OK Carolyn -- Let's discuss stinking cold rain and muddy dogs and, if that is not enough - helicopters flying from dawn until dark hauling Christmas trees. (OK we have had several days of wonderful weather once the fog lifted, but the clouds are back and the rain will be shortly) Now I will tell you the only one here who loves Christmas Tree season is Ms Tia (Ch Schatten's Show Time v Fairway PT) who believes her job is patrolling the fence line in case that blasted thing flies over us (illegal but they seem to forget routinely). She is also first in line for Homeland Security, making sure that nobody walks the fence line or parks next to the fence line or, anything else too close to the fence line. If Terry were to take her to Arizona we could forget about building fancy walls - just a simple field fence and Ms Tia on patrol will take care of it. She looks better now in retirement than she ever did in the show ring - all that border work!

NO BUNGIE CORDS allowed anymore with most of them. <G> I really doubt Gail meant you are expected to bring your own chair as they will be brought in by the Parent Club! I think Evan needs to call a "time out" and get us moving into another area of complaint besides rumors about two new really great National sites. We need to save our complaining at least until AFTER we experience those Nationals! We're out of sync if we complain ahead of time. EVAN!!! Come out, come out......wherever you are.........put us on another track..... We've ground the surface of the Ohio arena to a fine dust that will kill all......and we are now shipping dogs bungied to folding chairs since the airlines won't take # 500 crates.... <G> Not a pretty picture.... Can you just quit lurking with your job in Court, and get us onto the White GSD .........or we will have to go right into Bill Basu's bad knees and bad back... and "that just aint purty" <G> and you KNOW we will then move onto your bad knees and your infamous cart ride out of the arena at Del Mar...... and you don't want that..........save us from ourselves Evan......
