When I asked about her I learned that she was racing Grade A and winning enough to be moved to Gulf Greyhound when Fishdog left Birmingham.  I was so excited for her as Gulf is my “home track”.  I spent many a Thursday there enjoying 50 cent hotdogs and beer and dollar margaritas while watching some of the greatest dogs I’ve ever seen run.  I was in love with Slatex Shell, who turns out to be  Denim Day’s Grand-Dam.

Well, she has run her last race and is headed back to Birmingham to await our arrival.  We will be picking her up on Sunday and welcoming her into a pack that has taken on a young new spirit.  Stay tuned.
