Well Dog Show on August 30th

WELL DOG SHOW

Are you the proud owner of an all-Indian dog? If yes, get ready to show off your best friend of the four-legged kind at the Blue Cross Well Dog Show – celebrated every year as the dog show with a difference. The dogs have unique personalities, are a mixture of various breeds and have heartwarming rescue and adoption stories to tell. And the event is also a tribute to their companions- people who’ve chosen to take in an animal in need, regardless of their non-pedigree parentage. In fact, Indian breeds (also known as mongrels) are known for their robust immune systems that make them less susceptible to illnesses. Their fur coats are also perfectly suited to Indian climatic conditions and these country dogs live long and healthy lives.

The show highlights the lovable qualities of a dog that are observable even when they’re just being themselves. This means no ‘tricks’, performances, obstacle courses, jumping through hoops or unnatural hand-shakes. The coveted titles at this annual show include “Best Rescue” (for a dog with a fascinating rescue story), “Survivor Award” (for a pet who has triumphed over a serious accident or illness) and random fun titles like “The Dog with the Waggiest Tail”.

As Dr. S. Chinny Krishna, Chairman of Blue Cross puts it- “Our objective is to demonstrate our pride in our All-Indian dogs”. Certificates, gift hampers, freebies and medals will be doled out to the dogs and their companions. While there are special categories of prizes for dogs with the rarest spots or best-maintained fur coat, anyone who has participated in the Blue Cross Well Dog Show knows that their dog is already a winner.

I will miss you 'Ergo" :(

Dudes.....
longtime no see :) long working hours...no walking..no exercises, no blogging....today I decided to return home early as Kappa started missing me so much :)

oops...I have a bad news...real bad news for people like me..
Ergo is shutting doors, 31st july would be the last day it seems :) The magazine has anyways promised an online presence..but nothing satisfies like a print edition :) as well, not sure about the sections that would be retained in the online version, am really unhappy about this :(

Ergo's contribution towards AWPT's visibility is simply undeniable...A lot of appeals & requests have reached people and brought more volunteers to AWPT. Ergo helped people like to me to improve their writing skills, no articles sent to ergo remained unpublished. It has been a main source of encouragement for chennai youth to write more...

Anyways, I wish Ergo for a successful online presence and I also request the management to allocate sufficient space for pet columns, this serves the animal welfare community to a greater extent :)
