What a weekend!!! Pictured on the left are the core members of Greyhound Crossroads, our adoption group of choice. They are posed with Red Thunder who will sire their RaceForAdoption pup. All proceeds will benefit their group. The proud mom will be Honest Emigrant* an Irish import. Pat Begley and Tim Cahill designed the breeding of these two and we expect great things from the impending litter. We had a great time with the girls from GC. They met all the pups, broods and studs and the great Ozzie The Man. All posed for individual pics with the Oz-Some One. As you can see his brother, Red Thunder, isn't afraid of the camera either!

TDM Sadie blessed us with six healthy Loxahatchee Dash pups yesterday. This was our most highly anticipated litter of the year and they are finally here. We have four girls and 2 boys.

Donna and Doug Breda brought JT's Two Ears for a visit yesterday. Earsie got to see her half brother, Bokars Memory. It was a family reunion all the way around! Donna has offered to volunteer with Greyhound Crossroads to boot! It was a wonderful afternoon for greyhound adoption!

A huge THANK YOU to Jamie and Chris Stivers who tirelessly worked the farm all weekend long. They will be regular kennel helpers here from now on. As soon as we can get them to pose we will have pictures of them under "Staff". We cherish their friendship and welcome them aboard at Block Sporthounds! I don't know what we would have done this weekend without them!

Breeding season is upon us and the visiting broods are here in abundance! We wish everyone healthy, large litters! Dr. Barber, Star and I are working overtime. Thanks to Dr. Barber and Star for the long hours and care they give each and every one of these girls!

And last but not least. My buddy, my best friend....was honored today. Ozzie was named to the 2006 All American Team. He was third in the voting finishing only behind team captain Bob's Skeet and Extruding Dream. He is laying next to me asleep right now and doesn't even realize what he has accomplished! Dottie and Tony Morris, Tim Cahill and Cindy O'Connor...they have much to be proud of! They kept Ozzie's win streak alive to the tune of 26 races in a row. They tirelessly drove him back and forth from West Palm Beach to Hollywood to run in the World Classic....after running and WINNING the St. Pat's Invitational at Palm Beach! He ened up 2nd in the World Classic. They all have much to look forward to. The repeat breeding of Stan's Boy Flyer and Go Go Cleo is snuggled in at the Palm Beach Kennel compound....waiting to win races, set track records and make their own history. Sitting in the Morris' backyard are Ozzie's 7 week old nephews...also waiting to make their way onto the Palm Beach oval. You haven't even begun to hear the last of the Morris' or the Cahill and O'Connor Kennel. Ozzie will be down in May to see everyone!!!
