OK, guys, I have a gripe: I was just looking at my catalog from a two-day show held this past weekend in the Southeast. The catalog tells me there were 1559 entries for this show; only 35 of these folks were willing to give up a dollar for the Canine Health Foundation. Good grief!! We GSD people especially should all be giving a buck to this cause!! Shame on us! I'd rather skip buying a $3.00 Pepsi at the show and putting a dollar towards perhaps helping to solve the mystery of nasty stuff like hemangiosarcoma, degenerative spinal myelopathy, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bla bla bla...and all the other horrific stuff that affects our wonderful breed. Next time think: if everyone who enters a GSD in any MB-F show the rest of this year donated one dollar on behalf of their shepherd, maybe it would make a big difference! Am I the only nit-wit out here who does this? Anyone else? J. Elsroth ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
