Is this not why we are in this breed? As I type this, tears are running down my face. And, I am a macho man's man, and should never cry. But, it isn't the points, the wins, the AOLs, or the titles. It isn't the shows, the ribbons, or the Selects we get. It is the emotion, the devotion and the pure joy of our breed that sustains us, and makes us realize each day why we are allowed to and thankful that we can share our lives with such special friends. Each time we look into their eyes and see such total understanding, not just of what we do, but who we are, that renews that special bond we share. And, now and then, someone like Tami finds the words to express what we all feel. I felt that way with Ben, and so many others. Where did the time go? Evan L.
