Cleo's First Puppy Show. Top Story - January 2026.
"How would you feel about doing the Corsicana show in November?" Kathleen asked me last September. Dog exhibitors speak in shorthand that way. It's easier to say "the Corsicana show" than it is to say the "North East Texas American Eskimo Dog Association Show." And yes, "North East." I guess "Northeast" shortened the name too much for some people's taste . . . But I digress. In response, I asked two of the three important questions that every exhibitor thinks, first thing.

The Wolf Moon Marks The First Full Moon Of TheYear
The night sky has always fascinated humanity, guiding calendars, cultures, and countless stories. Among the many lunar events that capture our imagination, the Wolf Moon holds a special place. Rising as the first full moon of the year, usually in January, the Wolf Moon symbolizes beginnings, endurance, and the deep connection between nature and human life. What Is the Wolf Moon? The Wolf Moon is the traditional name given to January’s full moon. While scientifically it is simply a full moon—when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth—the name comes from centuries-old traditions. During the long, cold nights of winter, people in earlier times often heard wolves howling outside villages and settlements. These haunting sounds echoed across frozen landscapes, giving rise to the name “Wolf Moon.” It is important to note that wolves do not howl because of the Moon itself. Howling is a form of communication used to mark territory, locate pack members, or coordinate hunting. However, winter scarcity of food brought wolves closer to human habitats, making their calls more noticeable under the bright January moon. Historical and Cultural Significance The term “Wolf Moon” is commonly linked to Native American, Colonial American, and European traditions. Many Native American tribes named full moons based on seasonal changes, weather patterns, or animal behavior. January’s harsh cold, deep snow, and active predators inspired names such as the Wolf Moon, Old Moon, or Moon After Yule in different cultures. In Europe, the Moon After Yule marked the period following midwinter festivals. For agrarian societies, this moon served as a reminder of survival and patience—spring was still far away, but the cycle of nature continued. A Symbol of Survival and Renewal As the first full moon of the year, the Wolf Moon carries symbolic weight. It represents endurance during the hardest part of winter. Trees stand bare, nights are long, and food is scarce for both humans and animals. Yet, the bright, round Moon shining in the darkness offers reassurance that light persists even in the coldest times. For many people today, the Wolf Moon has become a symbol of new beginnings. Just as January marks the start of a new calendar year, the Wolf Moon encourages reflection, goal-setting, and resilience. It reminds us that strength often develops during difficult periods. Astronomical Features From an astronomical perspective, the Wolf Moon can appear especially striking. Because January nights are longer and often clearer in colder climates, the Moon may look brighter and sharper in the sky. When it rises or sets near the horizon, it can appear larger due to the “Moon illusion,” a visual effect that makes celestial objects seem bigger when they are close to the horizon. Sometimes, the Wolf Moon may coincide with other celestial events, such as lunar occultations or conjunctions with bright planets, making it even more exciting for skywatchers. Modern Celebrations and Spiritual Meaning In modern times, many people observe the Wolf Moon through photography, moonlit walks, or quiet reflection. In spiritual practices, it is often associated with inner strength, intuition, and clearing old emotional burdens. Some view it as a time to release negativity from the past year and prepare mentally and emotionally for the months ahead. Social media and astronomy communities frequently celebrate the Wolf Moon, sharing images and reminding people to look up and reconnect with the natural world. Why the Wolf Moon Still Matters Even in an age of artificial lights and digital calendars, the Wolf Moon continues to captivate us. It connects modern life to ancient rhythms, reminding us that the cycles of the Moon remain unchanged despite technological progress. The Wolf Moon is more than just a name—it is a story of survival, continuity, and hope. As the first full moon of the year rises, glowing against the winter sky, it invites us to pause, reflect, and remember that every year, like every lunar cycle, begins in darkness before moving steadily toward light.
