Amber, aka Chantilly Lane, is a 5-year-old black female born September 14, 2008. She is Irish born and bred - her sire is Westmead Hawk and her dam is Annas Wish. Amber has just 8 races to her credit on Greyhound-data.com, all in Florida. She started at Orange Park on June 25, 2010 and ended at Daytona Beach on August 7, 2010. She arrived with a neck wound and parasites, but after treatment is feeling ever-so-much better!

 

From Amber's Foster Mom: Amber is a petite spitfire like that other Irish beauty, Scarlett O'Hara. She can't be trusted around kitties, or possums and squirrels for that matter. She loves her stuffies and keeps them near her beds so that they will always be handy for squeaking and shaking. She frequently and generously places one on my pillow too!

 

Amber roaches while relaxing and gets along famously with her foster brother. They enjoy running in the yard and doing zoomies together. She adores going for a ride in the car but can't quite get the hang of jumping in. She might just like being picked up. She exhibits no food or any other aggression. She is always ready for a treat or a rawhide.

 

Amber has the run of the house when I am away, since she learned not to counter surf. When I come home she greets me with a happy dance and her restrained little bark that sounds like a Chihuahua. Once I am home, she is my sparkly-eyed companion.

THANKS TO ALL OF OUR GREYT GOLF PARTICIPANTS AND VOLUNTEERS!
 

Over 50 golfers descended on Canyon Creek Country Club on September 24th to play in GALT's first Greyt Golf Tournament. The weather was perfect and several of GALT's greys came out to greet the golfers and show their appreciation for the funds raised to help defray GALT's medical and boarding costs. In addition to a fun day of golf, the participants were treated to lunch, dinner and valuable goody bag items. We had some fabulous live auction and raffle prizes, which helped to raise even more funds for the hounds.

 

Many thanks to our donors, volunteers and celebrity guests - Mark Followill, Brady Tinker, NFL great Tim Brown and The Ticket's Mike Sirois. Brady, Tim and Mike joined Ron Christian and Eric Lendl on the winning team with a blistering score of 58. The second place team lost out on first place in a very close score-card playoff. Members of that team were David Hindman, Cary Smith, Allan Hanes and Ralph Shelton.

 
A slide show from the event can be seen here and photos of all the teams can be seen and downloaded here.
