Crufts 2022

No More Cheap Champions
You have, very likely, heard about it or even experienced it. I am referring to the idiom “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” It is meant to express a minor action or occurrence that causes an unexpected or sudden need for action.

Ukraine Dogs
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.

The Big E – East of Eden
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.
