One of the first things I do when I arrive at a dog show is buy a program book and browse through to see if any of my favorite dogs are entered.  [Yes, I admit it, I do have favorites!]  When I read through the Australian Shepherd entries at the Mid-Susquehanna Valley Kennel Club show in Middleburg, Pa. on Saturday, I saw the name “Ch. Wyndstar’s Honorable Mention”.  Hmmm….that sounds familiar, I thought.  Then it finally came to me that it was, Jack, of “Show Dog: The Charmed Life and Trying Times of a Near-Perfect Purebred” fame!  That’s the book written by Josh Dean about Jack’s adventures both in and out of the ring and I highly recommend that you pick it up – or download it – whatever works for you!  It’s a great read!  Jack and I got acquainted back in April at a show in Harrisburg, Pa. and so I was excited to have a chance to say hello to him [and his owners Kim and Tom] again!  He gave me a doggie hug on Saturday and I took some new photos of him.  This one is my favorite!  Love you Jack!
