Bodley

We have received so many lovely messages and we're sorry that we just can't respond to them all. We are touched to know just how much Bodley was loved by hounds and their humans all over the world. Thank you for giving Bodley your love and friendship. Bodley's hoomans xx

Bodley's hoomans here. We are so sad to tell you that our beautiful Bodley gained his wings this morning. He hadn't been well for a while and he was ready to cross the bridge today. To say we are utterly heartbroken is an understatement. Run fast and free, our darling boy 💔

@BertieRace @race_kay Happy gotcha, old boy 🍻

Good morning everyone, it’s my Gotcha Day, I came to my fabulous furever home 7 years ago. Have a great day and enjoy your virtual Great North Tweet Up on Mum’s Twitter account @race_kay

@PottsAndPlum @TeddyGoblin BOL 😂 He'd love that, although I'm not sure I'd trust either his driving or his ability to stay in the side-car if he saw something shiny 😂🤣

@Dolly_n_Dash Dash has manners?! 😘

Mum made banana and peanut butter pancakes for breakfast and we had our very own mini one! Dash forgot his manners 🙄

@PottsAndPlum That would be pawsome, Pepps 😘 I shall keep an eye out for you 👀

@PottsAndPlum Vroom vroom! 🏍️💨💨

@GalgoNando @HollyBobsHound Happy gotcha tiny sis 😘

Happy gotcha day to my sister @HollyBobsHound . Madre picked her up from the kennels 9 years ago today and started her obsession with greyhounds and sighthounds ❤️❤️

@GalgoNando Statuesque, I'd say 😘

@ColonelBodley I am a bit of a behemoth for a Galgo

Madre says I fold down quite small for a fat Galgo #36kg

@Mount_Armstrong Happy gotcha, sweet Penny 😘

@lurcher_lacey Love that!! Happy birthday, little one 😘🎂🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

@Holly_E17 Very odd. Yes, I'm much more refined. Although my 'come and fuss me' eyes seem to have lost their touch rather where Chico's mum is concerned 🤔

@ColonelBodley It's very odd isn't it. No one making a fuss of us out and about. I assume you stand silent and noble while the lads call to each other. 💓

I saw my "auntie" and "uncle" who live down the road and ruined social distancing by running down the lane to greet them. I had to have a wipe down and I imagine they disinfected themselves after but frankly it's probably worth it.

@DukeHound16 Star is rather more petite than me, but she does look like she's got plenty of room. Thanks!

@ColonelBodley Yes Star liked that one. They are well made. We just seem unsure of the flat one as we seem to tip off it. Hoos have tried taking out some stuffing too.

#HoundsofTwitter have any of you tried a George Barclay bed? I have a big birthday coming up so I'm doing a little market research before submitting my final gift list 😏

@EsmeSnowflake Yes, same here 😆 But I'm getting creakier, to be honest, and I think a bit more support might be in order 👴

@DukeHound16 Thanks, pal. I was thinking about one with sides 🤔

@ColonelBodley Yes we have one here. Ours is a flat memory foam one which has not really gone down well here to be fair. We just don’t like going on it. Star liked the one with sides on it when she was at Crufts which is more like our Orvis ones.

@HoneyGreyhound Happy birthday lovely lady 😘🎂🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

@ComeOutNeville Oh Nev 😢 Love to your family xx

Neville is home. Signing off.
