(My galgas Sahara & Carmela sharing a bed today!) Yes, it’s 5 years today since my webmaster Craig and I launched Galgo News. We’ve travelled a long way in those 5 years – published many different stories – happy stories, sad stories, rehomings, appeals, letter-writing campaigns – whatever has been sent to me, I’ve read and published most of it. I’ve only had to remove one post, where people commenting then launched a personal attack on two volunteers in Spain. I won’t countenance libel, so the post was removed. I still have it on file, as the subject matter is important, and one day it may raise its ugly head again.
I’m grateful to all of you lovely readers who have bought copies of my book to learn more about the plight of the galgo; you’ve responded well to appeals for donations towards vet care for sick and injured galgos, and many of you have offered forever homes to hundreds of the galgos featured on Galgo News and associations I publicise. You are marvellous and I feel sure that the volunteers and associations feel the same.
