Go Johnny Go!

Johnny G

So more congratumalations due today then.  This time to the beautiful, the waggy, the gorgeous, the downright bloody dogtastic Johnny Gatillo, kennelmate (that’s all they’ve got in common, believe me) of our useless but lubly Doofus the Wonderdog, who was voted Irish Sprinter of the Year at Sunday’s National Greyhound Awards.   The boys are huge fans and badger the hell out of the lovely M (lookin’ good in that tux, mate!) every time they visit the kennels until he lets them have a cuddle with their own little furry superstar.  Pork chops all round.

    Still think the Koreans would be interested in your ‘doofas’ !

    Whilst on the subject of dogs, do you think you can become a ‘Dogaholic’ ?

    I ask this because as a family my cous and I have shared many dogs .. from Pippa, Sam, Rosie, Murphy, and currently Gorge and Lotty… and even now myself and my wife M were strolling on the beach at Carmel (clint Eastwoods home), we were both obsessed with dogs, from small yappity types, to two HUGE Bull Mastiffs .. all wonderful, ALL have to be petted, and fussed ….watching them dive in the sea, wolf hound chasing a whippet … hours of fun .. even one dog who kept shouting out a name .. making my wife react… sit, still, wait, come here ….. (same name as M see).. very funny, I tried it on her later, got a big slap !

    My Name is Moon, and I am addicted to Dogs .. there .. said it !!!

    Moon: Thanks for sharing that with the group. Jeez, get a dog already!!! Little Doofus looks likely to be on the move shortly. There’s a lovely lad that a few of us know whose dog died recently. M suggested that we maybe give Doofus to him (his Dad’s a trainer) which will give Doofus a chance to keep racing at some level (he’s dead eager, if a little er… useless) and have lots of company too. Sounds good to me, and checked with J who’s also in agreement. As for me, I’m saving for my very own Johnny Gatillo!! x

    J: And rather nice he looked too! Did you see Greyhound View? I think it’s repeated on TG4 tomorrow morning at 10.30??? Mrs M looked stunning in a long bronze number too. WOW!
