Small Dog Racing

While the weiner dog races continued to draw big crowds, the trouble was finding jockeys of the right stature. Weighting the dogs as well seemed a trifle over-the-top.

Time To Let Go, Stan

Stan refused to give up the dream that one day he would be a champion. However it was apparent he would never fulful his ambition.

Two Lengths To Go

Although unorthodox, Beryl’s unique scampering stroke was surprisingly effective in middle-distance races.

Don’t Give Up

Sharon was trying hard, but despite her talent she never made it into the A team.

Pete had come close to the 60 second barrier several times, would this be his time to break it?

Skullduggery

Windemere was so nice at this time of year. The water was clear and fresh, and the surrounding hills full of big, interesting trees.

Furry Defence

The Smith brothers were a great asset to the team, but they tended to hit the popcorn a little too hard in the interval.

Monkey No Like Water

Harvey had begun to think he had volunteered for the wrong event.

Coming Up On The Udder Side…

Mavis was an outsider in every sense of the word, but she had the passion of a true champion in her four bellies.

Feel That Wind In Your Hair

It wasn’t Horace’s first attempt at winning the Classic Car Rally. He had been disqualified from last years race after he had started to gnaw on the steering wheel of his rival, but this year would be diffferent.
