In support of Charl del Rio’s annual Fiesta des Galgos, held at the beginning of December, I organised my Fete des Galgos in France on 12th September (the weather’s better than in December!) and GRIN in America organised their Fiesta des Galgos picnic on 19th September. You can already see the pix of my Fun Dog Show for the event, and here’s a few pix of the American event. Check out Mr & Mrs Spain – it could only happen in America, bless them! As a result of this event, GRIN were able to send donations to help Silvia in Valencia pay for the veterinary treatment for the galgos and podencos in her care.

Urgent message for anyone in the Osun, Seville area – or anywhere!!! These are 9 galgo puppies existing in a railway yard at the side of a road – the gitanos (gypsies) are hovering. There is no sign of their mother. They need to be lifted to safety to foster homes for adoption. It is extremely urgent, hunting is due to start shortly.
