Hi all, for those that dont know me, my name is Russell Kelham, husband of the N.I president Julie. I am the vice chairperson of the society and also show manager. Here I am having a break from my other job as Show manager at our Essex show, I'm the one sitting down, pictured with my sometimes assistant Dai. I would like to give you a small insight into my life as 'A Northern Inuit widower.' As I stated previously, I am the long suffering husband of the society founder Julie , I'M the one you see behind the wheel chauffuering her around the country, when I'd much rather be fishing or playing golf. Dont get me wrong, I love our 12 dogs and would'nt be without them, but,when you've been on the market since 5 am, and stood all day in the shop, loaded the van to go home and its 6 pm on a cold, wet saturday in november, and you've still got another 20 minutes before you've got a nice hot coffee in your hand!, then, from the other side of the living room, a little voice reminds me that 'SHE' has made a promise to call on so and so this evening on society/Inuit related business, And its a 150 mile round trip. Or 'the roof is leaking on one of the kennels, could you just pop out and se if you can fix it'. Then there's my all time favourite, its 2.30 in the morning, it's thundering and through the warm wonderful drowsiness i get 'darling, you couldnt just pop down and put the kennel lights on as the dogs might be frightened'. Dont worry, i did'nt!. I do love you and the dogs, but please, can I go back to sleep now?
PS, what do you call a woman who's got a dog on a lead in each hand and a telephone glued to her ear?
'JULIE'
