Some results while I'm waiting for Daisy...

Okay, well, I thought it was amusing...

Saturday, Sophie ran on the matinee card. Not a great showing...she came in dead last with a time of 32.01. But she is running in grade C...

Hallie and Casey ran yesterday afternoon. Hallie just missed an ITM finish, coming in fifth with a time of 31.81. The fourth place dog ran 31.71. Casey crossed the wire with a time of 31.69, but only came in 6th place.

Come on Daisy girl, remind your siblings what it's like to win!! She runs tonight in the 10th race, 6th box, so I'm hoping she can use the fact that she's not dead in the middle to her advantage to scoot around and to the rail.

News on Bonnie Boo: She had a bit of a stomach bug it seems, and that's why she didn't do so well in her last race. It is not the cough, and thankfully isn't a more serious injury. Paws all crossed here that Bad Ass Bonnie will come back even stronger!

Wednesday...

Bonnie Boo "pulled up" and came in last in her race tonight. I hope that she's okay.

Manic Monday and Terrific Tuesday

Ugh, not so good for Sophie, though she has moved up to GRADE B so to be expected... She barely missed ITM, coming in 5th with a time of 31.58. Hallie pulled out a third place ITM finish tonight, with a time of 31.18! She is also running in grade B.

Tomorrow night is Casey, Bonnie, and Daisy's chance to shine...paws crossed for a couple of ITMs and Bonnie breaking her maiden!

Weekend Updates So Far...

Casey: 2nd place, still in Grade A, a blistering time of 30.90!!

Bonnie: 6th place, still in Grade D, her time was 32.45 but it looks like she is checking the first turn because again, her comments reference it.

Daisy runs today. All fingers and paws are crossed here for a win or ITM!

Another Leelo Goes Home!



Those beautiful brown eyes belong to Daisy's sister, Windy-Bear (FTH Runforcover). She left from Jacksonville to go home with her new family last week, and I'm a little slow in posting it because I've been out of town. Windy has soft fur to match her soft eyes, and is just an all around good girl. Enjoy your retirement, sweetie pie!!

Auntie Leah is Awesome!!

Leah is in Florida right now on her vacation, and she went to SOKC today! She caught Daisy's race and got some pictures of Daisy and Bonnie.

First, Miss Bonnie Boo:
Bonnie Boo!

And now, my babygirl:
FTH Oopsie Daisy

Go Daisy Go!!

She tried really hard anyway...

Daisy's run today wasn't so awesome...she came in seventh, but this is only her second race in grade C so I'm not too worried. She had a time of 32.16 which is way off from her recent times. Babygirl just had a bad day...Bonnie didn't do so well either, she came in last in her race with a time of 32.45.

We'll get 'em next time Daiz.

Lackluster Weekend

Sadly, only Hallie came in with an ITM finish of fourth place on Saturday afternoon. Her time was 31.37. Casey just missed ITM coming in 5th with a time of 31.52...but he is running in Grade A so I guess he can't win them all.

Daisy runs tonight in C...go babygirl go!!

Results and Upcoming Races

Bonnie came in fourth Thursday night after getting bumped in the first turn according to her lines. Better luck next time girl! Be the "Bad Ass" we all know you are!
Sophie pulled out another first place win Friday night with a time of 31.34. Way to go pretty girl!!! Hallie and Casey run today and Daisy runs on Monday...IN GRADE C!!! Keep it up, Leelo Babies!!

And you, Miss Daisy, there's a pretty leash and harness from Auntie Trish in the works for little girls that try hard and do their best on the track...just don't tell your big sister Jeany. She thinks you get stuff like that just for being pretty...
