I am sad to report that Ellen Yamada passed away last week. She is remembered by those close to her as always being optimistic, encouraging and supportive of those around her. She was an instrumental member of the Orange Empire Dog Club as well as a dedicated and devoted fancier. Please keep Burt and the Yamada family in your thoughts at this most difficult time. Ellen will be sorely missed by the fancy and all who loved her.
Congratulations to Phil Booth and Heidi Hartman who tied the knot a couple weeks ago! Best wishes for a bright future filled with love and happiness.

Well, Crufts 2023 is in the rearview mirror, and I enjoyed watching all the show updates and excitement shared by all of our American friends at the show! The USA was well-represented, indeed! For many, showing a dog at Crufts is a dream, while others dream of attending as a spectator. It is certainly on my bucket list!
