Jennie goes to the dogs

Hey all
Jennie here:jennie.jpg

Well, what’s happened this week? … err, not a great deal really! We’ve been , busy getting your next instalment of H+P ready for the printers so it’s been a touch stressful at times.

We had a night off on Wednesday and went to ‘the dogs’ with the rest of our company, that's greyhound racing. I’d never been before and I was very excited at the idea of winning lots of money. However, my lack of betting experience showed and rather than backing a winner I seemed, without fail, to ‘back a loser’ in every race.
By race three I decided I’d have as good a chance as any if I picked the best looking horse, I mean dog!

So… whilst watching them parade I pointed to a cream colour greyhound and announced to Laura that I would be “voting for the bay coloured one”. (Can you tell I was out of my depth?!)

Laura looked at me in disgust. “Jennie,” she said, “for starters it’s not a horse but even if it was, it’s a palomino, not a bay! And you don't 'vote' you bet!”

Oh the shame. I’m off to study my dog (and horse) colours. Have a good weekend. x
