CHRISTINE’S CORNER BY Christine Pace
I traveled to Cherokee (NC) last Thursday where I taught two classes on sculpting on gourds. I’ll be teaching one class in August at our Cedar Mountain “Mountain Gourd Gathering” too. More on this in a week or two. It will be our 10th year.
Returning Sunday afternoon I was pleasantly surprised to see my grass had been cut; thank you “whomever”!
While gone, my pup, Rockefeller, stayed with Candy Gray, mentioned above as a dog trainer with her multi-titled border collie “Rain”. Rocky fit right in and, upon retrieving her on Sunday, I was trained to keep the training up on what Candy had taught Rockefeller! Thank you Candy for taking such great care of my little Pom-Pom, and the head start you gave him (and me) towards earning his obedience title one day. When I grow up I want to be just like you!
AKC SANCTIONED DOG SHOW:
RAIN WINS WITH A PERFECT SCORE
“Rain”, the border collie belonging to Cedar Mountain resident Candy Gray, finished her 3rd leg needed to receive her Novice B title in Rally at the AKC Dog Show recently. And she received a perfect score of 100! Rain is shown here with her owner-handler Candy.
Rally is a type of obedience. The “B” means she was entered as having previously earned at least one AKC title; in this case, Rain had already earned her “Tricks” title and is a certified Therapy Dog. The next step will be for Candy to enter Rain in an advanced/intermediate Rally competition.
ROCKEFELLER WINS TOO:
Just for fun, I entered my Pomeranian “Rockefeller” in a confirmation puppy class, where he won Best of Breed! He won 4th place later in the mixed puppies’ class. I was proud of his showing because in the past few weeks I had to convince him to “stand” instead of sitting in the show ring. I never planned to show ‘Rocky in conformation, and instead had him trained to sit automatically when on leash with me. Conformation is over now for us, and he will begin official obedience training with the Hendersonville Kennel Club on June 16th.
By entering Rockefeller in the AKC show I was able to acclimate him to the hustle & bustle of a large dog show and the many sounds, and strangers, and various dogs all under one roof. Rocky wasn’t phased in his new surroundings, which was great! He didn’t mind the long hours it took to get through our two classes either; I concentrated on making the whole experience fun for him (and me) and in fact, we both had a great time!
AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young
Due to the pandemic, it’s been a long time since my hat club, the HmmmDingers has met. We had one lunch last November to celebrate our 19th anniversary but decided to hold off a while longer due to Covid. Several of us are reviving the HmmmDingers on the 23rd of June. The HmmmDingers were chartered 11-17-02 as Red Hatters but parted ways with them after a few years. Now we wear any hat we want including red ones. The club has only one rule and that is that you are required to wear a hat, the fancier the better but smaller headgear such as Fascinators are acceptable along with cute caps.
The HmmmDingers is meant for ladies of an age who may have received their AARP letters. Ha. We try to go to lunch once a month during the week and sometimes attend local events following lunch. We have a wonderful time. If any ladies are interested in this hat club please contact Linda Packer Young by emailing linday28718@gmail.com today.
