Racing form

Thought I'd share with you today some photos of me running in the garden.

Please notice how I skilfully avoid running into both the pear tree or the rotary clothes dryer (sleeping in its winter hibernation beneath a pea-green cover) even when going at a top speed of bluuurrrrr.

It reminds me of when a neighbour's little girl came to our door soon after I arrived last year to say 'hello' to me....and, without realising what he'd said, the Man Of The House told her "Winnie can go from naughty to forty in just a few seconds".

He meant NOUGHT to forty. I've never lived it down.

Hope you got to do some running this weekend too.

Holy cat feathers! I ought to have you as my coach for that race, but it might be an unfair advantage against poor Pip! You're a blur of fur!

Thanks for following my blog, the e-pawprints. I'm here to visit and return the offer.

I already know a retired greyhound in the blogging community and I think it's sweet that families take dogs like you to happily retire in a loving home.

Good luck on the race, I see you're already practicing!

Winnie - we think you need to have Dad make a real racetrack around the perimeter of your yard - then you could zoom zoom zoom to your heart's content. Mom could put a pretty garden in the middle:) We know, we are dreaming, right?

You go, girlfriend. You've got some speed up there! We love the blurrs.

Bet you can go from naughty to forty in record time too.

XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella

Winnie you do well to get up to speed in a small area. Can see how you have churned up the grass.

I have several obstacles to zoom round, but it adds to the fun:) Song
