One of my favorite books is called “Double Take, A Retrographic Survey of Madison, Wisconsin” by Zane Williams. I read it at least twice a year. This book is fascinating for many reasons. First, I live here in Madison. Second, it is a history book. Third, it is a photography book.

IKC Dog Show Chicago
We have a lot of weighty posts here at Chicago Boyz so I figured I’d post one that was just fun
On Sunday I attended the IKC Chicago dog show at McCormick Center. The fun part of the show is not the judging or the agility contests like they show on TV but it is the fact that you can walk through and see all of the dog owners grooming and preparing their dogs prior to the show. It is also interesting to walk down a row and see lots and lots of dogs of the same breed, even if it is a rare one. I highly recommend attending – pretty much everyone there seemed to be having a good time.
The little dogs and the big dogs are a lot of work to prepare for judging. The effort spent on getting their coats ready to go takes hours.
I use Picasa 3 which is a google product for photo editing and made this you tube video of all my pictures. I originally had “hound dog” by Elvis in the background but You Tube stripped that out so now it is silent – use your own music. It is just a couple of minutes long and very family friendly so watch it with your kids or kids who aren’t yours for that matter. It is about 2 minutes long.
Here is a link to the movie.
Enjoy!
