Special Visitors!

Renown dog trainer and columnist Rick Caran and his Yorkie, Jilli, visited Berkeley Springs today to say "Hello!" Rick travels the world performing with Jilli, "The World's Only Poker Playing Dog", and with Jilli's brother, Spidey Chihuahua, a multifaceted star-in-training possessing incredible doggy basketball skills. Jilli's many credits and booking details are available at JilliDog.com. Above, Rick is smothered with Yorkieness by (left to right in lap) Jilli, Gabby, Liah, (on floor) Arnold and Paras.

At right, Rick and I cuddle with "42 Years of Yorkies" (left to right) Arnold (age 13), Paras (age 19) and Jilli (age 10).
