This month’s column was written by Kevin Gallagher

It all started years ago while attending a local dog show.  My wife came up with the bright idea to get a Newfoundland.  I showed a little resistance, and then came the threat of the DIVORCE.  Being a newlywed and not wanting a public war to ensue, I caved in.  Little did I know that my weekends would be changed forever.  I would no longer be able to sleep late, put on my slippers and hang out on the couch and do nothing. In a short time, I was persuaded that we needed to show our new dog.  This led to more dogs and now with six in tow, my weekends are consumed from before daybreak until the wee hours of the night.

• Prepare an emergency kit of leashes, collars, extra ID tags, water, food, medications, health records, and photos to prove ownership.
