Ahhhh summer!!!! I feel like we have finally reached the warm weather. It feels so good!!! The dogs are able to go out to play more and they all seem to love napping in the sun and taking a turn in the wading pool. Anyone who is thinking of getting a wading pool better do it right away. If this warm weather lasts very long they will be hard to find. The greyhounds have had more visitors. Jennifer and her two girls came out and spent an afternoon between Tripps and my house. They have had a greyhound in the past and are anxious to have another one. Jennifer went home and immediately filled out an application. I love it when that happens. She got in touch with us when she went to visit the greyhounds at PetsMart.

A couple of items for your calendar. June 14th is the picnic. We need volunteers to help plan and to get donations. I am offering lawn camping to anyone who wants to come up early and stay late. Years ago we had a camping greyhound picnic....it was a hoot!!!

This week end is some AKC lure coursing in Missoula. Sunday is a lure course fun match. I will be there with some of my gang. For directions go to http://www.fivevalleykennelclub.org/
find the link for the match premium. They are planning to start running dogs just after 9 AM. So bring a lawn chair and some lunch and enjoy the day. Might want to leave your hounds at home...it is only for AKC registered dogs and it may be hot. Want to know about lure coursing?

The one thing I love about attending a lure course is the chance to see other breeds of sight hounds running. I am not sure who will be there but I know there will be ridgebacks, borzoi, whippets, greyhounds, wolfhounds...might also be an Ibizan hound or two.
