Axel update! His first show will be on January 30. I won’t be there to see my aspiring butterfly in his AKC debut. I’m a little bit sad about that, but it is really for the best as he will show much better if he’s not looking around outside the ring for me. Plus I will be visiting my parents, who I don’t get to see nearly enough, and who are also half an ocean and half a continent away from the show site.
Now on to the shameless promotion promised in the title! I’m helping with a new Rottweiler publication, Total Rottweiler Magazine. I didn’t think I would ever get involved with another periodical. In some crazed and illogical unconscious attempt to prove that I do use what I learned in j-school, I’ve been newsletter/magazine editor for a couple of different clubs, and copy editor for another niche magazine. Some of those experiences were fun. Some sucked the life out of me.
I guess everyone is allowed to change their mind now and then, though. Total Rottweiler Magazine is off to a good start and I’m happy to be involved! If you are reading this and even remotely interested in Rottweilers, please consider subscribing or perhaps buying a single issue to check it out.
Now that Axel is almost officially a show dog, I have to shamelessly promote him, too. Here’s the ad I’ll be running in the magazine (sorry, it’s a repeat if you are reading this on LiveJournal).
If you click on it, the full sized version will show up (at least I think it will). I tried to make it almost a “teaser” since his show debut takes place after the ad deadline. The magazine is a quarterly, so hopefully by the time the next deadline rolls around, I’ll be able to list him as a Champion!
