And here's a reel the walk leader put together. We've counted the coins now and there's been £800 donated! That's donations only from the people attending the walk. Sighthound folks best folks. ❤️
GGGW was fun! It felt a little smaller than previous years, but still a lot of hounds! I met my first Irish Woflound. Leeloo met a dog bigger than her.
We didn’t stay for the full event. I think Leeloo was having some leg cramps, but refused to settle down somewhere.
She’s passed out now.

Back at the kennels after the walk we put on some refreshments and had a party, bringing in about another £500 of donations. Here's a few photos taken by volunteer Holly Keane.

During the #GGGW walk, a man pointed at my Rich Skipworth “Greyhound Fan Club” shirt and said “Hey I have that on my hat!”
Me: “Oh, you’re a fan of Rich Skipworth as well?”
Him: “Huh?”
Me: “Yeah, Rich Skipworth, the artist.”
Him: “Oh, I got this on Ali Express.”
Me: “Oh…I prefer the artist to actually get paid.”
Moment of silence. Him, visibly offended: “But you can’t beat $2.50!”
Rich Skipworth’s merch isn’t expensive, and he has frequent sales…
The beginning of our walk for GGGW.

It’s GGGW day. 7:45 AM now and the temp is 81F, so it’s going to be a hot day. Humidity is 65% so cooling vest for the long dog may not be terribly effective (their effectiveness is almost completely nullified above about 60%).
I’ll still take a cooling vest with me and monitor the humidity. Also take plenty of water.
