Thank you - and one more request!

We received so many wonderful photos that show Greyhounds and cats, dogs, rabbits and kids all living peacefully that we will have several pages full of these stories in the next edition. The words have gone off for subbing and layout now - and those whose pix were a bit too small will be contacted to see if they can beef them up a bit. Thank you all for being so prompt and telling your stories, I am sure it will make an impact seeing all those lovely images of harmony. A picture is worth a thousand words.

There is one more thing I am looking for image-wise. We have a great studio shot of a rescue Greyhound that could make the front cover, but I'm wondering if anyone else out there has a special photo that might be even more appealing? I'd like something that shows the softer side of the Greyhound expression - a close-up of the face, maybe head on paws looking at the camera. Or snuggled up. Or anything else breathtaking really - will know it when I see it!

If you have a shot you're really are proud of, or if you know someone who has one that's pin sharp, the right shape - ie portrait not landscape and is hi-res can you contact me as it would be great to look at some more cover options to make this the most eye-catching edition possible.

Email me on beverley@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk

Once again thanks for your help in this,
Best wishes
Beverley

and finally...

I got this email from Kelli Windebank:

" This is Aoife, is my special girl. I have only recently rescued her from Greyhound Rescue West of England. She is a tattooed greyhound and she is two next month

"On Friday she suffered a stroke - she is now lying at the vet specilaist paralysed on all four legs. She had a stroke of the spine and it has been one of the worst weekends of my life. Aoife is a beautiful girl. She has only just started her new life with us - we got her at the end of Feb and she was just beginning to enjoy her new life here, she was a real sweetheart and was sent to mend my heart after I lost my lurcher girl Tilly suddenly to Pyothorax in Nov 07 :( . It's so unfair this has happened to her now - but I know she will get back to good health again - she has the spirit of the Greyhound."

I'm sure we all send Aoife all our best wishes and hope she gets better very soon.
