If nothing else, this dog game instills a resourceful mentality. When we see a challenge, we devise a solution. Maybe it’s not neat or easy, but we generally get the job done. And that’s exactly how America’s purebred fancy has responded to the unfolding crisis in Ukraine. From the get-go, we understood the magnitude of the situation confronting Ukrainian dog owners. At this point in time, regardless of the scope of any natural or man-made disaster, there is no longer any debate about abandoning pets. No need to review the documented evidence of that fact. Regardless of any possible trauma they face, time and again we’ve watched people choose death over that loss. Bureaucracy no longer denies that reality. Unfortunately, that’s about as far as it’s gotten.

We love purebred dogs for their singularity—each breed designed for a different end—each both functional and beautiful. In their working lives—even as companion animals—we see examples of form following function. The long, low Dachshund; the pendulous Bloodhound; the solid and athletic Labrador Retriever. In conformation shows, we see these same qualities in an aesthetic context. “Best dog on the day” looks most like itself, and what it represents.

Here I am, just six miles east, but a world away from our previous home. Finally, I am taming the chaos. These past six weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and emotions. Making the decision to sell our home of twenty-one years was the easy part. We agreed. It was time. The selling part happened much faster than we ever expected. One open house on the Sunday before the Super Bowl brought several potential buyers. Early the next morning came an offer. How pleased we were that a lovely couple found our house to be as beautiful and unique as we did. Stately historic homes are definitely not for everyone, but it was perfect for them. Three days later the house was under contract

When we think of a sighthound, we think of the greyhound: “A Greyhound should be headed like a snake, And necked like a drake, Footed like a cat, Tailed like a rat, Sided like a teme, Backbone like a beam.” (Dame Juliana Berners’ Boke of St. Albans of 1486). To more or less extent, all sighthound breeds are—or should be—a variation on that theme. But it’s not always that easy…

It’s a big universe with over a hundred billion galaxies. Our Sun is just one of about 200 billion stars in our little galaxy. Inside our solar system there are 8 planets, 5 dwarf planets, 3,743 comets, and over a million asteroids. On our planet alone, we have war, famine, natural disasters, crime, and disease. But somehow, the biggest soul-crushing disaster in the center of the universe has become going third in the group in East Jawbip Kennel Club on Wednesday afternoon.

I remember my first dog show like it was yesterday. It was the Chicago International at McCormick Place Convention Center. While my mind was lost in amazement at the sheer scale of the show, the benches, the number of rings, etc., I was also physically lost trying to find my place to set up on the bench. I kept thinking, “Maybe I should have chosen a smaller, local show,” for my initial foray in the sport of purebred dogs, but my youth masked any apprehension I might have felt.
