My Dogs

I have been dog-obsessed since I was 8 years old. I am currently owned by 2 retired racing greyhounds, Clifford and Jack.  Their antics, mischievousness and overall presence are a huge influence on my work. I love them to pieces!

Clifford (Halftime Kid) and Jack (FF Jackhammer)

I adopted my first greyhound, Lucy, in 2001. She passed away in March of 2010, sadly, from complications we believe were from squamous cell carcinoma in her nasal cavity/throat. Goodbye, my beautiful girl…

My first greyhound, Lucy (PW's Dixiesquick). We miss her terribly.

I try to keep the dogs active with daily neighborhood walks, weekend hiking, camping trips, playdates with doggy friends, etc etc. Here are some highlights!

Yes, greyhounds CAN skijor! We love going out in the winter (Heiberg Forest).

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. 

For me they are the role model for being alive.  ~Gilda Radner
