Friends in the south continue to contend with a serious outbreak of what has been identified as the H3N2 virus. The virus started spreading at the shows in Perry, Georgia and there have been several reported cases stemming from the Deland, Florida shows and surrounding areas in the Southeastern U.S. This virus is highly contagious and vets and the American Kennel Club are asking people to PLEASE keep your dogs home if they are coughing or demonstrating other clinical signs of the virus which can include lethargy, snotty nose, and related symptoms.

I was so happy to hear that Johnny Shoemaker is out of the hospital and doing better! We truly missed his presence at PCA this year where he was supposed to steward for the esteemed Poodle expert, Judge Frank Sabella.

I was glad to hear that Dave Slattum and all his dogs were okay after his vehicle was rear-ended while he was returning from shows this past weekend. Once again, the dog show community came together and Karla Edwards and John and Patricia Gillis helped Dave get all the dogs home safe!

The fancy was devastated this past week while dealing with the loss of several prominent friends. Many are grieving the loss of Norm Patton who suffered a massive stroke while at dinner with friends after a day of judging. Ceil Ruggles also suddenly passed away suddenly. Dr. Ruth Barstow passed away while travelling to the Cairn National from California, and finally Joel Rosenblatt, who has been ill for quite some time, succumbed to his illness. Our thoughts go out to all family and friends of these beloved individuals. They will be missed by all who knew them.
