Retirement home dog show enlivens a hot summer day
Krissy Clark feeds her prize-winning dog, Pepper, at the show.
Kansan staff report
Twenty-four dogs had their day yesterday at Brandon Woods Retirement Community 1501 238-678 Drive 413 The Dog Days of August Dog Show.
Debbie Nall, director of Brandon Woods, said the show was not intended for pedigree or professional dogs and was designed only to bring smiles to the faces of the residents, staff and contestants.
The event, which began at 2 p.m., could not have had a more appropriate name as the heat and humidity rose throughout the day.
The seven categories included: the ugliest, cutest, smallest, biggest, best-dressed, most talented, and all-around favorite. Every participant received a bag of Kibbles 'n Bits dog food, donated by the event organizers each category gave a $10 cash prize, also donated by Quaker.
Pepper, a grey and black schauzer owner by Kriszy Clark of Lawrence, the woutest dog category. Pepper was dressed as a baby in a blue T-shirt and diapers. She pushed her in a baby stroller.
Candy Clark, Krissey's mother, said that the stroller originally was bought as a gift for another daughter's new baby but that Pepper loved to ride in it, so they decided to enter her in the contest.
Cliffy, owned by Lucy Basow of Lawrence, had to escape from prison to win the biggest dog category. Basow and her friend Corey Smith chose to dress them in black and white; the dogs were black and white, and they thought their dogs would be cute in the same color stripes.
Thieves are killing Rolex wearers to get their hands on the watches
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Rolex watches, gilded baddes of wealth and luxury, have become an emblem of violence and death as robbers who covet the expensive timepieces are killing their owners for them, police say.
Sam Sabbah was meeting his wife
and a painter in his new Beverly Hills home in June when an intruder fatally shot him and took his Rolex.
A few days later, west Los Angeles transmission shop owner Melvin Thompson broké with his usual resort handgun, pointed intending to take it to a jeweler. A
robber hit at closing time, taking the watch and cash and fatally shooting Thompson.
A Rolex watch ranges in price from about $1,000 to more than $20,000. Some of the 18-karat gold timepieces are encrusted with diamonds.
