A Message From Twiggy - Christmas 2004

Twiggy & Leigh at XmasDear Friends,

Well I’ve just had the best early Christmas gift ever – remember Gracie and Joe – the two 10 year old greyhounds looking for a home. Well last weekend they went to their new home and are settling in well. I’m absolutely thrilled that through making people aware of their plight we got such a great response.Joe & Gracie

But there are lots more greyhounds at Croftview Kennels looking for a home – so pass the word or send a donation – every little helps these poor discarded dogs.

May I take this time to wish you all a very Happy Holiday season and lets all pray for a more peaceful, loving world...

Best wishes,
