It was St. Patrick’s Day and Best in Show at the Delaware County Kennel Club show went to Clancy, an Irish Terrier!  How fitting is that?  I remember sitting ringside when the Terrier Group was in the ring.  The word I used to describe Clancy at the time was attentive.  He would catch a glimpse and focus on a person walking past the ring and never took his eyes off of them.  I was starting to think that they must have some mighty good food that he was looking at, but no…he was just that attentive to the activity going on around him.  What an impressive dog!  Congratulations Clancy and handler Adam Bernardin.

I went to the Delaware County Kennel Club show in York, Pa. on Saturday – what a fun time!  This is a large 5-day show with rings in 3 different buildings.  I spent my day in the Toyota arena, visiting with friends and photographing lots of dogs.  This little Pomeranian stole my heart the second I saw that sweet little face!  If you and/or your dog were at this show on Saturday, drop me a line and I’ll look to see if I have any photos to share! 

Ahem…..I think I can tell the difference between a real goose and these plastic ones!!

Each year there is a very special event held in Harrisburg, Pa. to benefit Susquehanna Service Dogs – it’s called “Pawsabilities”.  Susquehanna Service Dogs trains and provides service and hearing dogs to children and adults to help them to become more independent.  The event is educational, fun, and so very touching when you see the wonderful work the service and hearing dogs do as faithful companions to those in their care.  To learn more about Susquehanna Service Dogs, visit their website:  http://www.keystonehumanservices.org/susquehanna-service-dogs/default.php  The blog image is from this past weekend’s event and features a very attentive Lab and his forever friend!
