By Caroline Coile Ph.D. “I’m sorry, dogs.” These were my last thoughts right before slamming head-on into a concrete interstate barrier at 65 mph. This being my first try at high speed collisions, I wasn’t sure if I would live, but I was sure my loose dogs would not. Yes, I knew they should have [...]
When you own large breeds—like me—you run out of food and treats fast. Luckily, I am able to go to my local Dollar General to provide my “four-legged family” with quality toys, treats, and beds at an affordable price! Dog shows can be expensive. When I’m traveling I know I can go to Dollar [...]
I took a drive up to Waukesha, Wisconsin to check in on my friends from the Midwest this past weekend. These are shows I used to attend with great regularity when I lived in the greater Chicagoland area and they were always very well run by Esmae and Al Treen and their club members. I [...]
I sit in the waiting room with my dog, Luna. She is hyperventilating and shaking. Another dog lunges toward her and she tries to get away, but slips on the floor. We wait. She pants. We wait. She shakes. I question whether she would have been better off had I just tried to treat her at home. And I wonder when she started to be so frantic about going to the vet. Sadly, there are many candidate experiences. Way too many.
I also received news of the passing former judge Glenda Dawkins. Glenda and her husband, Pete, were respected judges as well as hound and toy experts. Everyone who knew her will remember her kind demeanor and gentle smile that was graciously given to all.

Sadly, the California heat caused more fires and Bob and Deedee Caswell lost their home. They got 7 of their dogs out, but some were lost in the fire. Our thoughts are with Bob and Deedee at this tragic time.
It is hard to believe that the 4th of July holiday is here already! It seems that Memorial Day was just the other day. Time flies… Last year I was attending the Burbank Kennel Club and Ventura Dog Fanciers cluster on this same weekend. I know many of you, along with me, will miss the weekend at the beach this year. It was definitely one of my all-time favorite shows.
