Sunday 26 August 2007 At Ellesmere Cremore Gardens, Greenfields hosted their first dog show in partnership with Shropshire County Council Countryside Services.  promoting responsible ownership and  awareness of rescue greyhounds. Everybody had a great day. Lots of lovely lurchers and greyhounds turned up not to mention all the local dogs both crossbreed and pedigree who took part in the other classes. We had some good stalls too. Greyhound Gap turned up with all their lovely handmade collars and accessories. It really was a good day out for all sighthound lovers. The photo shows Mr Dylan Thomas who won Best in Show and on the right Lynne Dean from Shropshire Counryside Scheme who did so much to help Hayley organise the show.
	It is with deep sadness that we have to report our beloved Thomas has died. The operation to remove his leg gave him an extra two months, which doesn't sound long but when those months are filled with your favourite food and the days are so sunny and warm you can start sunbathing at 7am and carry on throughout the day and the nights are spent wrapped up in your sleeping bag on the sofa. When the previous years were spent shut in a kennel with little comfort or exercise. Then it was worth it.  Goodbye our gorgeous boy you were much loved.   Thomas 1996 - 2007
Thomas was originally on our rehoming page but was found to have developed a tumour. Update: Thomas continues to do well and now runs around the fields at a vast pace. He loves sunbathing and has made good use of the current good weather by getting up at six in the morning to get his favourite spot in the sun. He has convinced us that if a dog only has three legs then he needs a vast supply of sausage rolls and tins of tuna, we are not quite sure why but we are going along with it The photo shows Thomas saying a big thank you to the veterinary team who removed his leg at Churnet Valley Vets in Cheddleton.  Greefields would not be able to do the work we do without the help of Pat, Dawn, Sue and Katie..
