The Canine Chronicle extends our deepest sympathies to Patty Keenan on the loss of her mom, AKC Judge Barbara Keenan, who passed away last week. Ken Sleeper, owner of Roy Jones Dog Shows, passed away Saturday. We extend our sympathies to his wife, Virginia, his family, and all the folks at RJDS.

The Canine Chronicle extends our sincere sympathies to Jay Richardson and family on the loss of his father. We also extend our sympathies to the friends and family of Harriette Borsuch, former AKC judge and Field Rep who passed away recently…

…our condolences to Beep and Shari Lee on the loss of Beep’s father, Alvin Lee, Sr. Anyone who understands the history of our sport knows the name Alvin Lee Sr. and how influential he was to the sport of purebred dogs.

We at The Canine Chronicle hope that Charlotte Patterson is recovering after her recent illness while judging the Filer, Idaho shows. She was hospitalized while suffering from a flu-like illness. There appears to be a horrible stomach bug travelling coast to coast amongst the dog show community. It worked its way down motor home row in Blackfoot, and I’ve heard of people being affected as far as Florida.

It’s weird how the simplest old-fashioned remedies never seem to fail. Chicken soup really does help cure a cold, and chocolate actually does ease heartache. Scientific backup also confirms the therapeutic effect of physical contact with dogs. It measurably reduces stress and anxiety, and floods the brain with feel-good hormones.

I am saddened by the horrific act of violence in Orlando this past weekend and wish to extend my condolences to all those affected. This act of terrorism reminds me that we cannot take our safety and that of our dogs for granted: We must stay on our toes and be mindful of those around us. There has been more theft at shows in the recent past than any of us would like to acknowledge i.e. things disappearing from set-ups, motorhomes, booths, etc. We all need to take note and try to secure our belongings, merchandise, and dogs.
