The flooding has hit many of the dog fanciers we know and see around the rings each weekend. According to Daryl Martin, longtime breeder and exhibitor Shannon Moberly lost her home, car, motorhome and personal belongings. Luckily, she was able to save herself and her dogs along with her late husband’s ashes, but the rest of her possessions are gone.

I received sad news this past weekend and wish to extend my deepest sympathies to Katherine Wurtz-Smoot on the loss of her mother. She had been battling cancer for some time. I was also very saddened to hear of the passing of Ralph DeLaFuente. Many of you remember Ralph as a long-time Shar-Pei enthusiast who owned Ch. Grayland’s Starlite Margaret aka “Margaret”. Margaret was the multiple Best In Show winner, who was shown to perfection by Vicki Seiler.

Congratulations to Bob Busby and Erika Bigott on their recent engagement! It will be great to see Erika stateside again. Speaking of stateside again, Scott Kipp paid a visit to Wisconsin from his new home in Germany recently.

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.

Happy 15th Anniversary to Kim and Angela Booth! It was only yesterday that I remember these two lovebirds tying the knot. My how time flies!
