Had a bittersweet reunion with Kali and her two brothers. Her only other surviving littermate, Dixie, didn't show which was disappointing but hey, the politics of a small town.

I know I have mentioned my training holes - such as the chute. Yeah - remembered another one as I stepped to the line on Sunday with Sizzle: the triple. Never seen one.
