We waited somewhat patiently for the announcement over the PA system. “Junior Showmanship will be held in Ring 3 at 2 PM.” You had to pay attention because the time, ring, and judge were never part of the judging program. It depended on when available handlers had time between showing their dogs to serve as judges. Back then everyone stayed all day so it worked just fine. There was no such thing as entering Junior Showmanship ahead of time; you just showed up at the ring.

We met regularly at shows we judged, and our friendship remained a close one. Maybe too close at times! We were gal pals, and both felt the need for someone to bounce things off.

I’ve been hearing mutterings from The Boss lately that it might be time to start looking for a puppy. Just a goldarn minute here! Hmm, where did that come from? Must have picked it up watching those old John Wayne westerns with The Boss. Or, maybe it was Lee Marvin. Nah, must have been Wayne, couldn’t have been Marvin. Lee Marvin was a former Marine. Fought and seriously wounded on Saipan during WWII. Any expletive he used would have been a lot stronger than “goldarn.” But, I digress. Back to the initial question.

A few things in life qualify as universal fantasies. Winning lottery tickets, space travel… ho-hum. Let’s dream big! I’m talking owner/handled record breakers in the sport of purebred dogs. This is the thing that makes us get up every morning and face another day. It’s that sparkling prize that keeps everyone inspired and striving for perfection.

I am in my kitchen on the Friday just before Valentine’s Day. Three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and two English Toy Spaniels are piled on top of one another on a large sofa-style doggie bed nestled near the radiator. They have recently come in from a romp through the snow. I can see the “white stuff” piled two feet high in the courtyard on the other side of the French doors. The sound of their slumber gently fills the room. I have work to do. I turn on my iPad and pull up my February playlist to enjoy some background music while I write. Suddenly the mellow voice of Frank Sinatra dominates the sweet sounds of my sleepy dogs. My ears fill with his tender rendition of “My Funny Valentine,” written by the famous team of Lorenz Hart and Richard Rogers many, many decades ago.
