ten thousand dollars

$10,000, well a little under is the value of the therapy unit thats being sent to me today. $10,000 that i have to rely on our rural delivery guy to actually get to me.  We have had issues in the past, a few years ago though, maybe I still hold a grudge but I really wanted that $15 worth of lollies.

$10,000 is also the amount of money the GPLNZ stopped from being donated to Canteen. A fundraiser was set up on the sale of a greyhound puppy, all money was going to canteen. Until they called Canteen and then Canteen didnt want it anymore. I wonder how GPLNZ followers would feel to know this.

what does training dogs really mean? washing,  lots and lots of washing.
I have every line full, im not talking the standard household line, sure we have a proper clothes line, but we also have 7 rope lines set up around the house.  and even then i have more washing to hang than line space, and both machine are still going.
greyhound trainer = full time washer,  and while your waiting for the machines to finish you can walk all the dogs

intro





I decided to write this because as it was 8.30pm and as im outside putting yet another load of dog washing into the machine, I turn and look at my partner who is also outside sorting dog meat for tomorrow. Sure we may have had a sit down to watch an episode of criminal minds but how many people are still out working at 8.30 after starting at 7.30.
We still have to let the retired dogs out again later for treats before bed.

Im not sure how this blog will go, probably a whole lot of dribble of my thoughts but here goes....
