There was a speaker at the Parent club meeting at the Concord NC.National a few years back, sorry I don't remember his name, he perhaps was an official with the SV....he said "when man's ego gets in the way the dog suffers"....truer words were never spoken...I don't know what's up with WDA or the Hunte problem in our club,the alleged rule violations in Washington, the incident in Southern CA involving my good friend and handler or all the BS with the Vick fighting dogs, AB1634, PETA etc etc......all this controversy and in-fighting and law suits, and petty jealousies, and back stabbings need to end...how did things get so out of control?.......I was told the more you control your ego the more at peace you are with your-self and the world around you...( Tony Soprano ain't the only tough guy in therapy...lol...)...see ya in Utah Saturday!.....Ed ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
