A Dog>Lover's Notebook

When 1t. and Mrs. Robert Gros-
jean-he was an attache of the Bel
gian Embassy and she the former
Emlen Davies-sailed for Europe
last week, they left with heavy
hearts not only because of the war
situation but because they were
leaving behind them their beloved
cocker spaniel, Rose Marie, and her
three brand-new babies, born a day
after the Grosjeans' first wedding
anniversary. At present the aban-
doned infants are in the care of a
nurse in Arlington. AS they grow
older, Mrs. Grosjean's sister, Mrs
Millard Tydings, will take Rose Ma
rie, and other members of the
family will adopt the puppies.
Cookers of the Powkim Kennels OF
Upper Marlboro are moving in dis
tinguished circles. Rose Marie came
from there, and Mrs. Mary K
Powell has just sold to Mrs. Sum-
ner Welles a 6-month-old black
male out of the blue-ribbon win
ner, Little California Rose, by Pow
kim's Gallant Knight. The kennels
also have shipped a black cocker to
Anchorage, Alaska, the farthest
north q Powkim puppy has ever
gone.
Friends of the jolly. hard-work-
ing Mrs. Powell will be glad to know
that, after serious brain operation
her. brother is making a good re-
covery and that though she still
suffers from the after effects of her
own recent illness she is able tc
keep her busy kennels going in spite
OF the absence of Mr.. Powell on duty
as member of the Engineering
Division of the War Department.

least intimidated by the dog which

He is Danno, the Great Dane. who
often accompanies Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau to his Office
and walks home with him. Danno
as career dog, evidently cannot be
bothered by cats of low degree, fol
he studiously ignores the prowling
feline. Like his master, Danno is
working early and late at the Treas
ury these days-almost any sunny
afternoon he may be seen doing So

Missing at the Morris and Essex
TERROR ring were the S. A. Woolners
Of Rockville. Building operations
designed to enlarge the already ca
pacious Adlea Kennels-considered
one Of the model setups in the
Washington area-have kept them
busy at home for the past several
weeks.
A near neighbor and q frequent
exhibitor here carried of q signal
honor at the Madison show. Harry
Isaacs of Stevenson, Md, not only
won best of breed with his Kerry
blue terrier, Tanjax Flying Scots
man, but went on to take the terrier
group. According to the Judge, the
Kerry was the best-balanced dog he
had seen In some time, and one
which needed no setting up to
achieve perfect form.
It is the first time . dog of this
unusual breed has won the group at
Morris and Essex, and, although
exact records are lacking, certainly
Kerry blues very rarely go over the
wirehairs, Airedales, Scotties and
other popular terriers at any dog
show.
Pittsburgh fanciers are still talk
ing about the clean sweep made by
Johnny" Kimes and his cocker
spaniels at the Western Pennsylva-
MIA show there. Wirehaven Kennels

reports as "the biggest day Of their
times" Briefly, Wirehaven's Guards
