A new era of peace and harmony is surely upon us,ushered in by name
calling,to be followed shortly by talk of revenge. Let the games
begin. "We have met the enemy,and he is us."

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.
