They LOVED it! A plastic grocery bag running on a zigzagging wire in a big open field, rigged to a car battery. We were in a coursing club and got together one Sunday a month.

The guys used to have to run the lure at its top limit or our little girl Grey would catch it too. She'd be so excited she'd bite at her leash and cry to be let loose. She'd never raced on the track because she was so fast, she'd race to the head of the practice pack and trip up the others, trying to play. So we got her when she was only a year old.

When my sons were 2 and 4, I remember thinking, many times,”How soon is nap time?” Before they had even finished breakfast.
