We have lots of pet lovers at Hangley Aronchick. Notably, one of us owns seven (that's not a misprint) cats, two of us have three dogs (Bill Hangley named his dog after his mother), one of us had an iguana (the departed Freddie, who needed surgery to repair a thumb), and one of us has a hermit crab (Herman). Ellen, a secretary in the real estate department, has several show dogs of which she is rightfully proud. In fact, one of Ellen's dogs, Keefer, placed 4th in the Sporting Group competition of the Philadelphia Kennel Club dog show. Of course, this couldn't go unnoticed:

E-mail from Ellen:	Yesterday's competition at the Philadelphia Kennel Club dog show, where Keefer (a/ka/ Ch. VC's House Call) placed fourth will be televised on ESPN. Unfortunately, no one at the show knew exactly when. If you see the listing, please let me know. P.S. My dog will make ESPN before Julia Pudlin!!!! (A reference to David Pudlin's superstar daughter, a junior in high school who just ran a 3,000-meter race in 9:57.6, placing her first in the nation among high school girls.)
Response from Pudlin:	I don't know about that. It has been a very long time since Julia finished as low as fourth!
From Ellen	Well, Keefer is only 14 months old after all.
From Bill Hangley:	Great response! Make her a partner! (Ellen, not Keefer. Well, maybe Keefer.)
