It was this beautiful scene, below, of Serena galloping over snowy ground on a card sent by John and Judith at my old temporary home - the Retired Greyhound Trust's Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary.
They also told us about a couple of events coming up in December - an annual Christmas gift fayre on December 4 and 5 at the sanctuary (which is just outside Newark in Nottinghamshire) and the annual Boxing Day walk!
They are also encouraging people to give a Christmas gift with a difference and sponsor one of their long term resident greyhounds who for various reasons have not found a forever home with a family but will stay at Crossing Cottage for as long as they need to.
Sponsoring a greyhound costs £24 a year, or £2 a month. You can also sponsor a kennel for £60 a year or £5 a month, Visit the website to find our more. It sounds a great idea to me. I'm so thankful I found a forever home at the third attempt and I'd love it if people could gift a greyhound sponsorship for some of my old friends.

No Thanksgiving here in Canada either. Just another work day. But with the holidays on the way, it doesn't seem so bad. A Boxing Day Walk sounds like a blast! It's nice of you to remember your old friends from your former home. :-)
IT IS SO GOOD THAT PEOPLE RESCUE RETIRED GREYHOUNDS, THEY WERE GETTING SUCH A RAW DEAL.
WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU GOT YOUR FOREVER HOME WINNIE.
DO TRY TO STAY WARM IT IS VERY COLD HERE SO NO DOUBT YOU WILL GET THE SNOW.
You recieved one nice Christmas Card. Uncle loves his two rescued greyhounds.

That Christmas card is beautiful! I think your idea is a great one. They do the same thing at the adoption kennel I was adopted from, too!
