       RECOGNIZING SARAH CONN AND JEWELL OF WINCHESTER, KENTUCKY

 Mr. BUNNING. Madam President, I have the distinct honor today 
of recognizing the recent accomplishments of Sarah Conn and Jewell, 
both residents of Winchester, KY.
  At this year's 126th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show held in New 
York City, 12-year-old Sarah Conn and her graceful Boston Terrier, 
Jewell, put on quite a performance, taking Best in Breed and winning 
the prestigious Open Junior Handler title. In winning Best in Breed, 
Sarah amazingly bested a woman who has been showing Boston Terriers for 
an astonishing 50 years and a man who is rated the top handler in the 
Boston Terrier category. Sarah and Jewell rose to the occasion, 
overcoming all obstacles to prove that they do indeed belong at the 
top.
  Sarah and Jewell have obviously worked extremely hard to earn this 
honorable distinction and deserve our praise for their diligent 
efforts. I know that the people of Winchester as well as the people of 
the Commonwealth of Kentucky are proud of their achievements. I finally 
ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Sarah and Jewell for proudly 
representing the Commonwealth of Kentucky in this year's Westminster 
Dog Show.
