A Greyhound Is Born
3 Jul
Well…technically…the greyhound hasn’t been born yet. But he’s due in the next couple of weeks. His mom, a young lass who hasn’t even made it to the track yet, will be here Sunday. Heather is driving to Southland Park in West Memphis, AR to see a stakes race – our boy Primo has a littermate that is one of the favorites – and to pick up the soon-to-be mama dog.
Meanwhile, back at Greystar Kennels, I will be preparing the kennel for mama dog’s arrival. This includes building a whelping box. I’ve decided to go big – 6′x6′ – to ensure maximum comfort. We have a couple of baby pools that we could have used, I suppose, but it’s worth a little money and labor to make sure it’s done right. I will be taking photos so I can post a full pictorial update.
Stay tuned…
Ken, you and Heather are having a rare opportunity to assist in the whelping and I guess this event will give me a great-grand dog. Can’t wait to see the newborns. I’ll be checking for photographs.
