There are more physical windows on Earth than there are websites online. We should remember to look out of those every now + again.

Sincere thanks to those tweets of condolence. I'll write more about what happened at the end, but for now am too upset for words.

Dash was put to sleep this week. She’d been in a race with cancer for the last 6 months and, for once in her life, came 2nd. Devastated.

Thanks to all who wished Dash a happy 12th birthday. Still at her racing weight despite being in her 80s!!

Happy birthday, Dash! 12 years old today. (Collar sent by Swiss fan!) 🇨🇭

Rule of life: the moment a new rug touches the ground, it becomes be the property of a greyhound!

Either Dash is getting OLD or the rabbits getting BOLD!

Cover your eyes, Dash! It's washday ...

[Andrew Dilger @andrewdilger]

Who said hounds aren't smart?
