My heart is in rescue and producing less litters each year. These poor "not so great" babes often end up in horrible situtations. I worked that Amboy dog deal and it took me almost a year to stop dreaming about what we saw and did there. These little guys are so innocent and end up in such pain. Hard to get rid of this. Sandi HI SANDI !!!!! Good luck with that Shoulder!!! I had surgery for my left Shoulder too.. a couple of months ago, and it Didn't work out as planned and I need a complete shoulder replacement... The Dr. asked, ' How did you damage this Shoulder so severely?' I answered, 'That came from years of having some really BIG Strong Shepherds on the end of the lead, with them having 4 feet on the ground and me only having two feet and a left arm..to control them and miles of rings to run'.... he didn't understand at all, but I know you do!!!! Take care and rest it and do what they tell you !! It sure ain't any fun!!! I too, am haunted by Nightmares of things I've seen over the long years that have been done to some of these Magnificent Shepherds...more times than I care to count, sometimes, by people, I thought I could trust.. Those of us who are not on the Front Lines of this battle, like myself, also need to work to change the terrible consequences some of these Shepherds are facing... Sandi: I know and admire you , as one who has been down there in the trenches, trying... I hope we can get MORE MONEY generated for the Rrescue Teams ... and a lot more RECOGNITION at Our Nationals and in the Review for the Work they perform daily!!! It is so easy for many to just sit back and say, 'Let George Do it'... But all those 'Georges" out there need help to continue their Great Work!!! !!!! Lots of Help!!!! Money would certainly HELP!!! Sending you my Very Best Wishes for a Complete Recovery!!!! Barb Williams ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
