Update on Petals & Romero in their new home
Petals and Romero are getting along wonderfully in their new home from the reports I am getting from their new owners Michael & Michelene Cappas and their daughters. They are their first Whippets and they just had Romero neutered. They spend their days playing with their squirrel toy and letting the neighbor dogs know they are there when they pass by the house.
Here are some pics of them in their new home.

Yesterday's activities
Joanne, George & Michelle all went to the WRA race up in New Jersey.
It was a 44 dog meet...
10th - Ripley!! Not bad for a show bred boy ;)
14th - Aren, Murphy's son
23rd - Trick
24th - Avery
25th - Derby
Not bad as it was most of the kids first WRA Meet!!! They are doing the NOTRA today and we are waiting for results :)
Mom went lure coursing (AKC) in Rocky Mount, NC
Open Stake - 24 dogs
2nd - GiGi for 3 LCX points
3rd - Rupert for 2 LCX points
Field Champion Stake - 13 dogs
2nd - Tigger for 2 LCX points
Also - Helen, Tinsley, Francois & Christian all got to practice. Helen and Francois ran two whole courses! Tinsley practiced half a course but we have decided to keep her on straights until this fall as she is so fast that she isn't great on turns right now. It was getting dark when mom praciticed Christian, so they bumped the lure for him and I heard he was much more enthusiastic for the bunny on Saturday when he had more time to watch it in the light :)
Will update on today's news when I get it!!!

Our weekend at home...
Mom stayed home this weekend and we had the family over last night - got the lawn mowed and did some house work. The dogs are enjoying their weekend home, though I don't think they would have minded being out on the coursing field :) I'm going to try and get some candids of the kids outside playing in the freshly mowed lawn. The pups had fun playing with the lunge whip lure yesterday and will have another play session with it again today. They had a blast.
I also forgot to post about recent health testing from the National - mom had Rupert Cardiac Echo'd - completely normal, just waiting on his number
Glenda had Leo and Brom CERF & BAER tested, completely normal and Leo was also Cardiac tested and that was normal as well.
Jane also had Magnum CERF, BAER & Cardiac tested which was also all normal.
Leigh was also CERF'd again the other weekend and totally normal. Still waiting on the Myostatin Deficency tests for some of ours kids and will post when we get them. We did find out the GiGi and Viva's sisters were N/B (Carriers) so we don't know what to expect with our two girls but should know soon :)
Petals and Romero went to their new home and are settling in great, they absolutely love them. They might get to play around on the coursing field a bit but they are basically just couch potatos at the moment and loving it. Wallace has also found his new forever home but at the moment he is still hanging out at Shannon Down. He'll probably leave to his new home in a few weeks.
My baby Crested girl, "Apoll" is growing up and looking beautiful - will post new photos of her sometime today. She is just as cute as could be and is using her little legs and wagging her tail - she's starting to use her voice a bit and trying to bark and growl - though her growl sounds more like a purr - LOL She's playing with her 'stand in' littermates, two little squeaky toys. She's quiet happy with them and plays with them when she's awake.
We'll post photos later today - that's it for now!

Off for the weekend
Getting ready to pack up the crates and dogs and head down to Perry GA for shows. Leigh and Dido are entered. The judge on Sunday is our ole friend, James White, so everyone keep your fingers crossed - Dido needs 2 pts to finish! Romero and Petals are coming with me to go to their new family tomorrow - they're going together so that is nice!! Elle is coming along for the ride as is Rupert (who can't stay home:) Also delivering a dog for Suzie Hughes so she can catch a ride back to her home in Florida. Staying in the van tonight, we show at 8:30 in the am, and I will call Krystyl as soon as we are finished.
I think Blaine and Sharron and Julie and Joker are doing the ASFA Trials in Calhoun GA this weekend. Good luck,
More tomorrow...
