So many stories, and I thought - well, it's too late, but then - this is The Boss and I think I'll tell my story anyway.... We entered the ring first, Rachy and I. Rachy was winning a lot and I was very happy with his performance, and in the 12-18 month class he had already accumulated some points. We were hopeful again at this beautiful show grounds in Santa Cruz, until the last dog came in and took his lap around the ring. He was The Boss - and his call name said it all. The judge stood with his mouth opened watching him go around and then set to do his individuals. He came to Rachy, bend down to feel him, but missed - because he was looking back at The Boss, paying no attention at all to my dog. The judge apologized, so I leaned over to him and laughed and said, "Just give it to him and get him out of our class!" The judge laughed with me and did what I said. I have two Boss kids in my back yard, one that looks just like him. I think I'll go hug on them for the rest of the day!!! God Bless you Frank, Carolyn and Doris. No one else will ever know the depth of your loss. Some have ventured that there is a place for Boss at the bridge.... May I correct that - He now owns that site as well as he did all the others!
