Greetings from Colorado

Hey all, enjoying my stay in our cabin in the Colorado Rockies with my sis.

Before we came out here we took my sister's three greyhounds to a lure-coursing field. Upon getting there, her grey Gaelyn went to greet a greyhound that was partially blind and got bit for her trouble. The bite hit an artery which started gushing blood. I had to hold pressure while my sis got her med kit. Unfortunately, she didn't restock it with more sutures. We ended up having to vetwrap Gaelyn's mouth shut until we could take her to my sis's office to stitch it up.

We did stay long enough to let her ex-racer, Gracie, run the lure course. She was leaping and twisting on her leash, so they had to move her name up on the list to run immediately. It was awesome to see and she LOVED it. As soon as she was done, she wanted to go again. Fortunately they do this once a month, so they will all be out there again and the other two greys will get their chance.

Doing lots of artwork and relaxing, but not doing much hiking with the dogs. The elevation here is killer on my lungs (and all the wine we have been drinking, LOL).

See you all soon.
Deb
