2007 WRA National Race Meet

We took Cullen on his first road trip this past weekend, to the Whippet National Race Meet in Raeford, NC. He did pretty well! The Bjorn really came in handy. As my niece said: "Babies are made to be worn!" Well I agree. This thing kept Cullen in a deep slumber all day, face planted in chest. Your chest, his chest... it really didn't matter. This did make the nights a bit more difficult however.

Something like 120 dogs ran in the sprint meet on Saturday, and our friend Anne's girl Tula won the whole thing! Undefeated no less.

The only thing we have to brag about is our match placements on Friday. Scoche and her daughter Kira both took second place in their respective classes. They each won a neat little handmade ceramic dish with a running whippet on it.

Our friend Jeff of Ashley Avenue fame joined us on Saturday for the events. His dog Lucy soon decided she wanted to take part...

My birthday was Sunday and a cake was delivered to the field...very nice! It was wonderful seeing a lot of our friends that now live far away -- we miss you all!

Looks like you had fun. That is great that you are getting out with Cullen. One baby is just like an extra piece of luggage--you can take one anywhere!

That little carry thing is cool! And YAY!! I can't wait to see everyone on Thanksgiving! Perhaps if Cullen is up to it we can practice the ring bearer thing, but no need for a tux yet, its only practice ;)
