Hi Fred, Hi Christine, My thoughts exactly. We need to think more positive about everything to do with our great breed. Sure there are a few bumps to overcome and if we think positive everything will work out in the long run. They usually do. The complaining and whining accomplishes nothing, except for a bad attitude. I for one rather not hear it. Also Fred adding to your positive thinking, the good times at the shows with old friends and the new friends we meet are also priceless. We do with we gotta do. Remember people UNITED WE STAND. Louie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
