Gail here is perhaps thinking "Nge kyi, khye-rang-gi kyi le, che-ua du" (1),
while Muggles is perhaps thinking "Nga me yag-po din-tso ga-go yo" (2) (or perhaps not).
(1) My dog is bigger than yours!
(2) I like these nice people!

A group of Dr. Clark's clients (and their owners ;^) had a successful trip to the Garden City Kansas Kennel Club Dog Show, Obedience and Rally Trials on March 7-9, 2008, in Garden City, Kansas. The weather was agreeable, the venue was pleasant, and both Garden City and the Kennel Club were wonderful hosts. (If you visit Garden City, be sure to try Zarape's, The Grain Bin, and Sammy's Restaurants!).

A breed champion and no novice to dog shows, Ronin found the Rally and Obedience rings a lot more challenging, and provided an interesting spectacle as you can see in this video on YouTube.
