About 6 weeks ago we brought home a new sweet one named Isabella. She comes from a long line of skittish dogs, and after 6 weeks, Friday was the first time she let me pet her. I cried. She was never abused, and is less than 2 years old. She did race in Dubuque in 5 training races,Chris K in Wisconsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656069642909892508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-89605224564014829672015-10-04T20:07:27.542-04:002015-10-04T20:07:27.542-04:00think I'd love the coffee drink...yum! great c...think I'd love the coffee drink...yum! great cow...I've always wanted a cow painting, not portrait. well done on the grey hound fund raiser.

Mine, though, didn't start life like it is now. It was a ho-hum red car with red interior, a black top, and hub caps, and man we bought it from did this when he restored it.

If not, I consider it to be their loss. I think it's sad when people make themselves out to be something they're not.

...Thanks! Our event last weekend was really fun. <br /><br />I had no choice but to learn to drive a stick when I was 20. I had no car of my own, and I would be driving my husband’s car with a four-speed when we married … a ’74 Nova SS, which was fast and SO much fun once I got the hang of it. He and I have always loved shiny classic cars.<br /><br />Still raining.

As soon as I figured out how to get the car into reverse (so I could back it out of the garage) it didn't take long get fairly proficient with the new shifter. I'm still nervous when I have to pull out from a dead stop on a hill, especially if there's a car close behind me, but it's getting better.
