WORTHY PROVES A WORTHY WINNER

 

WORTHY ACE OWNED BY STALWART OWNER ALAN BRANDOM PREVAILED IN THE SHADOWS OF THE POST TO LAND THE FARLOE KRAVEN & FARLOE MYSTERIO RETIREMENT STAKES AT MONMORE LAST NIGHT. THE RACE WAS SPONSORED BY JIM AND SANDRA O' SULLIVAN AND OF COURSE ALAN BRANDOM WHO WERE THE OWNERS OF THE TWO HOUNDS THAT HAVE RECENTLY RETIRED. DESPITE ADMITTING TO BEING SLIGHTLY EMBARASSING TO WINNING HIS OWN RACE ALAN WAS DELIGHTED IN THE MANNER SHE RAN COMING FROM A SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE POSITION TO GET UP CLOSE HOME.

 

LITTER BROTHERS FARLOE KRAVEN AND MYSTERIO WERE GREAT SERVANTS FOR THEIR OWNERS AND FOR THE KENNEL AND BOTH RICHLY DESERVE SOME TIME ON THE SOFA. KRAVEN LIVES WITH THE O' SULLIVANS BUT MYSTERIO IS STILL IN NEED OF A LOVING HOME!

WE'LL JUST KEEP PLUGGING AWAY

IT WOULDN'T TAKE A BRAIN SURGEON TO DEDUCE THAT THE KENNEL HAS HIT A LULL IN PERFORMANCE IN THE PAST FORTNIGHT OR SO, BUT AS MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS TIME OF YEAR, REGULAR CHANGES TO THE WEATHER MEAN THAT BUGS ARE RIFE AND KENNEL SICKNESS CAN REAR IT'S UGLY HEAD. THE TERM KENNEL SICKNESS COVERS A BROAD SPECTRUM OF AILMENTS INCLUDING GASTRIC PROBLEMS AND COUGH. OUR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GASTRIC WITH LOSS OF APETITE, VOMMITING OR LOOSE MOTIONS IN OUR GREYHOUNDS. OFCOURSE ITS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO SPOT AND EVEN WHEN WE DO AND WE WAIT TILL ITS SEEMINGLY PASSED THE DOGS CAN STILL UNDERPERFORM FOR UP TO A FORTNIGHT OR SO. ALL WE CAN DO IS STAY CALM, KEEP TO OUR ROUTINE AND WAIT TILL THIS PASSES THROUGH WHICH IT WILL IN DUE COURSE.
