Unfortunately, they don't put a lock on the doors at the National so people are free to come and go as they please. As it was, my butt was numb after the first four hours so I had to walk around and missed many of the bitches....but I did stay. I think the sod in the area took root because I saw grass grow.

I would not have left !!!!! I would have stayed to find the ones that stand out in my eyes !!!! And not a nice thing for the newly elected judge for next year to have done or said !!!! Hope no one does or says that next year !!!!! Donna Jacot,ArDeJay In a message dated 11/10/2008 11:45:15 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, edangsd@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: Ed, I agree. I loved it. I didn't take any dogs, so there was no stress in waiting for the judging and I spent four days talking to peple that I only get to see several times a year and met lots of new ones. I met Ed for the first time, so that would have kept it from being boring, regardless <G> Ann Home of Sel Ex # 6 Ch Maxwell, Sel Ex Ch Gilley and #1 Dam Muggles - owner/breeder of 69 champions and 19 ROMs --- On Sun, 11/9/08, Edwin Hill <edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Edwin Hill <edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Boring National ???

I did not build up a sense of excitement during the final moments of the judge's selection of GV...and to be completely honest there were times I could not follow what was going on, but that's my issue, not the judge's...I could not stay for bitches for reasons beyond my control ( flew back to CA last night)...so I don't know if Ms. Gleason judged the bitches just as she did the males....but the National is never Boring...there were some boring people there..like that Ed Hill guy...what a drag he is...lol... time to go to church........FB --- On Sun, 11/9/08, ArDeJay@xxxxxxx <ArDeJay@xxxxxxx> wrote: From: ArDeJay@xxxxxxx <ArDeJay@xxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Boring National ???
