Paula,
I met you long before the drama started.....I only wanted to buy a shirt
from you. I had not even brought my dogs into the show....you really don't
know what happened. I am glad that you support the masses without having
the facts, but I am an exhibitor too. Just because I am new and you don't
know me I don't feel it is correct to take sides.
