Hey everyone. I have been on the list for around a month now, I have even posted a couple of times (the update about Bear/Baron being reunited with his owner) but I don't think I ever actually introduced myself. I am not yet owned by a GSD, I hope to be someday. I have been reading the list mail (and two other GSD lists I am on) and soaking knowledge up like a sponge. I have really been enjoying this list a lot. I live in Michigan, just a little northeast of Detroit. I am going to go to the Labor Day show up by Flint and am hoping to meet some list members there. I want to learn all I can about GSD's and showing before I get one myself. I would love to meet some of you in person and see your dogs and be able to learn from you as I am doing on the list. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and thank you all for a wonderful list. And thanks to whoever sponsored me to come on the list, not knowing me at all. -- Michelle LaFay Pawsitively Caring Pet Sitting Auburn Hills, MI pawsitivelycaring@xxxxxxxxx http://www.angelfire.com/ky3/mblafay/ps.html ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
