I don't think she even knows that I was paying attention. A few years back she decided to get out of dogs, and so she stopped showing. She told me that one day she looked around and realized, all her friends were at the dog shows. So, she came back and is having tremendous success. I think at times we need to stop, take a break, look at what we have done and are doing, and then consider what is really important. It is so easy to lose perspective in showing dogs. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
