Pumpkins, pumpkin spice lattes, but oh – those leaves! Even so - Fall is probably my favorite season.

I just have to give a shout out to member Dee Landis and her girl Citri. Citri (who is blind) attained her Advanced CGC title (see page 18) – what an amazing team! Another amazing team is member Coleen Hahn and her boy Smoke. During the aftermath of hurricane Ian, Allstate Insurance sent out a need for therapy dogs to man their disaster claims centers. Coleen and Smoke showed up and offered the residents comfort, conversation – allowing them to forget their problems, even if for a moment (see page 19.)

As you all know, this issue debuts the club’s first Promising Puppy Contest. Boy, all the entries show such promise! Thank you to all who participated. I hope members enjoy picking out their favorite. Look for a club email in December to cast your vote!

Wishing everyone a blessed and joyous holiday season. And, don’t forget to count those blessings. Cheers, Liz
