Dodge is home!! Very Happy

Look at this thick neck!

Disel wants to play, but Dodge is still a bit unsure about himself.

We made the 1200 mile roundtrip to Victoryland AL last weekend to pickup Dodge!
The track was crowded with people cheering on the greyhounds and betting like the economy is booming!
We met Bob Hickman (Hickman Hounds kennel) who held Dodge in his kennel for me for pickup.
Bob and his trainer Lazaro are very welcoming and nice people, their kennel is clean and the hounds are happy.
On Saturdays Lazaro works from 4:30am until the last race around 11:00pm, then back bright and early in the morning, hard work.
If anyone is in AL, stop by Victoryland, it's a nice track.
The compound is old and ugly, you need a visitor pass to enter, but they are planning on re-building it in the near future.

I'm glad that Dodge is home and the trip was a good one. Sounds like he had good track mates at the track. Now he is in his forever home, and what a great life he will have. If he only knew. Welcome home Dodge, Welcome home.

After 5 days of learning how to be a pet, Dodge actually ran a bit around the yard, not fast, but faster than usual. Then Diesel and Dodge both jumped in the goldfish(less) pond, yuck! Dodge tried to push a plastic ball with his nose and grab it with his paws, and he rolled in the grass sliding down the hill. He is very happy and learned how to take a cookie out of my hand and lick the ice cream bowl clean. He is really coming out of his shell, what a nice dog, not as a racer, but at least as a pet. I enjoy showing dogs the neat things of pet life.

Well.. race dog number two, LuLu, is not running either. She chases the lure but is just way too slow. Rolling Eyes

I am sending out her pet transfer papers and donation so she can go to an adoption group in Texas. Bummer.. Sad

But, since three is the lucky number, my third race dog, Midnight Rain, is schooling well and will be going to the track shortly!
She is a black girl out of Lonesome Cry and Nikita Rain. Go girl, make us proud! Very Happy
