A Wrestler's Biggest Fan
That's my little boy by mat number two...
He's on deck;
He's the one that tries to look so confident,
While I sit here a wreck.
I sit here watching nervously,
Biting my nails and shaking in my seat;
Praying for a victory,
And not a quick defeat.
Please don't let him be hurt,
Please let him be all right;
After all this is why he practices so hard,
Almost every night.
I'll just suffer through it,
And hive him my support;
Wondering why sometimes,
He ever chose this sport.
But when it's finally over,
And he makes it through "the three";
Nothing can beat the look on his face,
That look of Victory.
The look that says, "I did it, hey mom did you see?"
And when the ref holds up his hand, I know why he chose this sport;
And when the victory goes the other way,
I still give him my support.
There's always a next time as long as you try,
A mom never fails to say;
"You're always a champion in my eyes, son,"
"And you will always be that way."
A mom is a wrestler's biggest fan,
She knows what's in his heart;
She knows his dedication,
And how he tries so hard.
It's hard for a mom to sit and watch,
As her son gets pinned;
And it's hard not to get emotional,
As you watch your baby win.
Seeing his eyes search for you,
While you're sitting in the stands;
Making sure you saw his every move turn out,
Just the way he had planned.
Because every wrestler knows,
That mom is his biggest fan!!!

Canine Learning Experience 2009 - Day 2
Sunday was day two of the Canine Learning Experience was a good day too. I wasn't there due to a conflicting wrestling meet Tyler was in, but reports are Rayne won her 3-6 month puppy class, along with Gina placing 3rd and Aurora placing 4th. This was a great day for my girls being they had very little ring training. Hopefully they'll continue with their winning ways. These pics were taken by Phasion Whippets, thanks Paul & Kim.

Canine Learning Experience 2009
I am so very proud of my puppies. At 2 days shy of 6 months, Otis...aka Eclipse Singin' The Blues won his 3-6 month puppy class at the Canine Learning Super Match tonight. His sister Aurora...aka Eclipse Rhythm & Blues, although she didn't place, she showed quite well for not being out and about much. She does need a bit more attitude though.
From the other litter, just shy of 6 months by a week, Rayne...aka Eclipse Secret Wish was 2nd in a big 3-6 month class and litter sister Gina...aka Eclipse Strike a Pose was 4th in the same class. I'm very proud of these kids, and look forward to more exciting things from them in 2009.
Hopefully I'll be able to get up some good pics of them from the match. I didn't take any, but I know someone who did.

The Life & Times of Zoey - Part 9
If you've been following along with Zoey's story, here is an update. Zoey is doing incredibly good on her 3 legs, running up and down the fence line making sure she gets her exercise. She is a good eater and is keeping Jonathan quite busy as he is with her 24/7. He is fortunate enough to be able to take Zoey and his one other Whippet Lily to work with him, so he is her ever loving servant. Whatever Zoey wants, Zoey gets.
People send Zoey stuffies just so she gets to destuff them. Some people even try to find the "totally indestructable" ones, but Zoey takes care of them in no time flat.
Jonathan went on a non-doggie vacation this Christmas and left Zoey and his other crew at home with Jonathan's dad. I told him that when Amanda used to leave the house in Virginia, Zoey used to pace like crazy; drove Debbie nuts. And lo and behold what did Zoey do, she paced and paced and paced with her three legs while Jonathan was gone. It kept her in good shape for sure.
I am very grateful to Jonathan for taking such great care of Zoey in her greatest time of need. And I am so very proud of Zoey for her unfaltering spirit, love of life, and the gift of determination she gives me every day.
The Best Is Yet To Come!!!

Wild Turkey 101 - Never Again!!!
Back in November we had a drawing at our local club. It was a fun night sitting and drinking with friends and family. Most of the people were smart enough to go home at a decent time still sober, but my Aunt and I came to a decision, we liked Wild Turkey Honey. What a mistake!!! Although I remember everything, even getting sick as a dog, I didn't fall on the floor, not once, not twice but 3 times like someone else I know...lol.
Wild Turkey - NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
