My Most Recent Trial and At Work With Mum

Hey guys, sorry its been a while, have been very busy doing.. you know... "dog stuff" LOL
well I trialed again the other day and i am proud to say, I ran a faster time then the first time i ran.. I ran 305m in 17.9 seconds ! woohoo !

Also the neighbours have been complaining about my constant chitter chatter so I have ended up at work with mum for a week YAY! I have been told that if i dont stop talking to myself for all hours of day and night I will be re-united with my old enemy.. the barking muzzle :-( I hope it doesnt come to this and that I learn to keep my mouth shut when I am told.

Trials =)

OMG, what a supprise that was. My trainers came home, let us out of our kennels to toilet and then I ended up in the back of the car, which is completly out of routine. So anyway... the other dogs were loaded back into their kennels and fed their dinner. My trainers and I hit the road, I had no idea where we were going so this was very exciting. I eventually went to sleep in the back of the car and when I woke up again, I recognised exactly where I was. So I was let out to be "emptied" and I was then placed back into the car for a rest. After a few hours my trainer came and collected me from the car, put my wire racing muzzle on and lead me (well i was leading actually haha) to the racetrack. We walked around to the starting boxes, and walked into the boxing area, my trainer was given the "all clear" and my collar was removed and before I knew it i was in box 4 and waiting for the traps to open ! The lids lifted up and I shot out like a flash, trying my hardest to catch up to that lure (I almost caught it at one point at the first corner). As I past the winning post I got closer and closer to the lure and then....... "got it" =) . My trainer let me play with the lure for a little bit, but then the lure and I had to go our seperate ways so the other dogs could trial too. I ran 305m in 18.21seconds I was very proud of myself and it made my trainer very happy. Then it was back to the car for a drink and the long ride home.

I am a big black dog by Elite State out of Ella Lee. I have 7 litter mates (they have all already started their careers). My litter mates are My Bad Jonny,Still No Wives,Stately Babe,Sedgebrook Lee, Sedgebrook Elite, Rhoda Holmes and Karla Lewinsky. You can find our race profiles here http://www.thedogs.co.nz/greyhounds/profiles.aspx Then just type in our race names and it will come up...

I am going for a trial at the Wanganui race track on friday and am hoping to make my trainer proud.

Watch out for me as my career unfolds and I become the race dog I was born to be.
