Jerry Forbes, my best bottle bud, says I need to attend “Dogs Anonymous.” I have to be very organized every morning when I feed the pack. We had three “guests” below, so it is not as bad as it looks!

The latest issue of Antique Bottle & Glass Collector mails late from Modern Litho in Missouri. Their Heidelberg Press had a breakdown, and a part from Germany was delayed. This is the last issue published by Peachridge Collections. I have worked on this magazine since the merger with Bottles and Extras in 2022 and have overseen the magazine for approximately 15 years. I certainly will miss it, but I will enjoy the newfound time!
