Rabid Rescue Dog
“I told you so” is pretty well-established as a useless approach to any productive debate. And honestly, in most of those situations, the dreadfully predictable outcome is nothing to gloat about.

Table Talk ·August 11, 2021
Southern California fanciers lost a familiar voice this past weekend with the passing of Dick Vail. Dick was the announcer at most of the Southern California dog shows for many years and was loved by all that knew him. Dick’s son, Bill, has taken over his duties in recent years, but he still came to visit whenever possible. Rest In Peace, Dick. The Southern California shows will not be the same without you.
