I woke up in my basket, the day after you’d gone.
I felt so sad and lonely, no lap to sit upon.
I had no-one to run to,
No treats to take with glee.
I had no plans for walkies, now you are not with me.
I know I’ll be looked after,
I know they will be kind.
But you were my true Mistress,
And I’ve been left behind.
I hope your journey’s peaceful and all I wish and pray,
Is I’ll be there beside you,
Once again one day.

Hay season is so stressful..be happy when it quits growing and fall arrives
So happy to see lots if doggie people supporting the kennel club at the August meeting. The club has lots of fun stuff coming up, so come out and enjoy. If you have ideas, let me know them. Hope your summer has been filled with family, dogs, and friends…fall awaits us!!!!
Thank you, Carol Dowd Kamalbake, for sharing Fancy with us, as well as your expertise in this very special breed during our August 10 Regular Meeting.
Fancy is a Grand Champion. And Carol described the breed standard as well as Fancy’s strongest points. She was also generous enough to ATTEMPT to tell us she has a weak point – but she couldn’t fool us. Just look at Fancy – She is perfect!
Our next Meet the Breed offering will be during our September Meeting, when Member Mary Wood introduces us to her Berger Picard, Remi.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION:
Meet the Berger Picard – Mary Wood
The Berger Picard was recognized as a breed by the AKC in 2015.
The very image of a sagacious and worldly Frenchman
loyal / good-natured / observant
Picards spent centuries as take-charge independent problem-solvers
Erect ears standing 4 to 5 inches high
Wavy fawn or brindle coat
Strong tail that tapers to a distinctive J-hook.
Males stand as high as 26 inches, and females as low as 21 inches.
The eyes are dark and glistening
Rectangular head is furnished with shaggy eyebrows, beard, and mustache
The Berger Picard is an ideal companion for athletic owners.
Their rugged constitution, agility, and boundless energy make them eager partners in all kinds of sports, games, and outdoor pastimes.
Exercise is a must; prolonged idleness and neglect will likely lead these sensitive, super-smart dogs to destructive behavior.
