Just got home from a whirlwind trip from our home in western Kentucky to Eugene, Oregon and back. I was naked as could be, traveling without any dogs.
We had a scary emergency on Monday morning, so before I headed for the airport, Bill in his jammies drove Very Old Dog and me to the vet. I will write about that tonight. He is doing GREAT now.
The hot news which can't wait is that yesterday, Xela won another race at Keeneland!!!! Jake and Xela are two for two! This race was even harder (against faster horses) and he won AGAIN!!! Holy SCHMOLY!!!
Here he is after the race with my son of whom I am so PROUD!!!
You can really see how small Xela is in this photo. and he ran against the BIG BOYs yesterday and he beat them and how!
I'll be back with a story later tonight. Just couldn't WAIT for this news.

Hug your hounds and your horses and your kids and your sweet spouses and your friends and shoot, just hug everything that moves today!

Way to go Jake and Xela!! One of the sayings in my family(all of us short in stature)is "Dynamite comes in small packages"!
