Elizabeth.....I would bet that every great handler out there has had the same feelings and experiences. Remember: Attitude is everything. It's tough to smile when you feel beaten, it's not easy to be gracious when you feel you've been cheated, but take these lessons and let them mold you into a better person by overcoming adversity and smiling in the face of defeat. Never let 'em see you sweat, kiddo....keep your dignity and good sportsmanship about you and just do your job to the best of your ability. The next show will be much better. Now go out and play and imagine yourself winning the next dog show. :-) Jamie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
