LEAD IN

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.


TTL activity was bustling in December:


The booth had a wonderful weekend at the Big E during the Eastern KC shows that included our annual Photos with Santa. Many thanks to John and Andrea Ashbey.



The Orlando Booth, held in conjunction with the Orlando Cluster and AKC Championship Show, was, as usual, hectic and fun. Special thanks to Joan Scott and Randy Garren who held down the fort. We are so grateful to East Coast Crates, Pete and Rachel Irvin, who donated their fabulous crates to the raffle. And, thanks to everyone who stopped by - whether to generously support us, or just chat.


New to the Orlando week festivities was the Best in Show Magazine Gala. TTL was honored to be the beneficiary of their fantastic auction.


Looking forward to seeing all of you in 2025. Thanks so much for your allegiance and support. Best of luck with your dogs. They are what brings us together!
