thanks for a good laugh, viv. i remember taking sirca, my foundation bitch, to a match in my MG midget. i had sirca, my purse, a grooming bag, an ex-pen and my lunch and sirca's water, bowl amd treats all packed into that little 2-seater. there was a man standing nearby when i parked. he looked at me and said, "i don't know how you did that but i'll give you $10 if you can get it all back in at the end of the day." i did and even fit sirca's rosettes and trophy into that little car. the guy kept his word and handed me $10 which, in 1983, paid for my entry fee and the gas to get there! diane Diane Strasser Silstra German Shepherds <BR><BR>**************<BR>Planning your summer road trip?
