I'm afraid it's going to get worse before it gets better. PetPac e-mailed me a petition against California Gov., Arnold Schwarzenegger, who announced he is going to charge sales tax to pet owners for their veterinary services. Has anyone else been sent this e-mail? --- On Mon, 11/24/08, David Fritsche <d_fritsche@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: David Fritsche <d_fritsche@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] BAILOUT NEEDED To: "'showgsdlistnew'" <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, November 24, 2008, 6:31 PM I was just watching the news this morning as I was getting ready for - then it occurred to me. I had no work to go to. Besides, we have lost 7 dogs this past year that we own or co-owned, still have two older dogs that will go before too many years and kept 2 puppies. We had 7 and are now down to 4. That is quite a loss. I cannot survive another year like this. So, I am looking for a good politically connected lawyer who can present our case to the government and get us a bailout. If we do not get a government bailout we will affect the entire dog world and the entire sport will go down with us. This is a do or die matter for the entire dog world economy. (Violins playing in the background). Do you feel the pain yet? *#*@*%)( - * (E-tears on the computer screen) Possibly you would like to join me in this presentation if you are similarly affected and if your dog business is not profitable and if your breeding stock has taken a dive. I was thinking that for 4 to 8 Billion I could get this going again and save some jobs and keep the ripple effect from destroying the dog world, and the pet food world and ultimately the world economy. Any qualified attorneys please apply in private. Anyone else in dire financial straits who want to join in this world saving effort, please be available to sign on the application and then wait until I send you your check later.... (possibly much later)!
