Doofus the Wonderdog

Well, we are the collective family of cats that got the cream this morning. Our little greyhound lad, affectionately known as Doofus, won his first race last night and bloody hell it was SO exciting I nearly popped. He came in a good length and a half in front and we yelled and shouted and made total arses of ourselves. Then I did that really embarrassing thing of standing in the queue for the tote (yes, I bet on him too!) telling everyone that he was our dog and asking if they saw him win. But I don’t care, because he’s a WINNER, yippee!!

   Wah-hey Missus! Fair play to you for having faith in spite of Colins nay saying and fair play to Rufus (oops! Doofus) for having four spindly legs that work (no reflection on Berties tangled pins, honest…)
   Woo-hoo!!!!!!

   Aussie! Thanks, mate. It was absolutely cracking. He’s a little chap but he’s got a big heart Mind you, our trainer reckons they’re usually delighted with themselves when they win, but he was his usual self, oblivious to it all and flatly refusing to go back in the van as usual!!
