Judges are both highly visible and opaque. Tireless, courteous and vigilant, they toil away week after week in all sorts of weather and venues, logging frequent flier miles, creating their own versions of Route 66, and making the acquaintance of every hotel and motel chain in America. They travel with rain gear, and own many pairs of practical shoes.
From inside and outside the rings at shows during the summer months, there were great summer outfits galore worn by the exhibitors, judges, club members, and officials. Here is just a taste of the best of the best during the days of Glam Cam coverage. Do you have a fav?

The American Kennel Club sent out a survey to some fanciers recently. I’m not certain how they compiled their survey pool, but some who received the survey said they are concerned that the AKC will recognize “designer dogs” or mutts, as many of us call them, in the not too distant future.
Over the past week, the farmer who tends the fields on the property where we are currently living has been harvesting the hay. It is quite a process. To begin, the fields were mowed down one after another. Then the grass was assembled row by row down the length of each of these fenced areas. After a few days, the farmer returned with his HUGE tractor to spread the grass over the entire area. At each step, the farmer made the effort to get the grass in exactly the place he needed for the process to be effective. If anything got in the way of the tractor, he promptly stopped, got down, and fixed the problem. Once he was satisfied, he climbed up on the tractor once again to finish the job.
