Gone to the Dogs

I haven't blogged much recently because, for the second straight year, I'm serving as a judge for the Dog Writer's Association of America's writing contest. I have a 10 lb. box of materials in my study containing magazine articles, books, posters, etc. that must be read and critiqued by November 20. I'm judging articles written for special publications, color photography, and illustration this year. It's a lot of fun and I'm becoming quite an expert on training Rottweilers, grooming and bathing puppies, and pet therapy programs.
