I don’t always pay a whole lot of attention to the judges at the dog shows, mainly because I’m concentrating so much on the dogs in the ring.  This judge, however, captured my attention because she really seemed to be enjoying each and every dog that she met.  A soft touch and warm smile must make all of those dogs feel more comfortable when she greets them, especially the newbies that may be in the ring for the very first time!  I love this photo – it’s from the Lancaster Kennel Club show in Lebanon, Pa. last weekend.
