Oh yes Annette Crosbie is well known for her work to support ex racers over here. She’s often on TV with her dogs. Jilly Cooper (Author of ridiculous books such as Polo & Riders…) is another greyhound promoting celeb… Deccy x
Thanks, Deccy. I’m always looking for famous Greyhound owners.
Yay. It’s always good to have a high profile advocate. 🙂
I loved Calendar Girls, and she was great in it!
Oh, the felt tree might be my favorite so far! Gah! You have a better one every day!
She has beautiful greyhounds! I love hearing about celebrities that have greyhounds.
Gosh, you can tell what a nice lady she is just by looking at her. She has kind eyes. Thank you, Miss Crosbie, for everything you do for greyhounds!
Speaking of Greyhounds, when we went to Kansas City for Thanksgiving, we passed a sign for the Greyhound Hall of Fame. I wanted to stop but my mom said no. Humph!
Wiggles & Wags,

Here’s a linkie to the hall of fame. Can you BELIEVES my mom and dad didn’t stop????? http://www.greyhoundhalloffame.com/
I’m thinking I need to go on a road trip.
Love the blue for Christmas!!!!
She is truly a lovely lady 🙂 Did you notice she wears a greyhound jumper in the Calendar girls film? Also, have you seen what Mr Reznor of Nine Inch Nails has been up to? Another greyhound lover right there!
I have not seen Calendar Girls; but I’m going to correct that soon! I will look for the jumper. I think Trent Reznor will have to show up in a future “Famous Greyhound Owners” post.
She looks like such a lovely lady. I need to check out the Calendar Girls movie, too!
I sure wish I could get my 6 Greyhounds to sit still long enough to get my photo taken with them…would be a lovely Christmas card if my husband & I could get a photo without them acting all wild and crazy…
Annette Crosbie is a wonderful lady and wonderful actress. I always enjoy seeing her on television. And, it’s so nice to read about her activities for the greyhounds.
