Replay from Palm Beach 9/18/2004. Box to Wire win!

"Manny" back at the farm after 171 races.

"Manny" is enjoying his retirement!

Many thanks goes out to Bob and Karen, "Manny"'s previous owners, and to Kristin, who raised "Manny" from birth, for allowing my family and I to experience the joys of owning a Greyhound!

Another member added to our family...

Union Made "Eunice" (Teamster x Nebo Aquarius) was given to us preadoption by Kristin nearly a year ago. We have enjoyed watching her race at Palm Beach and then at Naples-Ft. Myers.

"Eunice" as a tiny puppy.

She is now at home and quickly adjusting. Christopher
now has a dog of his very own.

Picture update on Dash pups

01/05/2008
"Mohawk" (pictured above) (Loxahatchee Dash x TDM Sadie)
If you look real close at the picture above and below, at
the top of her head, you can see why we call her Mohawk.

She and her brindle sister are owned by Doug.

Lil' "E" (pictured above with brindle to the left)
(Loxahatchee Dash x TDM Sadie)
When we drew random letters out of a hat, I happened
to draw the letter "e" and being she was the smallest girl,
thus the name Lil' "E" was given to her. Jamie and I
got to witness her birth, and all the stages up thru now. An
experience I am very thankful to Kristin & Brett for allowing
my family and I to have become a part of!
