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...

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...

When I think of words to describe Rocky, only one comes to mind: love. That dog loved with his whole heart. He loved life. He loved people. He loved other dogs. He loved to eat poop. He loved everything. I am so thankful to have loved and been loved by him. From the time...

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...

Could be the wings that carry you home” ….Live lyrics

Ken and I don’t host fosters very often. I often joke that we are the worst possible foster home – we have lots of dogs and we work from home, so we’re here pretty much 24/7. We’re really nothing like your average pet home a dog would go into. But, sometimes we...

With heavy hearts, we helped our proud old lady to the Bridge yesterday. She has been in declining health in the last couple months, with her diabetes getting harder and harder to control. Though the xrays looked ok, her breathing was getting more labored and her heart sounds were not great. Her spark and...

The weather was cold and rainy today, so the crew was pretty laid back and not interested in doing much except standing around…but here’s some of the better shots I got…
First, Wuzho our beloved staghound….
The puppy says: Take my picture next! Me! Me! Me! Me!
My girl, Tater…no doubt heading off to look for trouble...

I loaded up the hounds and headed to Fairburn, GA yesterday for a great day of lure coursing. It was a small trial with a good greyhound entry of four open dogs (and only one was mine!). Because this was an NLCC sanctioned trial, not ASFA, Echo is actually an Open dog since she’s...

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
