Peggy's arrival and a brief history
Click images for a larger view

Peggy is a small white and brindle ex-racing Greyhound who was found as a stray and brought into Greyhound Rescue. As no one knew her name she was named Peggy but for reasons later explained her name was changed to Kate then changed back to Peggy. She is spayed, inoculated and microchipped. Peggy has a long racing history and walks nicely on the lead, travels well in the car, is okay with other dogs, doesn't appear to be bothered about cats and is a very loving Greyhound.
Peggy's Diary
4th April 2009
Stuart collected Peggy this afternoon from a Dumfriesshire & Cumbria Greyhound Rescue representative and because she already has a potential home he drove her over to see her potential new owner on the way back here. Her new owner seemed pleased with her but said she didn't like the name Peggy so could we call her Kate until she came to live with her permanently so she could get used to it.
5th April 2009
Kate's potential new owner called in this afternoon and took her for a walk so she could get to know her better.
18th April 2009
Kate is really settled, has no problems, wags her tail a lot and loves being in the garden where she will lay in the sunshine for ages. She often sleeps next to Bobby and Indi on the settee and enjoys her visits to the pub and to everyone saying hello to her.
If we have bed and breakfast guests staying in the room with the balcony Kate can often be found by the fence waiting for them or their dogs to appear on the balcony so she can say hello to them. She adored the greyhound we had staying the other day and although the greyhound was shy, she was slowly bringing him out of his shell and he was becoming more relaxed as his stay progressed - she's a little charmer!
19th April 2009
Kate is a very happy loveable little girl who loves cuddles and wags her tail a lot. She's a pleasure to have and nice to have on that is easy to look after and with no issues for a change.
21st April 2009
Kate's potential owner phoned this morning to say that after a lot of thought a greyhound is not for her so Kate will be staying with us a while longer.
23rd April 2009
This morning Pauline who had Jack and now has Major and Sky came and collected Kate and Sadie and took them with her to Barrow-in-Furness. Kate to be re-homed with a couple who lived a couple of doors down the road from her and who wanted a companion for their greyhound called Lucy and Sadie, so she could attend the 'Meet a Greyhound' day on Saturday in case there may be anyone interested in her.
24th April 2009
Received a call from Pauline letting us know that Kate was fine, settled instantly in her new home with Lucy and her new owners were

thrilled to bits with her so it looks as if she has found her forever home. However, they like the name Peggy much better than Kate so have changed her name back to Peggy!
15th November 2009
We heard this evening that Peggy went to the vet recently and had a corn removed from one of her pads. It was quite a large one so she's been visiting the vet for the dressing to be changed and for him to keep an eye on its progress. Its been weeping a bit and last Friday one stitch was removed with the other coming out in a couple of days time. Her owner says poor Peggy's getting a bit frustrated because she hasn't had a decent run for weeks and can only have short walks on the grass verge. Peggy's not too happy about this so the sooner her foot heals the happier everyone will be.
28th June 2010
Received an email this evening containing a photograph of Peggy fast asleep on her bed with her head on her companion Lucy's back. It's so lovely when two living together feel so comfortable together that they can cuddle - not all of them do!
