Thanks Ed. Our church starts early too. In fact, churchgoing Catholics can satisfy the Sunday Mass requirement on Saturday night. Our family has revolved around animals for so long I tend to take it for granted. We celebrate most things on Sundays (b-days, anniversaries, etc.) because my brother works on Saturdays. We DO arrange our dinner schedule around my sister's horse feeding schedule though <VBG>. You can get away with a little variance w/ dogs...horses...not so much. All I meant w/ the "ham comment" is that Easter dinner isn't the labor intensive ordeal that some other Holidays can be. The time we spend together is more important than "a production". I missed Mother's Day last year...actually it was my mother's suggestion...I had a gal ready to whelp. To complicate matter's my sister's (older) horse wasn't doing so well. My mother really didn't want her to drive to their house either. Soooooooooo......mom & dad wrapped up the pork loin, put the veggies in containers and the rest of the family went to my sister's house so she didn't have to leave the horse. Three weeks later, mom came here and loved on puppies and we had "mother's day week". Whatever works. All I know is that we still have 4 and 5 point majors at DV when our show date falls on Easter.

Kathy, to some people, Easter means much more than a huge meal with leftovers for a week.......Dog people or not.

Every so often our specialty (which for a number of years was on Saturday/Sunday b-cause we did the AB Rally and OB on the Saturday) falls on Passover/Easter and it hasn't hurt entries...
