A
Message From Twiggy
-
Christmas 2004
Dear
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.
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,

never done anything like this before!"
