Our Florida Saluki Club sponsored the Saluki Club of America Eastern
Regional Show, and our club specialty show, and we held it in affiliation
with a 4-day all-breed show. Well we had a GREAT Show. There were 80
Saluki entries. Ava went Reserve Winners Bitch one day, and took 2 second
places two other days (and blew the fourth day, but after those wins we
forgave her). My son's Greater Swiss Mountain Dog in the all-breed show was
Winners Dog, for a 3-point major to finish his American Kennel Club
Championship, and his 9-month-old puppy took Winners Bitch and Best of
Opposite Sex, for her first 3-point major. This show was in Ocala. I have
never seen so many Salukis all at once and they are so beautiful. I would
have been happy to come home with just one ribbon in the kind of company
that was there, so we are pretty pleased. We plan to take her to the Saluki
Nationals in Kentucky in June.
Then last week I was in Reno for the Arabian Horse Association Convention.
I swear I am going to give up flying for good and the heck with the
Convention, though I have attended them for 45 years. Next year it will be
in Orlando and I can drive.
So, that's where I have been. Haven't had time to catch up on the news.
Will peruse them over the holiday.

Welcome back. Sounds like you have fun. Happy Thanksgiving to you and
yours.

Flying used to be fun, but it's nothing but an ordeal these days, especially
being crammed into the plane like sardines in a can. Glad you got home
safe!
Happy Thanksgiving!

When I was young, we always flew space-available (because it was free or
cheaper that way, depending on whether we flew on the airline my dad
worked for or another one) and I am sure I was ALWAYS stuck in the back
row of coach in between two chain-smokers puffing away as if their lives
depended upon it. Now, that's what I call an ordeal...
Yep, that sounds nasty!
