Like it says in the title ....
Who are you ? What are your names ? What pets are you owned by ? Where do you live ?
Tell us a little about yourself ,,, it would be intresting to see how many parts Darcys story has reached so far .....

I am Laura. I live near Uttoxeter with my OH Andrew, Bert and Flo, our black and tan mutts, Warner the cat and two cockerels and four hens. Bert was a poundie pup and Flo came to live with us via our local small rescue, Cheadle and District Animal Welfare Society. They are as different in temperament as chalk and cheese but we love them both equally and they seem to be very fond of each other too. I work for The Stroke Association and do one night a week in the local pub. Andrew is not working because of health problems but we are very hopeful that with the right help he will be well enough to work again in the not too distant future. I have never met Darcy or the Doyles in person but 'know' them all virtually via Dogpages. And Darcy can take full credit for educating me about osteosarcoma in dogs - and may she continue her teaching for many a year to come.

Hi All
I'm Di, one of Darcy's willing minions for THE party of the year! I live near Nottingham with my 6 cats and 4 dogs, all bar 1 rescued, including Danni the dobermann who lives with me as a lifetime foster, enjoying a happy retirement after a miserable life in kennels.
I have 1 son and a lovely daughter-in-law too.

I'm Julie and I live in Wiltshire with my Duck Toller Robin, my rescue chickens and my OH (thats sort of in the wrong order :-) ). I've followed Darcys highs and lows - sometimes with my heart in my mouth more usually with great joy and admiration for an amazing dog and her equally amazing family. Good Luck Darcy and Happy Birthday Lovely

Kent (my DH) and I live in Nashville Tennessee USA. We have been active is Greyhound Adoption since 2001, and have been owned by retired racers since 1992. As a direct result of our activity in Greyhound Adoption, we were asked to take in a 'troubled' 4.5yo F Scottish Deerhound last April. Her name is Pepper, and though she has her issues, we love her deerly! She currently has two 'siblings' - Naomi and Money - both retired racers. We found Darcy on FB and really hope that Darcy continues to do well and that her party raises LOTS of money for Dr Couto and his research.
