Smokey and Leo had a blast at the Open House today. Thank you to all the volunteers for pulling the event together! Both Leo and Smokey did the Hound Dash and I was impressed with Smokey. He and Rick ran 1 mph all the way. You go Smokey!!!! _________________ Lynda M

I went on Saturday and Princess and I had a good time. Carly and Cruz kept each other company at home for the day .... Carly hid under the 2 Hounds Design vendor table the whole time last fall and Cruz barked at all the non-greyhounds and behaved in a way that would tend to reflect unfavorably on the Spanish Galgo as a whole.
Princess gives the event four paws up (a full roach). She enjoyed all the treats she mooched and especially liked that yummy hot dog she stole off a friend's plate! Next to the food, the games were a blast.
She was obsessed with whole fun run concept. I walked her up to just watch originally, but when she nearly pulled my arm off, I decided to let her try it. She had so much fun I let her have a second run later. She got much faster the second time and ended up tied for the fastest time on Saturday. She's a really muscular dog and runs low and hard. I swear she looked just like a cannon ball coming up the field!
She can't wait until the fall open house!  _________________ Cynthia, huMom to Carly (Cw Your Charming), Princess (Lofty Princess), & Cruz, the galgo

Cynthia-
What was Princess's MPH in the fun run? Wish Maddie and I could have been there but it was not possible. _________________ Amy

The hound dash was so much fun! Diesel and his brother Chip ran together, they goofed off playing and got a 28 mph, oh well...
Then Diesel ran by himself and got a 33 mph. I thought that was pretty good - until a lady said her tripod ran a 32!!

Way to go, Diesel! Darn that was a fast tripod! Wish I'd seen that!
I didn't take Carly, but I'll bet you she wouldn't have even broken into a run -- probably would have trotted away from the squawker. I've yet to see anything remotely competative in her. But she is SO sweet. She's a lover, not a runner!  _________________ Cynthia, huMom to Carly (Cw Your Charming), Princess (Lofty Princess), & Cruz, the galgo

I have a bad memory for numbers and I left the two little certificates at Bob & Alisha's vendor table! I think her first try was 34 mph and the second was 43 mph ... something like that. The guy with the speed gun said 4 dogs tied for best speed on Saturday -- I think it was 43. If anybody remembers, feel free to chime in. I just know she loved it and seemed sorry when it was over.  _________________ Cynthia, huMom to Carly (Cw Your Charming), Princess (Lofty Princess), & Cruz, the galgo

I saw the photo finish pictures and I think Smokey beat Rick by a nose!  _________________ Cynthia, huMom to Carly (Cw Your Charming), Princess (Lofty Princess), & Cruz, the galgo

I saw one of the 43 mph dogs but I don't remember his/her name.
Cash was really fast and he killed the squawker.
My Gracie only ran 28 mph. Seems she was exhausted after sleeping the entire 5 hour drive up and 2 hours walking around 'de Mayo party. She claims had the race been held earlier she'd have done much better.
We had a very good time. Volunteers did a fantastic job of putting this together.
Somebody give Tony and PJ another hug for me will ya? |
