CONNIE WAGNER is retiring from her longtime position as representative of PURINA® PRO PLAN® and a popular and familiar face at many dog shows that PURINA® supports. CONNIE will now have more time to devote to her grandchildren and of course her Dalmatians. All of us at DOG NEWS send our best wishes for a long and happy retirement. Following the well-attended and uplifting celebration of life for the late IRIS LOVE, held the Monday of the Westminster Kennel Club, ANNE RADICE has reminded her friends that on the same day this week it’s the 53th anniversary of NEIL ARMSTRONG’S walk on the moon and IRIS’ discovery of the TEMPLE OF APHRODITE at Knidos, Turkey. APHRODITE was the GODDESS OF LOVE and the MOON. Was it Kismet?
