Sometimes it's bad news

With greyhound racing I'm sure most of you know, sometimes it's not always good news. While this week we did have good news of Lass heading to her forever home we also had bad news.

On Tue evening we received a call from our trainer at Southland that Hydro Bomb broke her leg =( that's her in the first photo

Hydro was carried to another vet's office on Wed and it was found that while yes there was a slab fracture the real damage was ligaments. NOT GOOD. Actually a sister to Hyrdo had this same injury and basically now, after 3 months in and out (mostly in) a vets office she is headed to a forever home.

A few phone calls were made and GPA-Nashville is willing to take her in and make sure she gets fixed up and into that forever home she so deserves. HUGE THANK YOUS to GPA-Nashville.

If for some reason you find you have a few extra $$ and you're thinking of making a donation, GPA-N is one of the best groups we have ever worked with.

Now for the other bad news. On Friday night we missed a call and then on Sat morning remembered to check our phone messages.

Seems as if Redeem, who was running in TX also broke his leg.

Kevin chatted with the kennel owner on Sat and Redeem was PTS.

Sadly Redeem had won his race and was back at the bunny box when another dog came bearing down and ran right into him.

Busting up Redeem's leg very badly :(

While we do try our very best to make sure each and everyone of our greyhounds finds his/her forever home, sometimes even the best made plans go to pot.

I debated about posting this info as I want this site to be fun and upbeat. But I also don't feel that only good, warm, fuzzy info should solely be posted. So I hope you understand my mind set when posting such sad news as today's post.

It's not to make people sad or upset, but I want this blog to be informative and sometimes that info is not always good news.

GOD SPEED Redeem
