<br />
All except Sparx...are retired show dogs that love to sleep in bed under the covers. We don't do much showing at this time...but shoot as much as possible at this point...still striving for my lifetime goal in the sport of trapshooting (which I will reveal if it ever happens). <br />
<br />
Tyler is growing up fast and does a bit of shooting also. I'll try to keep up with my blogging...I promise.<br />
<br />
Off to shoot some practice tomorrow...then Sunday morning off to NY to shoot with my good friend Chris Vendel. <br />
<br />
Till next time.<br />

Lots of things going on...down to three Whippets right now. I did breed Vanna and she's expecting sometime round the 2nd week in January. <br />
<br />
I've been shooting a lot lately and have an awesome squad consisting of Dennis Cacciola Sr, Mary Ann Cacciola, Brian James and Glenn Zullick. Dennis was High Over All in the LVTL last year, and I won High Lady. We are a bit dysfunctional, but this year Dennis is once again in competition for HOA. <br />
I've met some wonderful new people in the shooting world that although I've been shooting like FOREVER...never knew personally. <br />
Several things I'm working on with shooting....but won't divulge them here until it/they actually happen. <br />
<br />
Right now Tyler is heading to Disney World with his dad and cousin, and I'm sure he'll have a super fantastic time. I will certainly miss him on Christmas Day, but I'm happy for him. <br />
<br />
I've lost my job two days ago and for the past two days I've been hanging out with my BF Christine and her hubby Kevin...baking cookies and filing for unemployment and searching for jobs. <br />
<br />
Guess that's about it for now...I try to keep up with my postings...but other than Vanna's babies coming it'll be most about shooting. <br />
<br />
Stay safe and kiss your hounds.<br />

Figurin' on doin' a bit of sleigh fixin', I realized it wasn't the sleigh, but Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen.<br /><br /> As I was looking at Santa's reindeer lying in the ditch water that was so murky...lo and behold, along comes the butchers meat wagon....looking to make some Christmas Jerky.<br /><br /> I stopped in Virginia to get some grub...a cute little waitress in an elf suit asked, "Merry Christmas, what can I get ya honey?" I told her, "Bacon and Eggs, and oh by the way, did you hear that Santa's reindeer are being ground up for money?"<br /><br /> I finally hit the North Carolina border while listening to some tunes that are kinda sad...when all of a sudden, Michael Jackson starts singing my song....I'm Bad.<br /><br /> As I'm driving along, I'm taking a mental inventory of the "beverages" I can count....I search for "Liquor or State Store" in the GPS...and it says, "dumb shit, you're in the South". So I think it's time for this Interstate and I to depart...and start looking for the local WalMart.<br /><br /> Here it is now Christmas Eve, looking for a place to stay the night. Hoping Santa finds some more reindeer, so he can find my site. Tyler will be looking for some presents come Christmas morn, and if there's none, I'm sure he'll be torn.<br /><br /> As for myself, there's nothing I want under the Christmas tree.....oh, except for that 6' tall muscle bound Cabana boy, sent here to serve only me.......oh and for all my friends and family to EAT, DRINK and BE MERRY.<br /><br />MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!The Eclipse Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07616262692799507234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623512564395039619.post-85477342464088343272010-10-28T19:05:00.000-07:002010-10-28T19:14:11.576-07:00The Truth about Zoey<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533283680317253602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOp3psB6rjZ2j0IdVBbzB5KjgVQFWrt5Xd792yQH6KtXzNlnKpwvlQiVSewojsFJZul1CFWSykOTL52tMUwo5DBHjXuzXp69DRo4d8Yo03r6ITpkgTxOhmSh_Ix7RQ_NsfI4jKosl2fYC/s400/ZoeyWheels.jpg" /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em>When I was young, I rose to the top,</em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><em></em></span></strong> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em>In my middle years, I was the one </em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em>everyone talked about,</em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><em></em></span></strong> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em>In my last years, I let nothing keep </em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em>me from what I wanted,</em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><em></em></span></strong> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><strong><em>Don't let anyone EVER tell you that your </em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;"><strong>best days are behind you.</strong></span> </em></span></div><br /><div align="center">I stole this inspirational message about Zoey that was on her FB page. </div><div align="center">Thanks Jonathan for these words. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>The Eclipse Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07616262692799507234noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623512564395039619.post-71185850081974695992010-10-26T16:22:00.000-07:002010-10-26T16:32:42.088-07:00Zoey's 1 year anniversary Tribute<p>Here is a slide show I put together of my heart dog Zoey.

The Pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need Cyanide?" The lady replied, "To poison my husband."<br /><br />The Pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kind of bad things will happen. Absolutely NOT!!! You CANNOT have any cyanide." <br /><br />The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the Pharmacist's wife. The Pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, that's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."The Eclipse Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07616262692799507234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623512564395039619.post-28350943787951228262010-06-27T06:04:00.000-07:002010-06-27T06:17:56.846-07:00Tom's Golf Cart AccidentThe Pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium.<br /><br />She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband Tom had a terrible golf cart wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."<br /><br />You could hear a muffled gasp from the men inthe congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Tom must have experienced..."Tom was unable to hold me or the children" she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remains of Tom's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."<br /><br />Again the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom. "Now", she announced, "thank the lord, Tom is out of the hospital, and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum will recover completely."<br /><br />All the men sighed with relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.<br /><br />A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Tom". The entire congregation held it's breath. "I just want to tell my wife that the word is "sternum".The Eclipse Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07616262692799507234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623512564395039619.post-15484105337275515692010-06-27T05:45:00.000-07:002010-06-27T06:03:32.888-07:00Generic PharmacyIn Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic name. For example Tylenol has a generic name of Acetaminophen, Aleve is also called Naproxen, Amoxil is also calles Amoxicillin, and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.<br /><br />The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on a generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizen, Dixafix and of course Ibepokin.<br /><br />Pfizer corportation announced today that Viagra will be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it give new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of; "Mount & Do".<br /><br />Thought for the day:<br />There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by the year 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely NO recollection of what to do with them.The Eclipse Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07616262692799507234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623512564395039619.post-59646718775305490122010-06-27T05:33:00.000-07:002010-06-27T05:45:14.957-07:00Blake....9/8/97-6/18/10<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeL8g_7FvNxxS2z4nXCce2a0KasLughIaUPVE8VqdFzVls3uIzGRTkHQykqO1GlBV8878BPlAeTQYo-S2pw7Kf8MaaKBI37Z18qJbUjz3eNs8qukwYQoBZyJWRBVm5blUZpmgGOw1rmD2/s1600/Blake.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 110px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487433517578375842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZeL8g_7FvNxxS2z4nXCce2a0KasLughIaUPVE8VqdFzVls3uIzGRTkHQykqO1GlBV8878BPlAeTQYo-S2pw7Kf8MaaKBI37Z18qJbUjz3eNs8qukwYQoBZyJWRBVm5blUZpmgGOw1rmD2/s200/Blake.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Blake was a 1/2 brother to my incomparable Zoey.

She was a stubborn puppy, never coming when called, chewed up most everything she could get ahold of, and destuffed and desqueaked every stuffie or toy ever given to her. Debbie's daughter Amanda really disliked Zoey because of this, but we certainly knew she was special as she always had such a spirit and personality like none other.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHKsTpQ4TvNVC1NebVyRh3CShs6kLRvcd2AZinlri1kP_OeO93EpskfsExSMgZvZbtYdxLTCiK9ag9g5cAdb1vnhxY78wbx-u8zgGoFHlvgUb9xfpfez6OHH66v0P3mFqx5Azs53eecYZ/s1600-h/oHP00009309.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 191px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401169643188461186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHKsTpQ4TvNVC1NebVyRh3CShs6kLRvcd2AZinlri1kP_OeO93EpskfsExSMgZvZbtYdxLTCiK9ag9g5cAdb1vnhxY78wbx-u8zgGoFHlvgUb9xfpfez6OHH66v0P3mFqx5Azs53eecYZ/s200/oHP00009309.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Upon hitting the show ring at 6 months of age she was Reserve Winners at the 2002 Eastern Specialty. Following this up the following weekend winning her first point and Best Puppy In Show. The end of July saw Zoey in Canada winning another Best Puppy In Show.

Zoey would walk on water for Amanda, but not really let her know that she would. They were the perfect team out in that show ring, and Amanda & Zoey's first Best In Show came in 2003 in Canada, this qualified Zoey for the Show of Shows held at the Ottawa Kennel Club. There is some different judging system for the Show of Shows, something with 3 different judges, and she won the Hound Group, making her Canada's Hound of the Year 2003. She was only lightly shown the rest of 2003.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsIipVzRMkKQNeo2OymTTr-qyGpoKlnNjpp-tmmgP5ALs-dt_TNjebJdgJS7aPytpUnIy4QAiXUlygbBnrkbuDzXCrErLoZPqwhC6_FU3TmUB0cHgpms1AKmb2NL3gBn6jRDOh3px64IKG/s1600-h/Central+Maine+KC+6-20-04.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 154px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401178177106210050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsIipVzRMkKQNeo2OymTTr-qyGpoKlnNjpp-tmmgP5ALs-dt_TNjebJdgJS7aPytpUnIy4QAiXUlygbBnrkbuDzXCrErLoZPqwhC6_FU3TmUB0cHgpms1AKmb2NL3gBn6jRDOh3px64IKG/s200/Central+Maine+KC+6-20-04.jpg" /></a><br /><div>The year 2004 saw Zoey's show career take off. She was not shown much until June, but she was Best of Breed and Group 1 at the Eastern Specialty. In July Zoey won her first US Best In Show under respected judge Edd Biven who stated "he never gave a Best to any whippet before". Another Best In Show in July and another in September along with many Group wins and placements made her the #7 Whippet in 2004.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 159px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401176186723383410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7Wm59CVM-RjRqaHqTLgbEcmkcTLBMryUQ99bk9YMxhleLbnLEmvirzKXVhyhTyyS5OepbTpchLOpn0pd-YLeFHJDHVHE5pKN51MFncXokJfyX12lMjjLj8zJG38FXxoJHAtFeU3ommfI/s200/CCF01312006_00000.jpg" />In 2005 Zoey's show career went into overdrive. She started the year on the Florida circuit and won the Group at the first show of the year, and the following weekend won the Breed at the AKC Eukanuba National Championship. Her whirlwind of showing saw her win many Groups and placements until May when she was awarded Back to Back Best In Shows at the St. Clairsville Ohio Kennel Club shows. She was unstoppable at this point and continued her ways and in September at the Southern Specialty Zoey won 3 Breeds, a Specialty Best In Show, 2 Group 1's and an All-Breed Best In Show. Two more Bests in November took us into the last shows in December and of the 8 shows she was in, she was Best of Breed at all of them and won 7 Group 1's and 3 more Best In Shows. She ended 2005 as the #1 Whippet, #3 Hound and #25 amongst all breeds in the country.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9VNRgF6HRQ1YJ-HqH6XYwrIQroAjRsch5tvkTc4y5FaLhl9eJBybNoucnDSA-iRCUpnaPOOeDR5UmKiO3kbFgVDs1GnkWyAdtlIJ2pb5XPlx3u8kF4sJ380XjpC3iCfQZWPvFo3NCqFs/s1600-h/eclipse+whippets+004.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401188898444711634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9VNRgF6HRQ1YJ-HqH6XYwrIQroAjRsch5tvkTc4y5FaLhl9eJBybNoucnDSA-iRCUpnaPOOeDR5UmKiO3kbFgVDs1GnkWyAdtlIJ2pb5XPlx3u8kF4sJ380XjpC3iCfQZWPvFo3NCqFs/s200/eclipse+whippets+004.jpg" /></a><br />She continued her winning ways in 2006 with a Breed win and a Group 4 at the Westminster Kennel Club, adding 3 more Best In Shows, and in April the horror began. At a show in Harrisburg she got shooting diahrrea, and was spiking a fever of 104. On Monday she was taken to the vet and her fever was up and down, they did all kinds of tests, blood panels, mylegrams, mri's, even spinal taps were done. Nothing showed anything. She did eventually rebound, and made a nice showing at the 2006 National in Boston. She was back on track in May winning a Group 1, but her backend was weakening. June 2006 was her last show as she went totally down in the rear.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 102px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 201px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401181191382401250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDaTekJxGXQ8iM4rVfCXN4p3juSxq6Aab4Az9-MC8elCuMzW7O6cC3CJ8dtPJhfMBiHpBXBRFipgzJ4rl_0tdM4QNpP_Yrg6RMRIzHk60K1roZvubHM4g1IuO6DZ2CJtI4dvriOPqGJPkb/s200/zoeymom.jpg" />Her rear muscles were deteriorating at an amazing pace. Vets never did know what went on with her and eventually came to the conclusion that she was somehow poisoned, and the poison had left her system when the bloodscreen was done, but had done it's damage. In my minds eye, she was supposed to die with whatever was given to her, but her will to live and spirit and determination overcame, and she survived the unlikely odds. Zoey still ran the farm at Debbie's house, chasing the cats, even de-tailing one of them in her endeavors. Her condition continued to deteriorate, and on her 6th birthday 2007 she came to be with Jonathan in Florida. I did get to see my girl again when my family took a trip to Disney Orlando and met up with Jonathan at a beach. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglgRLQpmcEkZ4HoAWRS889NtsKhJaBMtAblCOv5FDq9WXLBONrchdsSVUXRs-D_vONM1U92mIkeMPfc60KJNh6J41hE04ulsVl6xyNEdh3_wmdHZoK1dYsrXWLnNgWlWWKq85Twa3plQT/s1600-h/zoeybeach2%5B1%5D.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 178px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401181195678720898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglgRLQpmcEkZ4HoAWRS889NtsKhJaBMtAblCOv5FDq9WXLBONrchdsSVUXRs-D_vONM1U92mIkeMPfc60KJNh6J41hE04ulsVl6xyNEdh3_wmdHZoK1dYsrXWLnNgWlWWKq85Twa3plQT/s200/zoeybeach2%5B1%5D.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>As Zoey ran the sunny beaches of Florida, even running away and traveling up the beach ending up at animal control, her condition had not improved.

She has even been an inspiration to them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4nHKaMVZLK5BTWstVLMDf42yhtCti0uyotpjFiqM4iFGtkhEFExGRHwTq3Jg2OVOjCzRox1_oFXr9c1T_d33JfuSNXWWDpQ-PWKOtd2XcBlwiLFtzBIUrRVHVP4ttDSCuOsesdH7gXLul/s1600-h/Zoey+August+2007.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401185282223648802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4nHKaMVZLK5BTWstVLMDf42yhtCti0uyotpjFiqM4iFGtkhEFExGRHwTq3Jg2OVOjCzRox1_oFXr9c1T_d33JfuSNXWWDpQ-PWKOtd2XcBlwiLFtzBIUrRVHVP4ttDSCuOsesdH7gXLul/s200/Zoey+August+2007.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>In the spring of 2008 Jonathan called to tell me that Zoey wasn't doing well, and the discussion of putting her down was brought up. Amongst many tears and phone calls between Debbie, Jonathan and myself, it was decided that being she wasn't in any pain, we would up her meds and see what came about and make a decision in a week or so. Zoey's amazing spirit and zest for life took over and she bounced back like a trooper. She kept on truckin' along on her wobbly backend. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 128px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401189665109059810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyRUFrDOiSiZaSPh-i9RQ6kPbwiK-ZKU3Oero6HIohctUF_Hg2_KtQi2wlmhaYbni8xrqzipo8UEw20nl9-TVM3OFi_UgALQExK982OoG76rPR6vQHhUNP7EJJy4lmi8v_Gn1KV_OC9zqD/s200/bowzoey.jpg" /><br /><div>That summer Jonathan traveled to Montana and Zoey got her first taste of the clear, cool mountain air. She loved every minute of it, being out on the boat and soaking up the NW sun. As they were returning from their trip Zoey's right leg kept popping out of it's socket and it was very painful for her. She even bit Jonathan when he tried to get it back in place. Upon returning home, Debbie, Jonathan and I went through another tearful discussion of which the vets gave us the decision of removing her leg or euthanazia. Upon much discussion about this it was decided that with Zoey's determination and spirit and will to live we gave her a chance. Her surgery went well and she rebounded with that zestful spirit for life that we all grew to know so well. We knew we made the right decision. </div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwF2Q8dy_M1KONWqxF1dhzdtvQifAuhRp6QvQKSwWroFmhAp4L3lBydtT26cgLnhgvg0sBZqevgZ6K90KIdXpnkJbZNJdNHPoXTuCFZA7aGfLN0_gh5K6r5ug56EjXScwNe31WHPdgq-u_/s1600-h/ZoeyChairpic2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401190455669087586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwF2Q8dy_M1KONWqxF1dhzdtvQifAuhRp6QvQKSwWroFmhAp4L3lBydtT26cgLnhgvg0sBZqevgZ6K90KIdXpnkJbZNJdNHPoXTuCFZA7aGfLN0_gh5K6r5ug56EjXScwNe31WHPdgq-u_/s200/ZoeyChairpic2.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Knowing Zoey could be a 3-legged dog was just fine, if her other leg was in good shape, but with it in a deteriorating condition, it was decided that a wheelchair was in her very near future. I had a custom chair made by Eddie's wheels, and delivered right to Jonathan's door. It was the best $400.00 I ever spent. Zoey wasn't crazy about her wheels at first, but when she realized the freedom it gave her she came to love that chair as much as she loved Jonathan.<br /> </div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7CxFoIDJ86comqQJuKzed72VG-jEOTlJhSenYKFcCJXuMgrTyrA8tm9xZyZkKyW6CnQ4KZeNS9882ucj3Fca92yIfuqjuUhwiQvDlZu-njQAysb4fEInJKP158lDDc7YmbbKs3ae1H_Uw/s1600-h/ZoeyParade.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401191218998498610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7CxFoIDJ86comqQJuKzed72VG-jEOTlJhSenYKFcCJXuMgrTyrA8tm9xZyZkKyW6CnQ4KZeNS9882ucj3Fca92yIfuqjuUhwiQvDlZu-njQAysb4fEInJKP158lDDc7YmbbKs3ae1H_Uw/s200/ZoeyParade.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Around rolls 2009: I have always had the dream of having a dog to show in the Parade of Honors at the National Specialty, and with a lot of encouragement from friends and family, and some not so encouraging words from some people, it was decided that Zoey would make a return to the show ring in the Parade of Honors at the 2009 National in Atlanta, GA. Jonathan, the saint that he is, took off work so he could drive Zoey to Atlanta for this. Zoey was the last entrant in the Parade and we had her all fitted up in her wheels and her specially made drape and bling. As Zoey and Amanda made their way around the ring, the Parade chairman started reading her bio which read: >>Zoey had to retire in the prime of her career in June 2006. Her US record: 18 Best In Show, 1 Best Puppy in Show, 3 Best In Specialty Show, 76 Group 1, 182 Best of Breeds (including BOB & Group 4 at Westminster), and many Group placements. She was in the Top 10 2004-2007. She was Hound of the Year 2003 in Canada. And in the US 2005's #1 Whippet, #3 Hound, #25 All Breed. Besides her amazing accomplishments, she has always had an amazing spirit and zest for life. She is a fighter, and her will to live is remarkable. Hugs to her major caregiver Jonathan. Words cannot express my thanks to you.<< </div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhry_dbe-FDuwKJWHXUt4n20MP7mvIS8KoPpNI5NBfmxdMmoZs17hTpaYX8eR2lAAxkJRaJBEJ9nddq91_tyUaXvklDKUz3NHQt89gUGU7uDEUl_RohT1dMFLwInWP3gFoDqgPRLitiBI46/s1600-h/Resizeofzoey1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 192px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401199212816392994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhry_dbe-FDuwKJWHXUt4n20MP7mvIS8KoPpNI5NBfmxdMmoZs17hTpaYX8eR2lAAxkJRaJBEJ9nddq91_tyUaXvklDKUz3NHQt89gUGU7uDEUl_RohT1dMFLwInWP3gFoDqgPRLitiBI46/s200/Resizeofzoey1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>As the closing of her bio approached, the Parade of Honors chairman was in tears, I was in tears, Amanda was in tears, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the room.

Zoey loved the idea of going on her hikes again and knew just how to maneuver her wheels around all the rocks and crevices that might have made her get stuck. She actually did a 6 mile hike in them wheels and was livin' high on life and the Montana sunshine. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXwycEphUxyhnd7aY0dkP7FB-zF2HFxBZf-hjN_-GsNfHTLEuKozvNw65CBMg2z8lND4eS1abjCc5URz-osBjlFIPe6sjqa94Ibsz05id4XfdqHO_iPWj35unFjWfpUflUOS6F9fPWjxV9/s1600-h/Zoey2009SBH3.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 140px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401193393767335458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXwycEphUxyhnd7aY0dkP7FB-zF2HFxBZf-hjN_-GsNfHTLEuKozvNw65CBMg2z8lND4eS1abjCc5URz-osBjlFIPe6sjqa94Ibsz05id4XfdqHO_iPWj35unFjWfpUflUOS6F9fPWjxV9/s200/Zoey2009SBH3.jpg" /></a><br /><div>We are now here in October and a phone call from Jonathan told me that Zoey's other rear leg is now about 95% unfunctional. She couldn't get up and the leg seems to be going the way of the other, dead. So another tearful discussion took place and it was decided that we would not make her into a two legged dog, even though Jonathan said he actually saw her walk a few steps on her front two legs with no help from her rear (almost like a handstand), talk about determination. I tearfully talked to Zoey to tell her how much I love her, and she will always be my baby girl, and no other will take her place in my heart, as she is my spirit and my soul.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9I-SWzZ17wXohNWB9v9VLaK26eiQD6LVmIfSJtGAshG8V4ISgyMDYmBwModIbQImoTKdUFCX7tu8Ap06ZohXIOJQj-uZmMCMcy6OaCubYBfGMX1Is9Y0SQs1THMj3ZLu8i3L8KuFJyTGk/s1600-h/7424_158275452862_116006412862_2579049_6472807_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401194459113202674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9I-SWzZ17wXohNWB9v9VLaK26eiQD6LVmIfSJtGAshG8V4ISgyMDYmBwModIbQImoTKdUFCX7tu8Ap06ZohXIOJQj-uZmMCMcy6OaCubYBfGMX1Is9Y0SQs1THMj3ZLu8i3L8KuFJyTGk/s200/7424_158275452862_116006412862_2579049_6472807_n.jpg" /></a><br />The final decision that we will ever make about Zoey was made on October 26, 2009 to let her cross to the bridge where she can be a whole dog again; to leave this life with that sparkle in her eyes and the dignity in her spirit that we all know she will carry with her forever. Here is Zoey in her favorite spot; in the arms of one of her best friends and caregiver, Jonathan.

This past weekend was the American Whippet Club Eastern Specialty. Tyler and I went with only two dogs, Vanna & puppy Rayne. We didn't do squat all weekend, unlike last year when Vanna won WB, BOW, BOB & Group 3, and Rio was RWD, Best Puppy & puppy Group 4. I guess you really can't have it all...lol. <br /><br />But I got to see a lot of people and friends that I did see at the National in Atlanta, but with such a big show, didn't get to spend a lot of time with. Friday night we went out to dinner for Amanda's 25th birthday (lord I remember when she was a chubby 5 year old). We had a great time with her new beau Jonathan, Susie & her friend, Barb, Vince & Laura. <br /><br />Saturday was the Specialty day and we had the thrill of cheering on Amanda & Tawny (Rio's sister) on to Best of Breed and a Group 2. Although it was very exciting, it amazes me to no end how one person will actually talk to a judge and can fix a show so that someone won't win. It's just mindboggeling to me. Anyway, it was exciting just the same.<br /><br />Saturday night Lesley, Jeannie, Allan, Tyler and I ordered pizza and had it delivered to the Red Roof where we were staying. We sat outside drinking beer, bloody marys and eating pizza.<br /><br />Sunday was another day that was mindboggeling as to how a judge will do just what you expect them to do, cause of the closeness a person has with that judge. Or that person has that judge in their pocket. Don't know how that works. <br /><br />Tyler was bored at times until he discovered that Lesley could get U-Tube on her I-Phone, and he watched You-Tube videos of the Family Guy, the Simpsons and who knows what else. I don't know how many times she had to recharge her phone cause Tyler had it constantly. <br /><br />Today was the last day of school, so Tyler is home now and already driving me crazy with lets do this, lets do that, and so on. We'll go to Dorney Park one day, and we'll go to the Smithsonian sometime, and maybe to the Philadelphia Zoo. We'll keep busy over the summer with stuff I'm sure. <br /><br />Till next time...The Eclipse Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07616262692799507234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623512564395039619.post-29261587363459724942009-06-02T05:16:00.000-07:002009-06-02T05:23:33.943-07:00The Three LabsThree male Labradors, 1 chocolate, 1 yellow, and 1 black were sitting in a waiting room at the vet's office when they struck up a conversation.<br /><br />The black Lab turned to the chocolate Lab and said, 'So why are you here?' The chocolate Lab replied, 'I'm a pisser. I piss on everything....the sofa, the curtains, the cat, the kids. But the final straw was last night when I pissed in the middle of my owner's' bed.' The black Lab said, 'So what is the vet going to do?' 'Gonna cut my nuts off,' came the reply from the chocolate Lab... They reckon it'll calm me down.'<br /><br />The black Lab then turned to the yellow Lab and asked, 'Why are you here?' The yellow Lab said, 'I'm a digger. I dig under fences dig up flowers and trees, and I dig just for the hell of it... When I'm inside, I dig up the carpets. But I went over the line last night when I dug a great big hole in my owner's couch.' So what are they going to do to you?' the black Lab inquired. Looks like I'm losing my nuts too'. The dejected yellow Lab said.<br /><br />The yellow Lab then turned to the black Lab and asked, 'Why are you here?' 'I'm a humper,' the black Lab said. 'I'll hump anything. I'll hump the cat, a pillow, the table, and fence posts, whatever. I want to hump everything I see. 'Yesterday, my owner had just gotten out of the shower, and as she was bending down to dry her toes, I just couldn't help myself. I hopped on her back and started humping away'. <br /><br />The yellow and chocolate Labs exchanged a sad glance and said, 'So, nuts off for you too, huh?' The black Lab said.... 'No, I'm just here to get my nails clipped.The Eclipse Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07616262692799507234noreply@blogger.com0
