Tater Update

With the sudden loss of Bodhi last weekend, getting Tater to the vet for an exam and bloodwork was first on our list today. Tater and Bodhi had been in the same racing kennel and came home on the same day, so anything Bodhi may have been exposed to, Tater probably was as well. The great news [...]

Tragedy and Heartbreak.

I can not believe I am posting this.  I left for a weekend of lure coursing in Atlanta on Saturday morning…everyone and everthing was fine until this morning, Ken called me at 8am to say that Bodhi was having difficulty breathing and his gums were pale. His back was a little hunched…my first thought was [...]

We have a name! Rather, Bunny has a name!

 Her name was officially approved by the NGA: Fast Fluffy. The name has significant  meaning to me. Long before I ever considered actually owning a racer,  I would spend many hours chatting on the phone with my friend Heather (she happens to be with Team Greyhound). In addition to “girl talk”, we always seemed to [...]

You’ve come a long way, Diva!

When we adopted Diva last July, she was on the verge of being considered a permanent kennel resident. They had tried to place her a couple times, but her spooky ways kept her bouncing back to the adoption group. Ken and I had experience with spooks (Stella!), and we could tell right away that Diva [...]

Welcome Home Bodhi…..and Tater!

Yes, you read that right. Last weekend we welcomed home not one, but TWO fabulous newly retired racers. We actually went to Birmingham just to pick up Wildcat Bob, who we “preadopted” back in December when we brought Primo home. Though Fishdog Kennels was closing at Birmingham, some of the dogs  in the kennel still [...]

Life marches on…and sometimes it has to drag you along.

I don’t know how to start this. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been half tempted to tell Ken to just take down the site because I can’t bear to update it. We worked so hard to build this site and then Harmony got sick. And then Harmony died. And she took a huge chunk of [...]

Bunny is at the track!

Great news from Heather at Team Greyhound! Our first race dog, Bunny, arrived at Southland Greyhound Park a couple weeks ago. We’re still waiting for the naming paperwork to go through and she’ll have a month or two of training at the track before her first race. Her trainer, J.T., will get her used to running round [...]

2009 Hope For Hounds from 2Hounds Design

The long, gorgeous neck of a greyhound just begs to be adorned with beautiful collars. I spent years nurturing a collar fetish. Eventually, my collar collection swelled to over 100! I’ve since curbed my collar addiction and now a collar has to be special for me to buy it. And I mean really, really special. So when I learned 2 Hounds Design was releasing the 2009 Hope for Hounds collar, I knew it would be one that I ordered.
