I want to thank all of you for your get well wishes for Dave. So many private post from people who have had similar injuries and even some sharing their phone numbers in case Dave needs to talk to someone about their experiences. I promise to reply to each and every email we got. You know I think the people in Shepherds are AWESOME! Yes we all do our a share of bitching and complaining about dogs/shows/politics and some people but let me tell you.......when someone needs help or needs healing thoughts sent their way the Shepherd family pulls together and always there for you when truly needed - even if just a kind word. Dave and I thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! For now I have to concentrate on Dave and helping him and even though I am really bummed about missing what would had been my first US National and showing my boy - I will sit home, look after hubby and read Evan's Blog and cheering dogs on from afar. For me, theres always next year :-) Daleen Amaleen German Shepherds ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
