I have many thoughts about the 'items' that become privy to this list but that is another topic. I have had a friendship and dog relationship with Barbara for 26 years, more or less. She is someone I cherish and although we may not always agree we have remained friends and 'sisters'. Barbara, if you know her at all, is a steadfast and earnest friend. She loves her animals (dogs, cats, turtles, chickens) and is rightfully proud of her many accomplishments in dogs. In my opinion, all you have to do is ask and she accommodates. I do not believe that any of this kind of behavior belongs on this list. I will rarely participate but in this case I felt it necessary. Please take your issues private! That's where they belong.
