This foster has been in the works for a couple weeks now. Ken received a call from a Greyt Expectations Greyhound Rescue in the DC area about a dog that needed a second chance. To make a long story short: kids allowed to pop balloons near a nervous dog and a nasty divorce are...

I really don’t like running. Actually, I pretty much despise it and every step is like torture. However, for some reason I have this fitness goal in my head that I want to be able to go out and run a 5K and not really have it be a big deal. I don’t really...

For quite some time I’ve been planning to get a memorial tattoo for all my Bridge kids. I’ve kicked around various versions of a winged greyhound…sometimes in a cloud…sometimes running. Lots of ways to do it. Then one day I had an idea. I decided that the next time we lost a hound, I’d...

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since Ken and I agreed to bring home a pregnant racer who’d come off the hauler from the farm in an obviously pregnant condition. It was an incredible honor to be entrusted with a shy and scared Momma dog and her precious cargo. A lot...

“The weight that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home” ….Live lyrics
I always thought of adoption as a sanctuary. A voice for those who can not speak for themselves. The ultimate protectors of hounds that are otherwise unwanted or in need. So when I look around our home and I...

Last week while Ken was getting the Buddha tattoo, I flipped through the book of a visiting artist and was totally blown away by the work I saw. In fact, the work was so incredibly detailed and realistic it was hard to believe I was looking at tattoos. That artist was Cesar Morales of...

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion
