We had a gorgeous Spring afternoon for our monthly walk yesterday. We're not used to such warmth, so far Spring hasn't been anything to brag about. There was a great turnout of hounds and slaves. I didn't get a head count but there would have been more than 20 dogs and probably about 30 people counting human children:-) We all had a blast. So, photo time.

| Lots of slaves, a few hounds. This is the only photo with Louie in it, right in the middle:-) |
 |
| Lovely little Jade, wearing her new collar that her cuzzy, Beryl, gave her:-) |
 |
| No, these don't all belong to Michelle! |
The photo above was taken in a large (approx 4 acres?) fully fenced area and it's great for owners who aren't confident about getting their Greyhound back in the open spaces to have a place to let them off lead for a tear around and not worry:-)
What, no photos of The Princess yet, you're asking yourselves. Well, I didn't actually get many of Beryl as she spent most of the time leading the whole bunch of us. A couple of times she wended her way back to me to make sure I was OK then off she'd go again. She and Lucy and Louie seem to stick together at the front and I'm usually in the middle taking photos! But I did get a couple of photos of her:-)

I often get comments about how photogenic Beryl is and I just say, well, I only put up the good ones of her ... and here's the proof! Don't tell her I let you all see this photo, OK?

| The Princess can look like a frog!! |
I think I can safely say that everyone had a great time and we're all looking forward to the next walk in a month. Thanks for organising it Michelle!

Beryl looks lovely, even in that last photo, but your secret is safe with me!
I am SO envious that you're able to have such a fun meet up with so many people and hounds in such a large enclosed area! I would call in sick to work to be able to go to such a thing! Thank you so much for sharing all the fun with us!
Looks like a lovely walk!! And HOW cool to see THREE of my collars in your photos :-D yay!
What a great day! I wish we had meet-up groups like that in my city. It would be a wonderful way to introduce Shiva to so many potential friends.
Thanks for posting all these awesome photos!
What a fab time. Thanks for sharing all the lovely photos, even the last one (she looks beautiful, as always).
I love this blog! But why are the geys muzzled while leashed? And why are some loose naked while others are loose while muzzled?
Just my curiosity... I never muzzle while on leash and will only muzzle off leash when everyone else is muzzled. Also never let my girls run with other unmuzzled greys. I let them run unmuzzled with other breeds as long as play doesn't get too crazy. Always in a fenced area of at least 5ft high. Bad fence jumper puppy... LOL
