Barnaby Greyhound will not, I repeat, will not contest the leadership if Billy-Dog Thornton can prove he has the numbers behind him.

Georgie Greyhound has not yet specified who she will give her vote to. Rumour has it she is scrambling to see which one of the two will give her a prime couch position as part of their leadership pack.

Hello my beautiful friends, I am afraid I have some sad news for you which may come as a shock.

At around midday today, I grew my special wings and crossed the rainbow bridge. Mum and dad held me tight and stroked me and told me how much they loved me as I passed away peacefully at home.

A little over a week ago I had scans that showed the cancer had come back in the other leg, which was very unexpected. I didn't want to tell you all because I didn't want you all to worry. I am sure you understand. I was feeling ok up until last night when I woke up panting and in pain, and it was then I knew my time was coming.

Born to be a racing greyhound, my life certainly began on the wrong foot. However, over half of my life I knew so much love from my family (and it felt awesome). You too have been part of my journey and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will miss our chats x

Please send love and healing thoughts to my brother Billy and sister Georgie (she will be pining for me). Despite the last ten months of my life, I truly believe I have been the luckiest hound, knowing such happiness! I'm kinda sad I just missed out on my fifth gotcha day anniversary though 😔

I want to leave you with a quote if I may (from Dr Seuss)... "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". So true. What a beautiful life.

Much love, Barnaby xx

Ps. Make sure you look into the sky tonight and search for the brightest star.. That will be me 💫❤️

Ah so more of my story (the cancer journey part). About a week after I came home I started my chemo, which I had four of, about a month apart. I used to feel a bit off afterwards and usually two days after I wouldn't be interested in food (well, maybe BBQ chicken!), but would usually be ok after about four. I only was sick once! Us dogs don't get the sicks after chemo like you humans do.

I also started having acupuncture and mum modified my diet based on Chinese Diet therapy, and I had the Chinese herbs as well!

Here are some phots of me post-op as I was healing. You will see I am the hound of many faces (all good looking I might add).

Bit of a throwback this one from a few years ago.. Marmalade discovered I was useful for something after all! (Note my face frozen with fear!)
