Off to the Races!

Last week we went to the greyhound races at a track that's only a 15 min. walk from our house. We didn't know if this was bad like going to a bar or anything so don't judge us if you deem it sinning. We did have to try to avoid the smoke but with races every 10-15 min. we had a blast!

Before every race the dogs were paraded along the track with their trainers so that we could get a look at them. With such a small group of people there, we were able to get right up to the track and be within a meter or two of the dogs. These dogs are amazing!! They are so lean and strong, and while they're running past you the thuds on the track from their paws is really intense. Spencer and I would make guesses at who would win based on jersey colour, dog colour, dog name, or how they looked when they did their little walk about. I think I only won once but it was still really fun. We didn't take a camera because we thought some people might frown upon that, so I apologize we don't have any pictures. I really had fun and although it was kind of late for Rosy I think she enjoyed seeing all the dogs too! Love to all.
