I'm not worrying though...Daiz did this same thing when she first got into maiden, then again in D, then shot up to C and did it again...she just has to find her stride and learn how to go around the big dogs and she'll be fine...I hope... Bonnie Boo is at the farm and most likely won't be returning to the oval. That pretty girl is going to make someone a stunning pet!!! Much love from your Auntie Nan, Bonnie Bad Ass...much love.

NEXT!
Wednesday, 9/13: Daisy runs in the 5th race, 2nd box tonight. Sophie runs in the 1st race, 2nd box in the matinee races today. Friday, 9/15: Casey runs in the 13th race, 1st box. Daiz has dropped back down to a TB race...which may mean that she could go back up to A when she figures out what to do? Come on babygirl, just hang on till March, huh? Casey has also dropped down to B after a LONG run in A. Sophie has moved back up to grade C! Way to go, pretty girl!!!

Up and Coming and an Update
Thursday, 9/7 - FTH Hurrycane, 7th race, 4th box Friday, 9/8 - FTH Sophie Sox, 6th race, 3rd box Saturday, 9/9 - FTH Oopsie Daisy, 14th race, 8th box; FTH Hallie Pino, 7th race, 6th box From "bugsmom" on GT: I have emailed Nan before about one of her pets-"Profile" was in Curcie Kennel in Sanford when I worked for them. He was retired because his toe kept popping out. She posted on GT and I told her that was the reason he retired and not to freak about it just take him to the vet and learn how to pop it back in. Daisy is going to be just fine. She is not quite sure yet how to keep up with the big kids in A but she is going to be fine- she tries really hard and she isn't looking like she is getting her head banged in. I think that once she gets her confidence up when she is going around dogs she will be a nice A dog and a great pet!
