I use to be a huge NASCAR fan, but over the past few seasons I've been losing interest in NASCAR. It started going downhill when they insisted on making the cars equal. Then the "playoffs", Stage racing and playoff points really ruined it for me. The Championship has become way more about luck and less about skill. I'll still watch but won't be updating the stat pages going forward.
I started seriously following Winston Cup in 1995. Terry Labonte was immediately my favorite. I really like his calm, cool and collected driving style. Bobby Labonte soon followed as my #2 favorite. Although he isn't as calm as Terry, (remember the incident where he kicked the tires and threw his helmet at the car after a crash?) I like his quite sense of humor. They each have their own page - so be sure to visit both. With Terry retired & Bobby pretty retired I went with Carl Edwards as my favorites. Ya gotta love his backflips. Then after he has left the sport I rooted for Martin Truex, Jr.

Want to know how many races your favorite driver has won? Or how his win count compares to other drivers? Then you want my All Time Victory List.
Her favorite vacation spot was San Simeon, CA. The picture of Annie with her loyal pets (Kathy & Mike) sitting on a bench was taken just north of there at Ragged Point. Ragged Point is a great spot to sit and watch for whales but Annie got bored sitting still and wanted to keep moving!
She liked to walk right on the edge of the bluff - which maked her pets VERY nervous!
The Terrier of Team Terrier now has her own page! Be sure and check out Annie's Page
Like Annie, she hated racing. When I yell and scream at the drivers she always came to see what's wrong with ME! But she loved to lay in my lap why I work at the computer.
On the morning of Saturday June 20, 2009 we came to the very painful decision to put our little E.T. to sleep. For the past year her back end had been getting weaker & weaker. Walking became very difficult for her. We had a sling to help her walk and squat to potty. But it got to where all she could do was drag her back lags. She was panting and in distress, so it was time to let her go. We took her to the vets and she was very calm. We held her and she went very quietly. We love her and will miss her greatly!
Both Annie and E.T. have their own pages with lots of pictures - be sure to check them out. We will keep their pages permanently!!

Champion St. Roques Annie Royale, a.k.a. Annie was the original Team Terrier Terrier. We got her when she was 4 years old and she was our darling girl until she died at 16 1/2 years old on 8/29/01.
Her favorite entertainment at home was to lay by the front door and bark at anyone who DARED to walk by. The neighborhood kids would run by to see if she was there. When she barked they ran away screaming - which maked her bark more! I don't know who was teasing who. Heaven forbid the weather be too hot or too cold (heat or air conditioner on) for the door to be open. She went into a sulk - and there is NOTHING worse than a sulky terrier!!
For more on
Annie at the door check out her page.
The beach between San Simeon and Ragged Point is an Elephant Seal Rookery. You can see them lying on the beach behind Annie and her pet Kathy. Kathy loves to watch the Elephant Seals but Annie HATED them. Their loud bellowing is just too noisy!! If the pets insist on watching them, Annie liked to sleep back at the hotel and wait for entertainment that SHE liked to come along.
Champion St. Roques Easy Tempo, a.k.a. E.T. came to live with us on 9/1/01 at the age of eight. She is very different from our Annie but she was a typical terrier imp.
Champion Norwest Repeater a.k.a. Echo was out darling boy for about 10 years. We were heartbroken when we had to send him to the Rainbow Bridge on May 28,2019. He had gone downhill so fast since Christmas. He had about lost his eyesight so that sunlight bothered him and he could hardly get up from his bed. We hated to lose him but it was the best thing for him. Check out Echo's page It is a permanent part of the site.
