It’s been almost four years since I officially retired from professional handling. I know there was that earlier time when I announced my retirement. My hip was so bad I just couldn’t drag my carcass around the ring. I received so many accolades, I started wondering when I had passed away. It truly was overwhelming. Makes me blush just thinking about them all. Anyway, I had my hip replacement surgery and I felt like a million bucks again. Well, a hundred thousand anyway. And when the pandemic shut everything down, I really got to rehab. When the world opened back up again, I was fit as a fiddle–to a degree. But not working for a year, well, I wasn’t eating Kraft® dinner but things could have been better. Shows started up and I did what I knew best. I started showing dogs. Now, I have really retired. Not the Mike Tyson kind, for real this time–I promise.

What should we do? There are at least two different ways to think about it. Are we ready to go out to celebrate, or too exhausted to deal with any of it?

The Lincoln Memorial; Arlington Cemetery; the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; the 9/11 Memorial and Museum; Lord Nelson’s column in Trafalgar Square; that little metal disc in the town square or village green almost anywhere in the U.S. with a modest inscription commemorating the life of someone important to that community who may have died to protect it.

The device we know today as the paper clip looks the same as it did in 1893. Its design was magnificent; no one since has invented a better way to do what it does so well. Oh sure, many have tried, but none have succeeded because the original needs no improvement. (There is even a book about it – The Perfection of the Paper Clip). The #2 lead pencil is another design that needs occasional sharpening, but its perfection has defied the need for change.
