Not more than 2′ from the bedroom window is a Yew bush that houses a bird feeder. The bush offers the birds a little bit of protection from the elements while they dine. Because the feeder is only about 4 or 5 feet off of the ground, it also attracts deer! This is good news for Brewster and Savannah! Not only do they have an opportunity to watch their feathered friends dart in and out for seeds, but deer regularly visit the feeder as well – especially at night! Whenever the motion light turns on, Brewster and Savannah race to the window to watch a real live version of “Animal Planet”. This was 11:30 PM last night. The snow was falling and it was blustery and cold, but the deer are hungry and they came to say hello and have a snack!

CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) judge Gary Veach spent time at last year’s World Show teaching future judges about the Tonkinese. Don’t you love this cat’s two light colored paws and two dark paws? What a willing participant in Gary’s breed seminar! Tonkinese are social, playful and are convinced that humans are put on earth to love them. At least so says the CFA breed profile!

“Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished.”
I need to change this quote so that it reads….
“Once you have had a wonderful dog or cat, a life without one is a life diminished.”
There…that’s much better!

I can’t help but think about all of the dogs and cats (and other animals, too!) that don’t have a home, food, shelter and someone to love and care for them! It breaks my heart to think of them being outside in the cold and searching for food on their own. Reach out and help your local animal shelters and rescues whenever possible so that they may continue their dedicated work in finding forever homes for the animals in their care. Whenever I look at my two little cats, I think of them being outside in the cold of December searching for anything they could find to eat and a place to stay warm. Thankfully, there were wonderful people who came to their rescue and helped their stories have a happy ending!

I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting ringside at the show, with my 70-200mm lens, taking close ups while the dogs were being examined by the judge. All of them poised and putting their best paw forward! It’s so much fun to have a connection to the dog show community and have the opportunity to see and photograph so many wonderful canines!
