Describe your ideal day
Mum would come downstairs very early and give me several Bonio biscuits. We would go straight out for a long walk, and she would bring a squeaky toy for me to carry around. There would also be water for me to splash in and squirrels for me to chase. When we got home I would have a large breakfast of vegetables, oats and tuna, followed by some treats. I would empty my entire box of toys on the floor and be completely surrounded by them. The rest of the day would be spent riding in the car, wrestling with Mum, playing with squeaky toys, eating a bone in the garden, and just generally bouncing around the house. On our afternoon walk we would meet up with lots of other greyhounds so we could all run together and I would be the fastest. I would have double rations for dinner, and there would be a chicken wing for afters. Then after all that I would be ready to go to bed, and Mum wouldn't wake me last thing to insist I go outside for a final wee.
