This is American Staffordshire Terrier, “GCH An Garda Deja Vu Looking At You” photographed at the Bucks County Kennel Club show in Erwinna, Pa. in May. I love to photograph this dog – he’s simply stunning and he was Best of Breed that day at Bucks. If anyone can clue me in as to whether there is a good place to look online for the dogs’ call names, I’d appreciate it.

I spent some time today at the Kutztown Folk Festival in Kutztown, Pa. – a fun place to photograph! This image features a couple “hoedowning” on one of the entertainment stages. Hoedowning is a type of folk or square dance. It was 97 degrees outside today so I really felt for them out there kicking up their heels, but they made it look effortless! Tomorrow is the last day of the festival which celebrates the Pennsylvania Dutch Culture through exhibits, crafts, demonstrations, food, and entertainment. It’s always on my summer “to do” list. If you live in the area, check it out.

Our pets instinctively find ways to keep cool. But still, as pet parents it’s our responsibility to make sure that they are comfortable when the temperatures are on the rise. My cats are smart when it comes to finding the coolest spot in the house. Brewster lays on his back in the middle of the living room floor in front of the A/C and under the ceiling fan in the bedroom at night. I can almost hear him saying, “Ahhhh……!!!” Savannah likes to lay on the cool linoleum in the bathroom. This images features a Bernese Mountain Dog catching a breeze in front of a portable fan at the Huntingdon Valley Kennel Club show last month. On that particular day the temperature was in the low-mid 90’s with a lot of humidity. I’m looking forward to a couple of indoor shows this month!
