I’m taking a minute of editorial privilege during this extraordinary time to encourage you to help others where you can. Here’s what’s in front of my house right now. I’m not doing it for compliments. I’m doing it because there are people in my community in need, and it makes me feel better to do SOMETHING when my family has been so fortunate.
I’ve contacted a few pet stores and Chewy.com to see if I can add some pet food to my inventory.
Please consider helping out, either by setting up your own little grocery or by sending a contribution to me via PayPal to [email protected] so I can keep this going.

From The Dog Lady’s mailbag: The American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog is pleased to announce that the official bronze statue of Sgt. Stubby, a distinguished World War I war dog will be housed permanently at the AKC Museum of the Dog. The sculpture will be unveiled on May 23, 2019.

Colton, the Schipperke chosen last night as the winner of the Non-Sporting Group, will not be permitted to compete this evening in the Best in Show competition.
There is a conflict of interest involving the judge and Colton’s ownership team. No one did anything wrong, they are just removing the possibility that anyone could claim the judge showed favoritism to a team with which he had a closer relationship than with other teams. The judge cannot recuse, so the dog must be excused.
The runner-up does not get to complete in Colton’s place; the Non-Sporting Group simply will not be represented in the ring.
The winner of the Herding Group, progressing on to tomorrow night’s Best in Show, is: Bouviers des Flandres “Baby Lars” (Makes me think of Baby Shark – sorry!)
Runners up are:
2nd place: Border Collie “Slick”
3rd place: German Shepherd Dog “Tony”
4th place: Old English Shepherd “Elsa”
Come back tomorrow for the Sporting, Working, and Terrier Groups.

Anybody besides me remember the children’s book called “I’ll Love You Forever”. I always thought it was kind of creepy because this lady sneaks into her adult son’s bedroom at night to sing her little bedtime song. Somehow, when it’s a pet, it’s not creepy at all!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
