Michelle and me outside a nightclub in Mykonos, at what I’m sure was a very late (or early) hour – depending on how you look at it. Mykonos is beautiful but windy. I didn’t expect that. The nights are very warm. We walked into old town from our resort, about 25 minutes, all downhill. I think we’ll grab a taxi or uber back home. It was a tad precarious in my heeled sandals… adventures in inappropriate footwear continue! We’ve felt safe the whole time here. Met some great people, and enjoyed catching up with each other, planning the future, and laughing a ton.

Welcome to my adventures. Happy reading!
The joy on Cuest’s face when he’s running – there is nothing like it in this world. NOTHING. I’ve been lucky to have multiple Pharaoh Hounds that have dominated on the coursing field – from being ranked #1, earning a spot atop a perpetual trophy, winning Best in Field, and running with skill and enthusiasm. I would drive to the ends of this country to ensure they get to do what they love. This baby, only 14 months old, earned his AKC Field Championship today in New Mexico. So proud of him carrying on his father, Cayman’s, footprints.
With a limited amount of time due to work commitments and dog events, I found the perfect dates for my next adventure. The issues were where and with whom. So, I input the dates into Google Flights, and searched ‘anywhere’ from Denver – and voila, a decent deal came up to Athens. I booked the flight, got great seats, and invited a few friends. Can’t wait to relax in the warm Mediterranean sun and take in the sights.
The boys and I ventured to California for lure coursing and 2 shows. Cayper and Calyber loved lure coursing, as always, with Cayper winning first place in the veterans stake of the PHCA Western Specialty. Calyber had a great fun too! Then, at the supported entry at the dog show on Sunday, Cayper won best of breed! This marked his 6th time winning Best of Breed in a supported entry! Just love this sweet boy, his easy going temperament, and his zest for coursing and enjoyment in showing. He’s now only 2 points away from his Grand Champion Silver (show title) AND his LCX3 (lure coursing title.) Both those titles are on my vision board for 2024 and I look forward to meeting those goals. Cuest rakced up a few more points in the show ring – he isn’t old enough to compete in coursing just yet. Gito had fun seeing his friends, and Calyber took a spin around the show ring both days looking great!
not to escape life, so that life does not escape us. I am reminded, constantly, about what little time we actually have. It’s why I rarely watch TV, or sit on the couch, or scroll aimlessly on social media. When I’m not working, I’m usually at dog events or traveling somewhere on my bucket list. And, when I have down time, I read, I play with my boys, and spend time with my friends. It’s so important for me to invest my time wisely as we only get so much of it.
