I guess I’m a pretty picky person when it comes to food. No seafood, no weird animals (cows, chickens, turkeys and pigs only, please!), definitely no organs or weird body parts (even from the approved animal list). I don’t like Thai food or Indian food. No way to sour cream, spinach or olives. I...

Well, I ended up ordering ALL of the pictures from the photographer....so I had to narrow down 109 images to just a handful to post here! :blink: So as not to overwhelm everyone's web browser, I decided to give Echo her own post and Lucas his own...

After the sadness of losing Bodhi, I really needed a happy and positive weekend with my hounds. I’d already paid the entry fee for last weekend (Bodhi was actually one of the pups I registered to run ), so I decided to drag my butt (and hounds) to Georgia to run in...

In what’s been an otherwise sad week for us and our pack, we had some welcome news from Team Greyhound regarding our race girl, Bunny. Bunny is doing well in training, though she’s a little shy and still getting used to life in a racing kennel. Her first schooling race should be in the...
