The weekend is here

The first snow of the season has come and now it's gone. if I hadn't seen it coming down, I'd've never've known it had fallen. Damn this year has gone fast, can't believe Thanksgiving is next week.

Today's going to be a lot of fun as well as exciting. There are currently 13 borzoi entered, not sure if John or Mary is goign to show up, but could pop that up to 5 points each day. But even so, with Novel, Indigo, Gossip & Focus, will make for some exciting running. Will be interesting to see how Focus matches up against everyone, and if we can get Carrot to box, him too. . May take Tip tomorrow and work on her with the box so she can come out.

Funny, got told the rumor mongers are at it again, accusing me of AVOIDING competition because I wasn't willing to drive 22 hrs to the nationals. Yep, that's why I contacted FOUR different people offering to pay them a nice chunk of change towards gas if they would take Gossip for me, Nancy had already offered to take her off their hands, keep her for the weekend, and return her to them for the trip home. One of them didn't go due to the cost (Snoopy only does Straights, really not worth the cost for one day of racing), and Carol & Robin didn't have the extra room in their car for Gossip to fit, and Jaime wasn't sure she was going until the last minute. . but because Gossip didn't go, I'm AFRAID of them . .bah, they're full of sh*t. Tho I'm glad I didn't WASTE my money, as it was only a 12 dog meet. .sad for the Midwest for a National

If I was AVOIDING competition, I wouldn't've gone to the Nationals last year, ya know, the one that put my bitch up for 7 months with an injury?

Once again I offer them (Since I know they read this blog), put your money where your mouth is. You travel all over the South to go coursing, have no problems in fact doing that, so come on up here. I, OTOH, have physical issues that keep from doing it. I just can't do all night driving sessions and sleeping a few hours in my car is not an option with my health.

National's'll be up this way next year, come on up! If you think I should travel in your direction to run, you know, the door goes both ways, you should be able to handle driving up here. And since at least three people ya'll talk to have seen Gossip run and SAID she deserves her accolades, maybe ya should listen to them.

Come on up, I'd love for her to have some more FAST competition. If I was AVOIDING it, there's no way in hell I'd be taking First, Focus & Carrot out, and encouraging Wizard out and hoping Bartleby will come. Nor would I send out mass invitations to come on out. AVOIDING it would be going to NH or MN where there's no Borzoi running lOL And I've NEVER been one to do that crap!

Wahoo

So, took Gossip & Grins to the front pasture, gave the spawn of satan the squawker and told him when I raised my hand, to squawk it, once.

Got about 2/3 of the way down the field, turned, unleahsed the monsters, and waved.

And without looking back or at Grins who was riding her shoulder, Gossip spun away

WAHOO!!!!

And as to my prior rant LOL Looking at the results, even if I hadn't ran Whirlwind for Bonnie, and even Eros, it would've affected the points ONCE LOL. . .in 17 events. . .there has been enough dogs at every event to make sure the 2nd place dog gets the most points possible. . only one did it have any real barring on Gossip's NGRC points

Just goes to show SOUR GRAPES LOL

jealousy

Is such a lovely thing, isn't it?

Someone sent me a link to a breeder i do not respect(for a wide variety of reasons including being two faced), where she is ranting over my ad that Gossip finished her SGRC undefeated.

She fails to understand that she did it beating most dogs younger than her. .yep, I took some of my older guys who run out, because they enjoy it and in hopes of finishing a title or two on them. Dei's suddenly started running and beating dogs younger than her, so why not take her out?

She also fails to understand I take out what I'm told to take out. I've begged Bonnie to send some of her young dogs out, she doesn't want to, she has no respect for straight racing unfortunately. Hopefully she'll let me take Surya out this year, the youngsters won't go out until they've seen the coursing field.

Gods, this woman is so hypocritical, she has no problem with her buddy running around with 8 dogs, getting an SORC3 on a dog by running him with dogs 8-10+ yrs of age(same buddy got her dogs asses kicked by Izzy & Grins when we showed up when she had a huge entry), and pulling a number of the dogs after the first race, just putting them in for points. The same buddy enters ten dogs in open and pulling everyone of them but the one she wants to win, but that's her BUDDY, but she gets her panties in a bind when I take three of my dogs racing.

I don't pull my dogs unless it's too hot, which I did a couple of times last fall, when the day started nice and got too warm for Grins. If it hadn't, he'd've kept running.


I have no idea what her freaking problem is. .. my good friend says she's jealous, and worried, she's held top Borzoi in LGRA for the last few years, and Gossip's got a chance of taking that away.

Gossip has ran against all comers, older and younger. She's stupid if she can't see that, but oh wait, she's the reason(partially) that Gossip got named Gossip, cuz she and her friends were slandering the entire litter, because they were 1/4 shefaro, and 1/2 pickle hill. They even tried to ruin a puppysale for me.

Even more hypocritical, NOW she has a 1/2 pickle hill bitch, talk about IRONIC!!

I'm so glad the entries in the NE have gotten bigger again. She's beat some fast dogs, from Casino, to Cal, to Una, to Izzy, to Raven, to Wizard, to Jojo, to Novel, to Grins, to oh what is that little tri's name that is from Massachusetts, damn, can't think of her name, oh, Orleans! None of them to sniffle at, all of them fast dogs. All of them, even the one bred by this idiot, are nice dogs. And all but maybe Casino & Grins are younger than Gossip.

But hey, ya know what, I can just grin and smile, as her #1 dog isn't undefeated, no matter what his fan club tried to spread up in the NE a few years back. Wings beat him the 1st time out, or she could probably say the same damn thing.

But then, from what I was told she doesn't like racing anymore, because dogs growl at the end and her oh so soft weenie dogs were put off by it and she packed her bags up at one event and went home because of it.

If she truly thinks Gossip's crap, put her money where her mouth is, but since at least two of her good friends say otherwise about Gossip, maybe she should listen!!!

Hope Gossip will run the oval next weekend!
