I did not snip this because I think what you both said is so important.? In the 
past year, I have been involved with 3 clubs that are going through "political" 
issues which all boiled down to personalities that just can't get along, no 
matter the common goal.? I am really tired of mean people and just want to get 
back to what is important, our dogs!? We have a new Board and a new year to 
look forward to.? I am confident that we will have a better year than last.? 
This will be the last I ever post about the politics of our Club.? My 
resolution is to only comment on issues about our DOGS!? On that note:? 
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!? What a great day this was tho on pins and 
needles all day :-)? Thank you Evan for your excellent commentary.? I love 
reading about all the dogs and people and events.? I hope you will be there 
next year as well.? I also hope I will be there rather than reading about it :-)
Good Night All,

Laura Thomas

Peggy's message says it all! I couldn't agree more.

When you come right down to it most of us, if not all of us are thrown 
together in one way or another because of our interest and love for the 
breed, the German Shepherd Dog.

Can't we all strive to be more like the dogs we love in some way ?
If we will all strive to be loyal, protective, affectionate, not holding 
grudges, etc., among ourselves and to one another, our GSD world could be a 
better place.

The final line that Peggy wrote says it all.  "Let us be worthy to own these 
wonderful animals, after all"
Can we all commit to following that ? I would hope so.
