2008-02-12T01:20:00.000-05:00

This is the last pic I had taken of Larry the Lurcher. He was a very special dog and will be missed dearly by us all. ????- February 11, 2008

Godspeed Larry!

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Ray (pictured above) is ready for the festivities.

We had a Pre-New Year's Eve celebration party this evening at the farm. Many thanks to our friends that were able to join us. We enjoyed great food and conversation. May all our hopes, wishes and dreams come true in 2008.

Happy New Year from all of us at Block Sporthounds.

Christmas treats

2007-12-26T23:06:00.000-05:00

All the dogs received special treats for Christmas. Brenda Lee and Bouncing Bucky got a package all the way from Wisconsin. Our Lil' E (shown above) got a new ball to play with!

Our webmaster, Brian, has been diligently working on a new look to the website.

"How many Greyhounds does it take to put in a light bulb?" It isn't moving. Who cares?

Merry Christmas from Block Sporthounds!

"Season's Greetings" from Fine Silver*!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We have all been working hard decorating the farm for this time of year. Jamie made custom stockings for each of the studs and broods embroidered with their kennel names.

Foreign M&M's anyone??

Take a very close look at them. (click on the photo to enlarge) Fine Silver*, Hondo Dingle*, Maryville Rumble*, and Swahili Eile* on red and green holiday M&M's. Many thanks to Mr. Dick Ciampa for this unique gift.

The stockings were hung by the dog doors with care,

The new blog, by Chris!

2007-11-29T01:34:00.001-05:00

This new blog is being added to the site on 11-30-07. It is another example of the fine work Chris is doing and has done with the sire videos for the boys that have been distributed at the Nationals and mailed to folks interested in breeding to them.

The videos have been loaded up to Youtube and Chris has embedded them into this blog. They can be viewed below. GREAT WORK CHRIS!!!!
