The Secret

I’ve added a bunch of article to the website in the past month, clearing out a drawer full of saved magazines. I’ve added them as resources on the appropriate page. Veterinary Care. Reproduction. Training. And on and on. Vickie shared The Secret. Used with permission, it was easy enough to add it to The Library, [...]

What’s in a name?

When I came upon this photo…

I was reminded of Bowie, Ch. Fleetfire Put On Your Red Shus. 
I took a photo of my own red shoes…

And  used it to update Bowie’s page.
Bowie was named after David Bowie’s song, Let’s Dance.
Let’s dance, put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s dance to the song they’re playing [...]

Debby on…critiques

A few days ago, organizing some memorbilia for my Library of Memories, I can upon a critique of the June 17, 1989 Greater Milwaukee Lhasa Apso Club Specialty. Some of you may have heard stories about this Specialty. It was held in a bar. The judge was Jo Ann Rogers. Finding the critique triggered memories, [...]

A Thank You

As LACCC secretary, I received a thank-you card from the Specialty judge and wanted to share her kind words…

Debby on…New Champions and Old friends

What a great few days it’s been! For those few days, the kennel was renamed the trailer park. I like trailer parks…especially old ones with big shade trees. A bit cozy, but comfy.
A week ago Friday I met Melissa ‘for coffee’ at the airport, 7:30AM sharp. She flew in from Minneapolis to hand deliver Josie [...]

Stretch Your Dog

Dogwise Publishing is pleased to announce the arrival of The Healthy Way to Stretch Your Dog – A Physical Therapy Approach by Sasha and Ashley Foster. As people have become more aware of the means by which they can keep their dogs healthy and active for longer periods of time, there has been an increased [...]

AKC Dog Tax

Well, if this doesn’t just about take the cake! I simply can’t believe it. What a slap in the face of responsible purebred dog breeder/exhibitors. AKC already receives a $3.50 recording fee for each entry; something that didn’t exist until a few years ago. Dog clubs pay a fee to host a dog show. Breeders [...]

Debby on..my dog’s better

The AKC column has been submitted to Cassandra. Other than a lunch date with Nate, later wine with Melissa, there’s no deadline today. There’s been something on my mind. A draft titled My Dog’s Better Than Your Dog, My Dog’s Better Than Yours has been sitting in admin for months. The subject has been on [...]
