Note From The Editor: I hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year and that Santa brought you all lots of presents. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to the Christmas Fayre but I heard that a good time was had by all. I had a sad start to the year as my greyhound Ronnie collapsed and died whilst on a walk with a friend. It was a nice way for him to go especially as he wasn’t like your typical greyhound, he loved his walks. It wasn’t very nice for me as I felt that I hadn’t had a chance to say goodbye. I feel bad as on the morning he died I hadn’t taken much notice of him as I had been in a hurry to get the kids to swimming. If only I had known I would have given him a big hug and a kiss. We had had Ronnie for just over seven years he had been there through three house moves our wedding and the arrival of our two children. He was such a laid back dog and nothing seemed to phase him. He will be very sadly missed. 2014 also brings in change for Homefinders as David Jones has decided to step down as Co-ordinator. I have worked with David for over seven years and I will miss working with him. I am sure that you will agree he has done an amazing job building up Homefinders to what it is today. He is certainly leaving on a high as he has re-homed a record 22 dogs since Christmas and we have had a very generous £5000 donation in a Will. David is handing over the reins to Corrinne whom I’m sure that many of you will have seen at the kennels. Further details about Corinne can be found in the Newsletter.
I would like to wish David a very happy retirement and Corrinne good luck in her new role. Please keep sending me your letters and emails the newsletter is only as good as the stories that you provide. Jules
All Change There is a `change at the top` for Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders. On Monday 10th February, Corinne Douglas took over our Homefinders 0845 458 3797 contact phone number and, with it, the role as Homefinding Co-ordinator. David Jones, after seven years and nearly nine hundred pet homed, is standing down. Corinne, a former Hospice Nurse Manager, having owned and shown Ibizan Hounds for twenty five years, decided she would like a greyhound and four years ago, came to Homefinders through her lovely blue and white boy Marley, having fallen for him, after seeing his photo on Homefinders web site. David Jones has pledged Corinne his full support as she settles in to her new role.
