Great post Barb ----- some of these people really do need to give their head
a shake!!
Or do some suffering and then see how they like being torn apart. Life is
far too
short for all the pettiness that has gone on lately on the List.

> My point in writing this e-mail is that I have seen more regard and

> the open discussion of another top dog person and her illness, and now
> this man Steve. Is there not anyone that is free from some's wrath?
> You might not have liked this man (although most of us never even met

> sensitive time. Lorraine and Marc are extremely stressed by this
> terrible news and then to see their friend torn apart on this List is
> just too much. Please remember how in times of stress and trials and
> tribulations that you too turn for comfort and understanding. I
> remember someone writing about the pain they were experiencing last year
> and so many of us reached out to you too. Please show the same
> respect. It seems that our dogs know how to mourn the loss of their
> loved ones better than we do......with quiet dignity. So if you don't
> have anything nice to say, keep it bottled up and if you feel like you
> just might burst with it..............go take a Xanax! Barbara
