Pictured is a gorgeous Fine Silver* x Fuzzys Raven pup owned by Carey Tamerius and raised by Penny McDonald. Penny does an awesome job with Carey's pups!

Jade Alleway is enroute to the US right now and we will be picking her up at the airport this afternoon. Her father, Colin, was involved in a very serious head on collision in England on his way to work. He is currently in intensive care. Jade wanted to cancel her trip but Colin insisted she come over to the US as this trip has been planned for months. We wish Colin, who is one of our regular chatters and a great friend to us, well wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Jade and I will be departing for Florida later next week. First track will be Derby Lane! We have an appointment to meet Ardkill Jamie as well as tour the D'Arcy's kennels to meet some of our own babies and a meeting with Pat and Randy Floyd to meet Brady Thomas and Hometown Boy! Top Australian trainer, Rob Britton will be there as well as many other Australian greyhound fans. We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. From Derby Lane we will definately be visiting our "home team" in Jacksonville - the B&J Kennel to see everyone and see our babies who are down there running. The rest of the trip is up in the air....Disney World is a possibilty. We want to see as many people/tracks/ kennels as we can.

As usual Dr. Barber and I have been crazy with implants...as soon as a load leaves more come in from all directions!

Doug Allen's Rumble pups will be going to the McMillon Kennel in Tri-State and three to MJG Greyhounds in Florida. We are pretty excited about this crop of pups. Good luck to Doug with his Rumbles!

We have discussed setting up a blog for Jade. I will see if this is something she wants to do when she gets here. We will be posting tons of pics from our Florida trip too!
