At Home

8/10 Rocky has steadily declined over the last few days with increasing pain levels. They were prepping him to do a second MRI today on a different section of his neck and one of the surgeons suggested doing an xray first (Xrays were done by our vet just a few weeks ago). Unfortunately, the xray...

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...

My new agility equipment arrived last week, as I finally got around to ordering a teeter base. I still have to acquire a board from Home Depot to finish setting it up and since that requires 1) a trip to a store I don’t normally go to and 2) two colors of paint to...

Snow fell on South Carolina last night and the hounds were loving it this morning! Two inches of light, fluffy snow fell over the course of the night, ending some time around 2am.  And the great thing about living in South Carolina is that most of the snow was melted by the end of...

I shot this picture upstairs when I found puppy Dash sleeping next to her idol and mentor Bindi, while Bindi rests her head on her packmate and former racing kennelmate Peanut (click to see full size version). Peanut and Bindi raced in Birmingham together, traveled together to race at Gulf Greyhound for a bit...
