Happy Holidays!

Gabe and Lemmy are ready for Christmas

 

Happy holidays from us to you!

News and Updates

Well unfortunately Mo didn’t work out, not through any fault of his own. We have a very non-dog savvy cat who does things like running 90mph to try and get the dogs to chase him. Poor Mo wasn’t sure what to think of it, but in order to keep the cat from getting squished or eaten we decided not to chance it. So Lemmy will be an only dog for a while longer – at least until things settle down with baby Gabe and we’re all getting more than a couple hours of sleep at night. I am hoping to enter Lemmy in the Lake City shows in early October and we’re planning on going to the SOMOS NOTRA meet at the end of October.

SOMOS NOTRA 11/19

Lemmy did great in his second meet, coming in 2nd, 2nd and 4th in his 3 races. He bounces all the way to the box, he loves it and runs with everything he’s got. Tony Crafts got some wonderful pictures of him.

Goodbye Nemo

On 11/5/11 we said goodbye to Nemo (Shaldra Mikater Elam), the best damn dog in the world. We adopted him 14 yrs ago just before his second birthday. We were his 5th or 6th home and he came with issues – severe crate anxiety and he didn’t trust people at all. He warmed up to us eventually and … Click here to read more.

SOMOS Jax NOTRA 10/29

Lemmy was entered in his first oval meet last weekend. He won his first race handily and got tough draws for his second two, in which he placed 4th and 3rd. He came in 25th out of 44 whippets and was high opposite D dog. He is crazy for the lure and really loves to race.

The only way to safely handle Michael Vick, is face down by the scruff of the neck. If you’d like a Vick of your own to chew on, see: http://www.officialvickdogchewtoy.com/

Happy 16th birthday Nemo!!

Our Nemo turned 16 today, quite a feat after being diagnosed with lymphosarcoma 5 months ago. He lost an eye, defeated mast cell cancer, liposarcoma and survived having a 1 lb lipoma removed at 13.5 yrs old. We celebrated with a special birthday meal – in his salad days he used to get a birthday Whopper but as he’s aged … Click here to read more.

Lemmy – 18 months

We went to Ponte Vedra beach last weekend and got some nice shots of Lemmy. He delighted in chasing birds, jumping in the surf, tossing seashells in the air and looking for crabs.
