Over the weekend, I went to the Palm Springs Kennel Club Dog Show. There were over 7,000 dogs being shown, but the best dog is the one being loved by a little girl. This Great Dane is being loved by the owner's granddaughter. Some of the dogs in this show will go on to compete next in New York at the Westminster Kennel Club Show. The Best in Show winner was Brighton Lakeridge Encore, a standard poodle.
On our trip to Lake Havasu City, AZ, I went to visit Dr. Ash Kaushesh, DDS,while cousins Jim and Pat had t
heir teeth cleaned. In the picture at the left, Tina starts to "gas" me so Dr. Kaushesh could do some work on my mouth. I guess all the procedures went well while I slept.
I made a new friend recently while I was in the Tucson area. Joyce invited Betty, Billy and me over for lunch (cousins Jim and Pat came along, too). We had a great time. The weather was great so we could sit on the patio.
This picture was taken when I was out walking with Sami one morning this week. We are looking west, with Pikes Peak in the right-center of the picture. There was a huge cloud overhead and the sun was just coming up in the east.
I was recently in Indiana and met some of my "cousins" for dinner. We had a great time catching up since I last saw them five years ago.
Here is the picture of Tixnow which didn't get published with the report on the KY Horse Farm tour.
Today I went on a tour of several horse farms in the Lexington, KY, area. In the picture to the left is Tixnow, who is standing at stud at WinStar Farms. The horse business is suffering some right now, but there are still studs commanding fees of $100,000 or more. I also visited the Kentucky Yearlings Sale and the prices are down. It certainly is a good time to buy a horse.
