Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I never felt such kindness as I have in the past few days. It was not = my goal to receive so many "Go Girl" responses. I felt compelled to wag = my finger and say "Shame on you". I have had GSD's just about all my = life,and always say "if you can have a german shepherd why would you = have anything else?" Although I will probably never show my dog myself = again, it's not because of the snickers. I know I'm better than that. = I never knew there were so many kind, compassionate people left in the = dog world let alone the GSD world. From the bottom of my heart I'd like = to say THANK-YOU to everyone who sent me a "Go Girl" and sympathy. It = was not the reason I posted my experience. I wanted to let the people = who laughed and pointed to feel ashamed and maybe think twice before = doing it again. I am older and wiser but am worried about someone else = going through what I did. Maybe they would get a very bad taste and = never go to another show. Thanks again. Betty Abrams ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
