Hi,
I’m Cassidy Green, and I’m the owner of the Amelia Speedway in Virginia. I run
the racetrack with my Uncle Henry, and Oliver, my Rottweiler and director of
security.
Where is your
favorite place to visit? Oliver and I love to travel to the beach. We love
Sandbridge in Virginia Beach and anywhere in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
What do you do
for fun?
We work at a racetrack, so every weekend is fun. When it’s not racing season,
we like to read, watch movies, and try new recipes.
What makes you
laugh?
Oliver, my director of security, makes me laugh. When he’s in the office, he is
all business, Mr. Guard Dog. But in real life, he’s a big pussycat.
What’s something
you do when no one is watching? I like to dance and sing in the living
room. I’m a terrible singer, so it’s a good thing that no one is watching.
Oliver doesn’t mind my singing.
Are you married? No. I’m single.
What’s your most
significant human-to-human relationship? My Uncle Henry, my dad’s brother,
is my closest living relative. He lives nearby on the other side of the
racetrack.
Are you an
introvert or an extrovert? I’m an extrovert, but I retreat to my house with
Oliver when I’m done peopling.
What is your
idea of the perfect day? The perfect day is sunny and 82 degrees. I love to
go for a ride in the rural parts of Central Virginia, and Oliver likes to ride
shotgun. And we always stop for snacks and long walks.
About your
canine sidekick, how long has s/he been with you? Oliver has been
with me for six years. He was a puppy when he came to live with me. He’s been
through lots of obedience classes, and he loves to go to work with me every
day.
How did you know
Oliver was the right dog for you? I fell in love with those big, brown
puppy eyes. When I picked him up and held him, he fell asleep in my arms. He’s
been my sidekick since that day.
Thanks so much
for letting us visit the blog today. We’ve got to head back and get ready for
the races this weekend. If you’re out in Central Virginia, stop in and see us.
We have the best chili cheese dogs this side of Richmond.
