Me and Owen - practicing heeling during a training session. The grin on his face and the waving tail demonstrate how much he loved heeling. He had fantastic natural attention and position.

I always loved this shot of Owen dwarfed by the dead roots of an upturned tree on the beach off the Chuckanut Drive, circa 1995

Owen exploring the cliffs on the beach off the Chuckanut Drive, circa 1995 - it looks like he is dangerously close to the edge of a rather precipitous drop, but in reality it was only a few feet down to the sand.

Owen - swimming in the slough at Marymoor Park. My greyhounds absolutely loved the water and couldn't get enough of it. Mostly they enjoyed splashing around and laying in it to cool off, but Owen would swim if I threw cookies out far enough. He was a strong, steady swimmer and was a novel sight out there among the obligatory labs and goldens.

Owen's first trip to Marymoor Park, circa 1994 - I didn't have a zoom lens and only managed to capture this shot of him running at extreme distance, but I'll never forget the breathtaking exhilaration of witnessing for the first time his sheer joy in running

Owen at a gangly 22 months - his first night in his new home, clearly making himself at home!
