appreciated. In the first instance please ring either Avril or Sue if you need to know where your nearest Volunteer can be found. Thank you.

Ardleigh Car Boot Sale
We had lots of visitors to our stall when we did the Ardleigh car boot sale this morning. Trade really picked up when Arthur (who is now available again) and Charlie arrived. They are such friendly boys, eager to meet everybody. You would never have believed it was their first public appearance, we are so proud of them. We may have to do this sale again in the near future, it’s a great way to promote the dogs, literally thousands of people attend every week.
Thanks to add who donate using Virgin money
We can’t say this often enough – but thank you to our wonderful supporters who continue to donate generously using Virgin money.
We were especially grateful for all your kind donations over the Christmas period. Thank you all!
Alfie – Look out for Zues
It is with great sadness we have to tell you that after a short illness dear Alfie has had to be put to sleep. Alfie came back to kennels last year after 3 and a half years in a loving home when his owner became too ill to look after him. But following an appeal on here a new family came forward and took Alfie into their hearts and their home. They are understandably devastated by their loss and our thoughts are with them.
Alfie was such a loving boy who craved affection. He made friends easily and will be much missed by his family and his greyhound friend Poppy who he would chase after in the park most days.
Alfie your life may have been shorter than we all would have wished but it was a life surrounded by people who loved you very much. We take much comfort from that. Sleep tight sweetheart you will never be forgotten.
This photo sums up Alfie the cuddle monster perfectly. He couldn’t have been more loved.
