2014, Day 89 - Zoom

This lovely boy is Nike and his father is Frankie's great uncle.  He is a very sensitive boy and it really helps when he gets a lot of attention prior to racing, especially if it comes from children.  Unfortunately the kids we brought to give him a pep talk were a bit busy playing so I had to do the honors.  We had a little pre-race cuddle and while it seemed to help some it wasn't the same so next time Analena and Amarie better bring their A-game so Nike can win.

It's kind of fun that there are so many dogs in my extended canine family (literally) that I get to see frequently :)
