Vet visit x 4

Having 15 dogs, I’m sure it’s no surprise to you that we often find ourselves at the vet’s office. This week we had four pups who needed to head to the vet for various reasons…Echo, Melody, Tater and Peanut.

Joining the Pack – Peanut

At the end of 2006, Team Greyhound Racing was closing their kennel in Mobile. I often helped transport hounds from their  Birmingham racing kennel to the SC/NC area, so I offered to help out in any way I could with the Mobile closing. Heather took me up on my offer and I drove the 8 [...]

Speuters for Primo and Tater- done!

Well,  today was Tater’s spay and Primo’s neuter. This is actually the fourth appointment we’ve had for Primo’s snip job…the first time, we completely forgot about the appointment. The second time, his blood didn’t clot in the pre-surgery blood testing so we had to run more blood panels and have them sent to Upstate Vet [...]

Denim Days Is Coming Home

Denim Days is like my mistress – she is the greyhound that I secretly think about when I’m petting my own.  She caught my attention many months ago when Heather and I were in Birmingham to pick up dogs from Fishdog Kennels.  When I opened her crate she bounded toward me and started covering me [...]

Lucky Louie’s third career

He started life as a racing greyhound. He retired from racing and became a blood donor for a vet clinic in Nebraska. And now, Lucky Louie starts a third career: lure coursing! I brought Louie along last weekend to fill the entry I’d submitted for Bodhi. Louie is one of our more active hounds and [...]

Echo does it again!

Ah Echo. My little lure coursing machine. I often tell Ken that she’s my once in a lifetime dog. I don’t know that I’ll ever have the good fortune to own a dog like her. Natural ability, sound build, nice feet and the heart of a champion. She has brought me to tears more than [...]

Lure Coursing Results Mar 14-15

CHASE’s annual St. Patrick’s Day field trial was held in at Old Mill Farm in Cartersville last weekend. This was the first time in over a year that Echo was entered to run on both days – a test to her endurance. The course was 870 yards on Saturday and 810 yards on Sunday. A [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
