HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday celebration and are gearing up for New Year's Eve festivities.

TTL held its annual photos with Santa at the Eastern Dog Club Holiday Cluster Classic in W. Springfield, MA. Many thanks to Andrea Ashby and Mr. and Mrs. Santa (Drs. Judy and John Johnson). Thanks also to TTL volunteers Mari-Beth O'Neill, Terry Hundt and Pam Beale.

Two weeks later the booth was hopping at the AKC Championship Show in Orlando. TTL helpers included Susan Sprung, George Milutinovich, Pam Beale and Patty Proctor.
