    On my way back from the cold NorthEast. I am spending the night in Woodstock, VA. Tomorrow I am back home in FL. Perhaps I can warm up a little?

    Let’s see….. I have been off of FB for almost 3 days now….. I have a whole bunch of unread email….. I have a friend in deep personal trouble…. and so on. Man, leave for a while and the world falls apart.

    All 428 messages in my inbox taken care of. I am leaving 4 there that I need to deal with tomorrow. This scares me. email messages are like rabbits, they will grow and multiply overnight.

    Good morning everyone!
    The AccuWindow ™ says that the weather outside is cold and snowy. A quick check of the conditions by the AccuPerson(tm) while I went out to start the car to see if it will warm up says it is cold and snowy as well. So, it is cold and snowy in Rocky Hill, CT. The weatherman says it isn’t supposed to get much over 15 degrees all day today and that we may be at the high this morning already. BRRRrrrrr.
    On the good news…. I counted yesterday, I have 32 volunteers to come to Florida and be my administrative assistant. LOL Someone told me the snow is my fault! “My fault?” Yup, “Mother Nature decided to get even because you have been sort of laughing at my friends up North lately and she wanted to remind my what she can do.” OK, I guess there may be some logic to that theory….. someplace.

  • I have no idea what tear-jerker movie I watched on the hallmark channel but my favorite lines of the movie are worth repeating (and I wish I could figure out who to give credit to):

    “They say in Africa every morning an antelope wakes up and knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. They say that every morning when a lion wakes up it must run faster than the tastes antelope or it will starve. See, it doesn’t matter who you are but what matters is when you wake up you are running.”

    Now I know where my track coach from years back got the line. I never knew.

    For about a week now I have been trying to figure out what the breakdown is between some greyhound racing professionals and some greyhound racing adoption people. I think I have finally figured it out…. both groups want to tell each other how to run their businesses. The surprising thing is that both groups are after the same thing…. racing done right and the betterment (is that a word) of the breed.

    Think about it…..
    1) We know without the greyhound professionals we would not have the great dogs we have for adoption. It costs a lot of time and money to prepare these dogs for racing. The professionals on this group have a ton of pride in their dogs.
    2) Without the adoption people stepping in over the last 10 years and placing the dogs (sometimes at considerable time and expense) we would not have racing anymore. The court of public opinion would have shut it down.

    Now therein comes the problem:
    1) There are still adoption people who use the term “rescue” as that is what they were doing years back. By years back I mean as recently as 3 years back with one track. Problem solved. But, the use of that term undermines the work done by the good professionals that have worked hard at changing public opinion.
    2) There are still racing owners who do not donate 1 dime to adoption. The good racing owners say, “don’t take their dogs”, the adoption people say, “then what happens to the dog?” This undermines the adoption people and the racing owners who have done a lot to change public opinion.

    There is no right or wrong here. I really wish both groups could come to an understanding that it is really all about the dog and the love of the breed. So, everyone gets so upset over the “r” word. Then other people get upset over the people getting upset over the “r” word. Then the fighting starts, people get disgusted and walk away from the conversation…..

    Is it about the “r” word or is it really about the “G” word, as in Greyhound ?

    I missed two birthdays a few days ago! Lady and Leona turned three on the 16th. Guess I will have to give them their birthday treats when I get home.
