“Just A Dog”

From time to time people tell me,
“Lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or,
“That’s a lot of money for just a
dog.” They don’t understand the distance
traveled, time spent, or costs involved for
“Just a dog.” Some of my proudest moments
have come about with “Just a dog.” Many
hours have passed with my only company
being “Just a dog,” and not once have I felt
sligted. Some of my saddest moments
were brought about by “Just a dog.” In
those days of darkness, the gentle touch of
“Just a dog” provided comfort and purpose
to overcome the day.

If you, too, think its “Just a dog,” you
will probably understand phrases like
“Just a friend,” “Just a sunrise,” or “Just a
promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life
the very essence of friendship, trust and
pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out
the compassion and patience that makes
me a better person. Beacuse of “Just a dog”
I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future.

For me and folks like me, it’s not “Just a
dog.” It’s an embodiment of all the hopes
and dreams of the future, the fond memories
of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me
and diverts my thoughts away from myself
and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday people can understand
it’s not “Just a dog.” It’s he thing that
gives me humanity and keeps me from
being “Just a man or woman.”

So the next time you hear the phrase “Just
a dog,” smile, because they “Just Don’t
Understand.”

Today was one of the two show days in Athens, TN; 2 shows today.

There was a large class of Rat Terrier Champions and Clique didn’t place.

However, Ms. Breck took a competition win Best Female in Show 2 under Violet Denney for her first Major towards her Champion title! We are very pleased! Her brother, Frost, took Best of Winners in Show 2 under Judge Violet Denney for his first major of his showing career as well.

So, not a total bust today Very nice Rattie turn out at this show and many very nice specimens of the breed.

Tomorrow is 2 more shows and another day. *Fingers crossed*
