Bouncing Bucky is picking up steam as Flying Kroger was just bred to him last week for Allen Ertl. Judy Jones of EZ Greyhound farm has put in for a hefty order of semen on him for her clients as she is getting requests. This dog is the best Brett Lee son at stud in the States and deserves the attention he is now getting.

It was wonder seeing friends new and old out at the Meet this week. Chris and Jaime Stivers accompanied me to Abilene where we met up with Denny and Wanda Curry, Linda Russi and the DeSalvos. The Currys, the Stivers and myself had a blast bowling. I think we laughed as much as we bowled!

Linda, the Stivers and I toured the Greyhound Hall of Fame and met up with Donna and Francie...our new North Carolina neighbors at the Hall with their champion Talentedmrripley. Then off to Bernie and Andi Collette's house to see their wonderful dogs and share stories. Congrats to Bernie and Andi on their awesome Meet. They sold the two highest sellers! And it couldn't have happened to nicer people!

It was nice to see Pat Dalton again and visit with his son John and girlfriend, Cat. I wish I had gotten one of the Dalton females up for auction but I got outbid on all of them. Maybe next year!

Tomorrow will be Swahili Eile*'s very first American breeding. And it will be my own. To Shy To Say will be bred to him. I now have his sire number from the NGA. I will freeze him later on this week and ship to EZ Greyhound farm first as Judy Jones has clients waiting to breed to him. He is a bargain at $500 and Pat Dalton had very nice words to say about the dog. He is nothing less than class. I am starting him at $500 to give everyone a chance to get him at this fee. Just like we did with Maryville Rumble*. This is one of Roanokee's absolute best offspring and I cannot say enough good things about this dog. He is class from nose to tail.

Hondo Dingle* will be here soon! They want 50 vials available in Ireland prior to exportation and that should be accomplished any day. He is an official sponser of the Night Of Stars.

Thank you to everyone who I talked with this weekend and all of their kind words about our stud dogs. We are very grateful for all of our patrons and fans of our dogs. I met a kind man this weekend who was a big Hondo Dingle fan and it is absolutely awesome to talk to people about the dogs. Thanks to everyone who asked about Ozzie. He is great but missed "Mom" a bunch. He will always be the peoples greyhound. He brought joy to so many people throughout his incredible career. And look out...I hear there are some pretty special Red Thunder pups that will be gracing the NGA oval in April 2008! Uncle Ozzie will be with them every step of the way!!!
