Table Talk

All of us at The Canine Chronicle extend our thoughts and prayers to those involved with the loss of 14 dogs this past weekend in Indiana. Let us all learn from this tragic occurrence and review how we provide for our dogs in extreme weather conditions. There are many different cellular temperature alert options out on the market now, and many of our colleagues are posting their preferred devices on Facebook. These devices range in price from $49-$299. Some have monthly service fees, and some do not. Temperature alerts have saved many a canine life and are well worth the small investment.

The Burlington, Iowa shows changed location this year and I heard from exhibitors who attended the cluster how wonderful the show committee and the community were to those attending this show. The community outreach was outstanding, and exhibitors and fanciers were welcomed by local businesses and restaurants to the community with signs inviting people with their dogs and thanking exhibitors for coming. Sunday was highlighted with a visit to the show from the mayor who again thanked everyone for coming and welcomed them back next year. Kudos to the cluster and the community for welcoming our dog fanciers with open arms. If you are looking for a cluster to add to your schedule, this may be one to consider!!! More outreach like this can only help our numbers grow.

The Fiesta Cluster, previously held in February at West World in Scottsdale, AZ has moved venues and dates. The cluster will now be held in November at a new location in Scottsdale that is said to have much better turf, and will be more exhibitor-friendly. Stay tuned for more information.

Celebrating birthdays this week: Carissa DeMilta-Shimpeno, Vicki Holloway, Terri Giannetti, Stuart McGraw, Kyle Robinson and Laura Coomes.

Be safe out there my friends, and remembe… dogs come first!

Be sure to give me a shout if you would like to share good news about a club, a cluster, a fancier, or any other scoop you’d like to share!

Please let me know if there is an entire Show Committee, or special Committee member you would like mentioned for their hard work and dedication. I’d love to hear from you!!!! If there is a b-day, anniversary or special trip you’d like to tell us about, email me at Deb.Cooper@caninechronicle.com or nustarshowdogs@comcast.net.

Until next time…..
