The Specialty I did not attend — but that I worked hours and hours and hours on — is over! I am exhausted — that newsletter is so time consuming.
Dear Daughter, knowing that I was getting up before 3:30 each morning to start work on it with Jay (Suzanne’s partner), asked me yesterday why I do it. I was flummoxed.
I have been pondering her question and I am not sure I have the best answer and especially right now when I am in the throes of Specialty Newsletter Recovery — but I think it is because I enjoy doing it.
Having Jay on board to do the graphics and lay-out has been amazing — we are a good team. Each of us gets to do what we like to do — I like the writing and he is masterful at the graphics part of things. I know how Specialties and dog events go and get reported, and so I bring that as well.
It also helps that I know so many people. They contribute to the newsletter by sending photos, giving me tips, answering questions, and so on. How did I know, for example, that the hotel coffee was not functional yesterday — again! #friends #gratitude
If you have not read all the week’s newsletters, go HERE.
But never mind that Specialty, my sights are set on 2023, which starts in 364 days.

The WEBSITE is up and I have already spent consider $$$ on the Ways and Means — I especially encourage you to grab the Lucky Socks as they are almost sold out and there won’t be more; I ordered two pairs.
I also sponsored a Tracking Trophy — the 2022 Show Chair denied us a Tracking Test, which was not cool. I am so grateful to have Tracking back in 2023 and encourage anyone who cares about Tracking to sponsor a trophy. Here is the LINK to do that.
You can even dedicate your trophy sponsorship and that will get published. I thought about this: In Memory of M-A’s Really $hitty Situation because it is becoming a bad memory but then I decided to focus my mind on a good memory instead — and I sponsored that trophy in honor of my sweet Champion Tracker, Asia. Forever loved and appreciated.

More on the many why’s soon.
Happy Sunday!
