Evan, I have been reading posts on this list for a couple of months and sending a few. I have had something verified that I knew all along. Even with the appearance of what could be considered a dysfunctional family, when it comes to hard times, a family always pulls together. I did send your client an e-mail expressing my sorrow over what the Sacramento SPCA did to her. I am sure it was an understatement. I have no idea what I would do if someone took my life's work and tossed it in a trash can. Don't eat too many ribs.

She just wrote to me to tell me she was in tears all day over the kind and sincere posts she was receiving from the shepherd people. She told me that she didn't get any support, other than from a few people in her own breed. She didn't realize how kind dog people could be, and was surprised. We are our own group. The German shepherd is the best breed of all, and no other breed does so much so well. But, shepherd people are unique. I agree that we are in general as good as the best, and better than the rest. Thank you for being so kind to someone who has hit bottom. We come together for each other all the time, and now we have shown what we can do for a stranger. I am proud of us.
