Jay (Jayvees Star) came to Tia back in 2018.
Also known as Lumina Scot, we dug out a clip of him coming second… he wasn’t a bad racer to be fair, with 17 wins to his credit.
But, as far as he was concerned, life began when he came up the drive.
We tried a few rehomings, but some racers prefer the routine of a kennels. He relished the coming and goings of the place. The curtain twitcher of the kennels, he was always up on his paws, watching the new dogs arriving and saying farewell to the lucky leavers. He knew where he was best off though.
A 35 kilo lump, Jay occasionally needed to bunk up for some pretty little girl, which made his day as long as it wasn’t for ever.
Jay loved the staff, the food and the occasional saunter around the paddocks. Old age doesn’t come alone, and he lately developed difficulties with his breathing which slowed him down a bit.
Never any trouble, part of the fabric nonetheless. We loved him and we shall miss him.
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored Jay over the years.
