GIG 2024


Recommended Posts

We’re not going this year. I was so disappointed. This used to be a premier greyhound event, but last year it seemed to be a shadow of its former glory.  :(

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

Mary Pat, Doug and I are going again this year!  We went last year after many years of absence---we knew it would be Laila's last big event, and she so loved to meet people and smooze.  We lost our precious girl in July.  :weep  So this year, it will be us and Angie and Kiva.  They are both older, and need to get out the door quickly, so we're staying at that funky little motel again.  I know it's gotten horrible reviews, but we were there last year, and it was fine.

We'll be meeting up with Ducky and Cindy at headquarters at some point, probably Saturday afternoon.  We'd love to see you!

I'm going to be there by Thursday afternoon.  And will be at Friday's 'groovy' evening.  Both Snowflake and I will be in our psychedelic best. Flake is an Irish snowflake grey. So look for a black girl with white spots.

We'll look for you!  We'll be there Thursday too. Though we don't go to the events---Doug just isn't up to it.  But we may go to Hauser.  It's a really beautiful setting, and everyone there was so nice.
