Canine Center takes great pleasure in inviting you to an exciting
weekend dedicated to training your dog to be a great show dog and
you to be a great handler.
"Only 15 Points to Go" is an information-packed seminar covering
all aspects of showing a dog presented by professional handler,
Greg Strong. Beginner and intermediate handlers will benefit
greatly from Greg's experience and knowledge of the show dog
world, while seasoned handlers can gain valuable insight into
the finer points of handling.
The
seminar is meant to help improve handling skills. Dogs should have
enough ring experience that participants can focus on learning
themselves and not struggling with a puppy. There are a maximum of
25 working spots available and participants are expected to attend
both days. Unlimited Auditors.

Just a
Dog
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or,
"that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance
traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours
have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel
slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in
those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort
and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand
phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just
a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure
unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that
make me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog"
but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond
memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from
myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the
thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog," just smile, because they
"just don't understand."
A PET'S
TEN COMMANDMENTS.........
1. My life is likely to
last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to
understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me.
It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me
for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends,
your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I
don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however
you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me,
before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to
bite you.
8. Before you scold me for
being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my
heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me
when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate
difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't
make me face this alone.
Everything is easier for me
if you are there, because I love you so.
~Be thankful for your pets.
Enjoy and take good care of them.
Life would be a much
duller, less joyful experience without critters.
