Hi - my name's Barbie - I just moved up to Charlotte, NC from Tampa, FL. I moved up here to be closer to my family - literally across the street from my sister!

I have two beautiful hounds, Momma Dawn (racing name: La Machine) who is a 10 year bossy broody and Skipper Dipper (Kiowa Kay Toma) who is a silly 4 year old that retired due to injury.

I look forward to meeting everyone up here - and hope to add a 3rd to the brood once I get settled up here. Wink

Thank you for whoever mentioned this site in response to my thread on greytalk - this is great local information!

Welcome, your hounds are beautiful. We are a busy group and I invite you participate in our many activities. Hope to meet you soon.

I am Linda C. and I live with 5 wonderful greyhounds that bless me everyday. I am so thankful to have them in my life. Your momma looks just like my Tessie. She is 11 and thinks she is the momma. Laughing

I am also an old Fla. girl, raised in Lakeland and Plant City area. Of course, that was a long long time ago. Laughing

Edited to add: We are kin. Laughing

La Machine and my Legs Beecher share a grand father (Rooster's Spur) and Kiowa Kay Toma is my Sweet Memories half brother (sire: Kiowa Sweet Trey). Cathy R. in our group has a littermate of Mem. and Leah will be getting a littermate, hopefully soon. So your pup has several sisters in the area. How cool it that!!! Laughing

Oh that's super cool! My first grey was one of La Machine's babies - Breezin Bumper. She actually found her Momma at a Meet and Greet before we even knew they were related! Unfortunately we lost her to a sudden illness last year... but I love littermates and brothers and sisters....

Hi Barbie.
I'm the one who told you about this board. I'm way on the coastal side of the state. But I will be up for the Cinco de Mayo festival so maybe we'll meet then.
Has it been cold enough for ya? Laughing
