Evan, a friend has invited me to a California show coming up in a couple months. I'm thinking about taking her up on the offer. I've been wanting to visit the West Coast for a long time. Last time I visited California was in the 80's. I hope not much has changed because I loved it then!

The good times weren't just about the dogs. Perhaps everyone is just getting too old and too tired for this stuff? Not meant as a criticism -- I'm not exactly a teenager myself anymore. I think everyone needs a trip to California. We still have a great time at the shows, talk dogs all day, and laugh constantly. The one constant I hear from judges is how much fun we seem to have, and how good we take the judging. I have been going back and forth with the Coleman's beautiful puppy. Jill gets best puppy one day, and their bitch gets it the next. A one show, Sharlonna, who shows the Coleman puppy, ran to get me a lead, since mine was too short. We all have fun at the shows, we enjoy the dogs, each other, and even the judging, sometimes. It may be that we are all crazy out here, but if so, then point me to the asylum.
