We are adjusting to our loss here at Hot Cha. I did get a letter from the folks from the Nitro Kennel. I had sent them a note and updated them about Tava. They love to hear how the Nitro dogs are doing in their new homes. She told me all about what happened to Tava's litter mates and informed me that they still have Nitro Ducky, Tava's mother. She even sent me this picture of her. Ducky may be retiring from brood duty this upcoming year. Wouldn't it be great if she could come to Montana when she retired? I let the kennel know I am willing to at least foster her if we can orchestrate it. We will see how it pans out.

We have had a little bit of movement in the greyhound community. We were asked to take in a greyhound boy from a family that had moved here from out of state. Currently Rocket is in Billings and being evaluated. Initial reports are that he is a very nice and handsome boy. Nitro Dorris was also returned. This was a case of a mis-match. Dori is a bit on the timid side and the activity of a family home was overwhelming to her. As painful as it was her home decided to let her go so she could try to find a better match. Dori is at Tripps and being evaluated and will start her search for the perfect spot for her. Run is still here. She is as active and fun as she can be. She is a bright little cookie...she can be a little demanding....but what a girl!! She my two younger girls, Iris and Tava go out to play together often. They make quite a trio all bundled up. The weather has been mostly over cast and chilly but not horrible cold or wet. We are all ready for some sun.
