If you weren’t able to make it
to the Greyt Tea, you sure missed a fun time!
We had approximately 90 people and
their greyhounds show up for the tea party
with several of the greyhounds dressed up for our Mad Hatter contest.
Along with the festivities of the
Mad Hatter contest and auctions and raffles,
we had Robin Hunt, animal communicator talking to some of the
greyhounds.
Needless to say Robin was a huge success.
Our winners of the various contests
for this year’s tea party were as follows:
| |
Best Dressed Male Greyhound:
Scooby |
| |
Best Dressed Female Greyhound:
Rose |
| |
Winner of the $500 Best Buy
gift certificate: Rebecca May
|
And most importantly, the big winners
were all the greyhounds in GU’s care since
we were able to raise over $2500 to help offset our vet expenses.
In addition, a big Ahrooooo
(greyhound-speak for "Thank You") goes to all of
our volunteers who helped out at The Greyt Tea:

Now dear, make sure you keep that tail at the
BACK of the hat. |

Who turned out the lights?

Keep quiet Woody, or I'll drop you in the water bowl.

Tea? I was expecting to race!

Ahhh, dear, keep massaging right there.

I don't know if I can go through with this.

These flowers look mighty tasty...

Mom, I don't want to wear this hat.

Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

James, is the limo ready?

The Charleston? Now?

Dog
Treat Recipes
One of the most asked questions at
the Greyt Tea was what recipes were used
to make the dog treats that were served.
Homemade dog treats are fun to make
and healthier than many of the store-bought
versions so below are a couple of the recipes that were used along
with links to others.
