AOL EmailOK OK......I sincerely apologize for using the word "impossible" if it is not the best. Let's change it to reasonable. It is not "REASONABLE" to just say there are some that can drive from one Coast to the next. MOST cannot. Please, let's try to be reasonable and make it POSSIBLE for EVERYONE with a dog to get to EVERY SINGLE National?? Can we at least agree on the importance of that one issue?? Isnt' that really what we need to resolve?? DOG Show.....DOGS get there.... for EVERYONE. Please....this is not about what one person or a few can do.......this has to be resolved for an entire membership all across this Country...WITH DOGS. Personally....I "prefer" it be in my back yard every year. <G> Is that "Reasonable"??

Impossible is not the best word on this one.....I know people that drove from the east to the national in Oregon. I drove there from Texas. It was not impossible...not everyone prefers to fly and more will have to drive in a few years since airlines taking dogs will become fewer and far between.
