Dog Show

Kimberly and my parents’ collie, Rambo, entered the dog show at the Lampeter Fair. Rambo dressed up for the occasion with a formal collar and tie. He looked very snazzy. They were entered in four separate competitions. They were obedience, tricks, grooming and biggest dog. Rambo and Kimberly took home two blue ribbons, a red and a yellow. I think Rambo winked at the judges a few times as they seemed quite smitten with him. Rambo knows; when you got it, work it! And he does.

The sad thing of the evening was the man that came in to the arena during the downpour of rain. He collapsed in the bleachers. It took a long time to get anyone to him that knew CPR and much longer to get an ambulance crew to him. Unfortunately we read in the paper on Saturday that the man died. He was a local farmer with a large family; a wife, children and grandchildren.
