silverfish Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Beautiful, but scary!!!! I would hate to see those first few rounds of practice. Scary yes - but I imagine they started off very, very small. And I'm thinking the men ran a risk of injury too, with 30-odd kilo of dog hurtling out of the sky at them! There's no fear in their body language at all. No! Only joy. Quote The plural of anecdote is not dataBrambleberry Greyhounds My Etsy Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocsDoctor Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Lovely - they do look as if they are enjoying themselves! Quote Clare with Tiger (Snapper Gar, b. 18/05/2015), and remembering Ken (Boomtown Ken, 01/05/2011-21/02/2020) and Doc (Barefoot Doctor, 20/08/2001-15/04/2015)."It is also to be noted of every species, that the handsomest of each move best ... and beasts of the most elegant form, always excel in speed; of this, the horse and greyhound are beautiful examples."----Wiliam Hogarth, The Analysis of Beauty, 1753.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Whoa!! Sharing that. Yes, that seems scarier for the men than for the dogs. I think Beth missed her calling -- she is a big leaper!
