What images do the 1980s conjure up for you? Big hair? Shoulder pads? Michael Jackson’s moonwalk? Pop music? Dynasty? Or maybe it’s ET, The Goonies, leg warmers, or Walkmans?

Once every five years, like some kind of enchantment, the Morris & Essex dog show appears on the grounds of Colonial Park in Somerset, New Jersey. The Park’s 685 acres are home to a botanical garden and various recreational activities for the community, but when the dog show takes over, it becomes a vibrant and colorful link between the past and the present.

I was raised in a tightly knit family. A sister and a brother born to my maternal grandparents married a brother and sister born to my paternal grandparents. In the forties, this was not as unusual as you might think. Young adults went out with the friends of their siblings. Like my parents, they fell in love. Eventually, one couple married. Soon after, the other couple married, too. That, obviously, created a very close family group. Both sides were the same. I grew up with all female first cousins. We always celebrated holidays, birthdays, and larger family occasions together. Meeting for Chinese food dinners on Sundays was a family favorite. My parents dressed my older sister and me in matching clothes when we were together. Both of us hated that. My sister’s face in all the family photos made that quite clear. I kept my opinion to myself.

When you’ve been gone and come home, does your dog dance around wagging his or her tail? Or, has your dog growled when another dog approached him or her? We interpret these actions as the dog being happy to see us or that they love to see us in the first situation, and that Fido doesn’t like the approaching dog in the second.

My latest travel took me to Santa Rosa, California–not for wine tasting–but for a dog show! Once again, the Harvest Moon Cluster hosted a beautiful dog show at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. While the entry was down slightly, the clubs did not hold back when it came to hospitality and accommodations for the exhibitors and judges. An […]
