Hi Listers! I am forwarding Dan Mosher's introductory message to make sure it reaches the List. Dan recently joined the List and is learning the system. Please join me in making Dan welcome. Read below: Zoa Rockenstein Dan Mosher wrote: Dear Friends~ It has been many years since I attended a National Specialty for German Shepherd Dogs because I ?lost it? for quite a while. I lost interest, I lost enthusiasm, and I lost myself in the process of attempting to be someone I am not. My new friend, Christine Grainger, encouraged me to attend this year?s National for several reasons. As a result, something clicked, and I decided to go if I could get a good flight and a good room. I got both so I committed to go! When I first arrived at the show site on Thursday at about 4:30pm, Cappy Pottle immediately recognized me and came over to greet me. To my surprise and amazement, she hugged me and kissed me as if I was the prodigal son, and I felt totally welcomed and very much loved. This is how the entire National experience continued as I connected with old friends and new people who I had never met before. The feeling of acceptance was overwhelming and extremely enjoyable. I am convinced that this is the experience we are all seeking and have been seeking throughout our life. No one needs to have a Grand Victor or Grand Victrix to be loved, acknowledged and appreciated. It is our Divine Right as Human Beings and fellow Voyagers on Planet Earth. So my opening and initial List email is to say Thank you for being so loving and caring??it feels wonderfulJ. I?ll be back!!!

Dear Dan, Welcome home! As one of the new friends you made at the National, I am proud to have you with us again. Your wonderful, positive energy and your extensive knowledge about gsds certainly position you to make a lot more friends as well as reconnecting with old and dear ones. The highlight of my National was having the BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE. That was the seat next to you (and the filming people) during BOB dogs. Not only do you know structure and movement, but you convey your knowledge in a thoughtful, eloquent manner that was educational, entertaining, and never condescending to someone like me who is still trying to learn everything. Thanks again, so very much, for being who you are and coming back. I look forward to your posts on the List and to seeing you at the shows!
