Ukraine Dogs
If nothing else, this dog game instills a resourceful mentality. When we see a challenge, we devise a solution. Maybe it’s not neat or easy, but we generally get the job done. And that’s exactly how America’s purebred fancy has responded to the unfolding crisis in Ukraine. From the get-go, we understood the magnitude of the situation confronting Ukrainian dog owners. At this point in time, regardless of the scope of any natural or man-made disaster, there is no longer any debate about abandoning pets. No need to review the documented evidence of that fact. Regardless of any possible trauma they face, time and again we’ve watched people choose death over that loss. Bureaucracy no longer denies that reality. Unfortunately, that’s about as far as it’s gotten.

A Good Line – Canine Cartoonists
We love purebred dogs for their singularity—each breed designed for a different end—each both functional and beautiful. In their working lives—even as companion animals—we see examples of form following function. The long, low Dachshund; the pendulous Bloodhound; the solid and athletic Labrador Retriever. In conformation shows, we see these same qualities in an aesthetic context. “Best dog on the day” looks most like itself, and what it represents.
Table Talk · May 11, 2022
Many folks look forward to the Bucks and Trenton weekend on the East Coast. Unfortunately, the weather gods had different plans for Bucks this year as severe weather including strong winds and heavy rains caused the show to be cancelled. With much hard work and re-organizing, club volunteers and John Miller and the Site Control crew were able to re-arrange things so the Trenton shows could be held on Sunday and Monday. Their efforts allowed Trenton to celebrate their 100th anniversary.

The Big E – East of Eden
Here I am, just six miles east, but a world away from our previous home. Finally, I am taming the chaos. These past six weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and emotions. Making the decision to sell our home of twenty-one years was the easy part. We agreed. It was time. The selling part happened much faster than we ever expected. One open house on the Sunday before the Super Bowl brought several potential buyers. Early the next morning came an offer. How pleased we were that a lovely couple found our house to be as beautiful and unique as we did. Stately historic homes are definitely not for everyone, but it was perfect for them. Three days later the house was under contract
