And they’re off

Timber and Crystal

At the far end of the acre Timber and Crystal are rounding the corner. I, on the other hand am holding my breath. It’s such an oxymoron because I love to watch them run and play. The paranoid weenie part of me wants them to stop. Is just laying in the grass catching the rays so unreasonable?

They round the corner and Timber pulls ahead by a whole borzoi. Of course he does, his legs are nearly twice as long as Crystal’s legs. Now they are heading for the dark side of the plum tree. I can see nothing as I hold my breath.

Could it be? As they come out on the other side Crystal is pulling ahead by nearly a whole greyhound! Woo hoo! Go Crystal go.

Not to be outdone by girl, a tiny greyhound girl, Timber once again hits the jets and pulls up along side Crystal on the outside.

Poetry in motion I tell you.

    I've just spent a lovely half hour catching up ... I wasn't that far behind, but I was savouring the stories and photos of how you got everyone:) It would be real heart stopping stuff watching Timber and anyone tearing up the acre! Crystal is a determined little thing, I wonder who won the race?

    I'm the same way. I love watching them run, but don't want anyone to get hurt in the process. Would love to see a video of them running.

    These are breathtaking shots. I can't even imagine what you felt seeing it happen before your eyes. I love these two's friendship.

    I love all the shots, but that last one is just stunning! I love seeing them in full stride together. I know what you mean about holding your breath. It's not that I worry about Bunny running, but more about her getting hurt when she stops with Morgan jumping around.

    What fun. I would love to see your dogs at lure coursing, and I bet they would love it!
