First off , I have to say a huge , “ Thank you , Jamie !” for being such an incredible employee at the ADBA as well as assisting me with data entry for the Show Department and making sure that everyone ’ s points are accurate . She is one of our team and an asset to our company !
How is it already the end of October ?! I swear , it was just August . I blinked and September was over . Now it ’ s getting cold and the show season is almost over . Make sure to get out to those last few events and show support to your local clubs . Good luck to everyone , and safe travels !
As winter approaches and we reflect on this past year , and focus on the upcoming one , let ’ s take the time to truly appreciate the incredible people that we have in our lives . On page 14 , I wrote an article touching on this subject - strangers becoming friends , and also having an instant connection with someone due to the fact that they own an APBT .
I am been blessed and have met so many amazing people , worldwide , because of this breed ; I know I ’ m not the only one . No matter what part of the globe you are in , it ’ s something we each have in common .
I hope you enjoy the Gazette and the articles we have included in this issue . If you ’ re interested in submitting an article for possible publication please email heather @ adbadog . com
If you would like submit an advertisement for the magazine please contact Tyler @ adbadog . com and he will be more than happy to assist you .
