About Casual Bling!
What drives Casual Bling?
Greyhounds!  Greyhounds are my  passion.  I adopted my first retired racing greyhound in 1999. As soon as I laid eyes on her I
was done.   Currently I am owned by three of these magnificent athletes;  SS Tal Iano - 'Jake', System CS Buddy - 'Jet' and our
pre-adopted pup 'Peanut' who joined us in March 2007.
Craigie Grandy - Grandy is our Mama dog that I pre adopted right out of
her racing kennel B & J Racing in 2009.  We waited 2 long years while she completed her racing career and lounged around casa
de Lambert waiting for puppies.  I brought her home following Sandy Paws in 2011.   

Our Angel girls Peanut and Foxy are not longer with us in spirit, but will remain forever in our hearts.   
Peanut was a Follow That
Hound puppy I watched her grow up from an itty bitty peanut to a gorgeous greyhound girl.   She had a very brief racing career with
the racing team at B & J Racing Kennel
, then lived with us for 4 wonderful years. Peanut left us after a brief illness on January 31,
2011.
 Our first greyhound, our beautiful 13 1/2 year old Diva girl, Foxy left us on August 5, 2008.

My love of greyhounds led me to my business; my business lets me support the work of many greyhound adoption programs, a win,
win situation for everyone.   I donate regularly to auctions that raise funds for vet bills, food, transportation and day to day
expenses.
In 2005, I have turned my attentions to cancer research in greyhounds.  I started Hope for Hounds to raise awareness and money
to support research on cancer in greyhounds.   All money raised through Hope for Hounds will be sent to Dr Couto of Ohio State
University to be used for the Greyhound Health and Welfare Program.    My prayers are with all dogs and their families as they
battle this horrible disease.
