I have said this for years...for those who never had a chance to read Marie Gintner's "Its a Dogs Life" Series, you are missing a real treat as well. I would love to see that series re-run as we have so many new folks.

Jane was the Editor of the Northland Shepherd News before me and retired on top with a Dog Writers Association of America award for best newsletter. Occasionally at a club meeting we catch Jane doodling with the Ruthie character and we confiscate it for the newsletter. Jane is a wonderful person with an amazing memory for detail and a wonderful sense of humor and we feel very fortunate to have her as a lifetime member of our club. Jane also writes a pet column for us and has just added a new Kennel Helper column to her contributions.

Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von Stephanitz --------------------------------- Find your next car at Yahoo!
