Back on track about the pets of Fishdoggie. On Sat there was a transport done by Heather and I mentioned that there was 6 hounds in transport but only 4 were moving on to GFNC. (I'll chat about those 4 tomorrow)
Above are the 2 girls that moved to their forever home. One is Denim Days. The first photo, Red girl. In that photo you see Denim is giving someone raspberries. Well that someone that Denim is giving raspberries to is now her Dad, Ken.(Heather's DH)
It's actually quite a story of how all things come together for a reason and this is no different with Ken and Denim. Oh, Denim has a new name and it is now Bindi.
OK so on to the story. Ken's love for the greyhounds started down in TX. A special racer he use to follow was a girl named Slatex Shell. Who just turns out to be Bindi's Grand Dam on her Dad's side. Ken didn't know this when Bindi stole his heart over a year ago. What a shocker it was for Ken to go home and look up Bindi's info on Greyhound Data and find out the relation. Yup things happen for a reason.
Now on to that photo of that black dog. Who is she? Well, she is a very special girl to many, especially me. Her name is Lighting Lee. LL (shorting for typing purposes) Anyway, LL has been a Fishdoggie for many years. She started out her racing life in our Mobile kennel. LL has always had a bit of a shy side to her. Even being a shy girl she has been a super racer and retired at just shy of her 4th Birthday. Which actually TODAY is LL's B'day. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
I knew that Heather had followed along with LL just as much as I did and many others. Also Heather would always visit with LL anytime she was at B'ham picking up hounds for transport.
I just dropped an ever so slight hint to Heather that if she really wanted to take LL home that it would be OK with me.
Sure enough Heather could not leave this special girl behind so along she went to live with Heather and Ken and the rest of their pack.
CONGRATS to Heather, Ken, Bindi and LL.
Yaaaaaay! I've been waiting for this post :) We love our girls...they've blended right in and are making every day just a little bit brighter. Ken has "his girl" and LL has become my shadow (which is a good thing, b/c at least I know she's not getting into trouble when she's in my line of sight LOL )
