Today we are celebrating Fillie's 13 year 11 months old - we are now celebrating monthly -
she is getting along sorta well though she totters around more and sleeps more - in the
past 3 months she has developed flat feet and her gait is sorta jilted when she moves
at more than a slow walk -...
Thanks Wendy - Paula & I just bred Mango -Lisa Costello, his owner, has done all the work <G>
and yes we are just tickled to death with what she has been able to do with him -
he is a little guy (at least in the US) at about 21" but there is no mistaking him for a male -
his littermate is 22...
Mango now has 11 (yes eleven) Majors in a row confirmed by AKC -
thats something that has never been done in whippets before -
all the majors have been under different judges - he appeals to
breeder judges as well as all-rounders -

last week sometime we decided that we would take a little jaunt down Texas way
for the TVRRCOT coursing on the school yard in Keller Texas - we were concerned
that it might be very hot down there since the weather here has been in the 90's
all week but the weather forcast said "cooler" and it...
Lure operator buried both of them in the corner - both were within 5 ft of the pully before lure op snatched it around
the corner and took off - Thunder was in the lead slightly and made the turn first but he's 48 lbs so takes a bit
to get moving again - Sterling made a small loop and was...
this should never happen with only two dogs on the course -
Thunder (in Yellow) has a bruised right sholder - the other dog
is Ok - neither dog went down as a result - both dogs finished
the course though Thunder was less than optimal running -
the collision happened Saturday and he still...
I think that a squirrel is a squirrel - as long as they dont fly they basically are the same -
our variety is the red squirrel in this part of the country - its been a good "nut" year
so we have way to many young ones around - the old ones know better than to
get in the yard -

7 whippets inside the door - 4 squirrels outside the door on the porch -
Payton 1st out the door - snatched 1 off the tree and took off after
another with the 1st in his mouth - dropped the first one when he
tried to take another - the second thru the fence just before he slid in
for another...
thanks everyone for the complimets - Lisa has had one of our dogs before and put so many titles on him -
conformation, obedience, coursing, agility, racing, and rally - she is really into giving the dogs all the
activities that they will do for her - I think that Mango is a better dog than...

North Central Whippet Specialty in Daluth, MN - to finish his conformation championship - Yesterday he
was moved up to Specials class and was awarded Best Opposite Sex to the number 2...

This is Thunder running for Best in Field against a very good big greyhound - Thunder weighs in at 48 lbs
and the Grey weighs about 85 lbs - Thunders head just barely comes up the the grey's shoulder -
we had him for the first 100 yards then those long strides made the pass -

Bluebonnets grow best wild in South West Texas - its a semi arid area and on those rare
times that it rains a lot there the bluebonnets really grow profuse -
I don't own Badger but we bred him - he belongs to Leah...
I woke up this morning - Its gonna be a great day ! !
We have had our first frost and first freeze this fall so winter is surely
right just around the corner - all the glorious fall color has fallen from the branches
and bushes just leaving the dark green of the occasional cedar and pine...
