It’s a boy!

Yesterday was the pup draw for the Dave the Dog x Flying Tan Time litter in which we own one puppy. There were 8 puppies, with the A pup already given to the previous owner of Tan Time as part of her sale to Team Greyhound. The pup draw is done randomly…the owners who have purchased [...]

She’s looking good!

In what’s been an otherwise sad week for us and our pack, we had some welcome news from Team Greyhound regarding our race girl, Bunny.

Greyhound Zen Moment

Few things in life are better than being surrounded by a happy, balanced pack of greyhounds. No government bailouts, no urgent emails, no ringing phone or dinging text messages. Just peace and quiet and wagging tails and puppy dog kisses…

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 [...]
