![]() Bianka was a long time ago and I have just a few pictures of her now, which I look at, with much nostalgia for my spent youth. I also remember that year, attending an exhibition sheep-herding in New York’s Central Park. We were out-classed by professional and experienced handlers. That same year, I tried showing my then new German Shepherd (Bianka) in the puppy class of a dog show on Staten Island. It was retrieved only after some x-rays and endoscopy which cost a not so small fortune. About a year ago, she did swallow a wedding band. She likes to climb their very comfortable easy chair and sit on the back looking over my shoulder. Apparently, Badger is a little terrorist. (Foxie is after Foxe’s Book of Martyrs and Lily after the Easter flower.) Now they have Badger, a girl, who must be approaching 2 years old. First, they had Calvin (after John Calvin). My very good friends, Dave and Katie, have owned Corgis, almost the entire time that I have known them. Best of luck with the book!īy the way, I just finished reading "The Good Ones." Loved it! Reply Delete Thank you for giving your readers a glimpse of what they do, and getting Bella to a better place. But bless the rescuers! They give up time, energy, shoes, upholstery, decor, mileage, and a lot of heart to get dogs (and cats) out of bad situations and into healthy ones. As an adult I'm afraid I fall into the skeptical zone, where I still love the breeds and their unique characteristics, but have my doubts about amateur breeders, and really hate the puppy mill/backyard breeder/why-bother-to-neuter? crowd who make dog rescue efforts necessary. I used to go to local dog shows as an adolescent, because I loved looking at all the dogs. She's the only one of my dogs who watches TV at all, but she appears to understand that the flickering images on the screen represent recognizable things, despite their lack of smell. I didn't watch the Westminster this year, but I always try to catch the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving, mostly because my border collie, Zoe, is just fascinated by it. ![]()
