As with a few of the other covers , I ran across a photo on Facebook and it spoke to me . Once I saw it , I could visual it gracing the cover of the Gazette . So , I reached out to Stephanie Lamp and she was courteous enough to share her dad ’ s photo ... with all of us . Thank you !
Oh , the stories those two could tell . And I love his shirt ! ( If you would like a shirt of your own , check out our merchandise on page 66 .)
Don ’ t forget , the May issue is when we do our cover contest ! I will be posting on Facebook , but if you aren ’ t on social media you can start submitting your photos ( along with the dog ’ s full registered name and number - dogs without this info will not be considered ) to my email heather @ adbadog . com We will begin accepting photos on March 1st - March 15th . A winner will be chosen and announced when we release the summer ( May ) issue of the Gazette . Submit as many photos as you would like , but please remember the cover is only for ADBA registered APBT ’ s .
Crazy to think , I crossed the threshold of the ADBA office 30 years ago on March 5th . I ’ ll tell you what , on that sunny day , I had no idea what was in store for me . Here ’ s to ?? more years .
We never know what life has in store for us . All we can do is count every single day as a blessing .
