We always think of our dogs as our friends, we expect them to stand by us,to be understanding when we are down and to put our interests above all others.In return we allow them to share our lives and join in the fun,playfull when we expect it, or quiet when it suits us.We take care of our pets by feeding them and grooming them.Grooming can be a complex business. Short haired dogs generally only need a good brushing once a week, and maybe more when they are moulting.Rough haired breeds need a bit more care,thinning out the undercoat, and removing loose hairs from the top coat, they also need their nails trimmed regularly.Long haired breeds are real work, they need to be brushed out daily to prevent matting.A bath every so often with special shampoo will leave your dog feeling refreshed, and smelling sweetly.In return for their loyalty It behooves us to take care of our dog.Hope you like my paintings of our faithfull friend and I can be contacted on Facebook at Aine Art,Killashee.

I have been to the Greyhound Races a few times now, and I must say it is a great evening out. All the Irish tracks now have comfortable surrounds with bars and restuarants,and live racing on screen if it is too cold to venture out to the track.We are spoiled for choice now with tracks in Longford,Mullingar,Galway, Dublin, Clonmel to name a few. These tracks attract large crowds for an evening of great entertainment. Greyhounds are gentle and affecionate when raised at home but their racing prowess has eclispsed their suitability as pets. it is only when they retire they are suitable to be homed as a pet. A lot of the animal shelters have greyhounds available for adoption,and their is no shortage of people willing to take them.They will provide years of affection. Racing greyhounds have to be in the peak of condition and are regularly excercised by their kennell attendant who walk a number of them at a time. Training starts at about 15 months old, and a healthy dog can be ready to race...
