8th Race results

Race 8

John had four dogs in Race 8 because he was working two kennels. All four dogs came in the top four positions. I wish I had bought the superfecta.

Top Dogs at Dairyland

We were surprised to see the program had all of the top dogs in the tracks history. There is our Tommy Romano in 2002. Go Tommy!

Last night of racing at Dairyland

We went up to Dairyland Greyhound Park to visit with Carla, Dallas and John on the last night of racing at the track.

Biscuit thief

Tommy doesn't always eat his biscuit right away, so Stephanie is trying to figure a way to steal it from him.

More snow

We got more snow. Bullet checks things out. You can see their tracks as they come in and out of the house.

Brownie

I really like their new puppy. Her coloring looks a lot like Bullet.

Megan and Brownie

Megan gives Brownie some love.

Kaitlyn and Megan get a new puppy

The first snow of winter 2009

Glow sniffs the cold air after our first snow of the winter.

Stephanie

Stephanie sits in my office and watches out the window while I work.

Van ride

The hounds like to go for rides in the van. Bullet likes the ride, but pants the whole time.

Chasing geese

The geese don't stick around when the hounds walk by.

Meeting people in the park

We met a family in the park that were interested in the hounds. They were all real good while they got some attention.

Squirrel watching

Bullet and Bliss monitor the yard for squirrel insurgents.

Walking the dogs on a cold fall day

The weather got real cool so the dogs get to wear there coats for the first time of the cold weather season.

Bedtime for the hounds

The hounds are great when it comes to going to bed at night. Four of them sleep in the master bedroom and Bliss sleeps in the guest room. It just gets too crowded with four beds in one room.

July 2009

This is our annual 4th of July photo of the hounds.

Glow hits the mark

OK...who says that girls don't mark? Glow has a few favorite rocks and manhole covers she likes to mark on. The other two girls don't mark like this. Glow is more accurate than the boys are.

Bunny at 12 o'clock

Bullet and Bliss lock their attention on a bunny in the middle of the sidewalk. If they were off leash, this would have been a real chase. We are getting more rabbits in the neighborhood lately and we see them almost everyday now.

Tommy goes wading

We had some heavy rains and the ponds we walk around flooded. Tommy liked walking in the water that flooded over the pond wall.

Using the Predator Call

If you have a greyhound in the house, you may want to turn the sound down low. This is a video of me testing the recall of the hounds with the predator call. If your dog responds to this, then you know the call may work for you to help recall an escaped hound.

Another Rooing to CSI video

This is what the hounds do everytime they hear the CSI theme song. Watch Glow, she doesn't even lift her head up.

Why my yard has less grass

This video explains why I don't have grass on either end of the yard now. Everytime they turn around the trees, more grass gets torn out. This was 2005. Now I have straw on either end to control the mud.

Puppy training dog style

Glow is our Alpha hound. She is teaching Morgan her place in the pack. You can see that Glow is firm with Morgan, but does not hurt her. Morgan's neck was wet with slobber.

Glow and Morgan Tug O War

This is Puppy vs Adult Hound in a Tug O War.

Hound play

This is Glow and Bullet in 2005 playing together. We were also fostering a puppy we named Morgan.
