This is more than politics Peggy, it is absolutely a coup in the march of AR people into positions of power that will affect our sport. It has already affected my dogs. This morning Sureman appeared at the front door with a stick over his shoulder and a pack tied to the end. Said he was running away from home to find the place where they served steak every night. I told him to get his butt back on the couch where he belonged or I start treating him like the neighbor dogs. He made one phone call.... I think it was to Evan! Darn dog! Dave Too funny. My dogs are already giving me the "paw" Go to the Vet? NO WAY! The vet pricks you with needles, violates you to get a temp. And, they are vampires and want blood. And, Mom thinks that is OK? I think not. They haven't set up an uprising, as yet, but then again, they don't have a lawyer. Better keep my phone away from them. I don't trust them not to contact the ACLU to complain that they are "show" dogs and don't get to be "regular" dogs. Total discrimination! LOL!
