Hi Folks, I don't normally gripe but almost everyone had to travel a great distance to get there. We on the west coast had to cross MOUNTAINs and perhaps snow and its a 3 day drive from the WEST COAST. I know Denver is a HUB......So is Seattle and even though I live on the Southern Coast of Oregon, it would only take 7 hours. Only 1 days drive to Southern Calif. Hey we have a lot of dogs on the WEST COAST.... I am crabby cause of motor home problems at last minute! So I am being pitiful. My puppy should be in the class at this EXACT moment...................sigh.......and after that I would have been selling beautiful color calendars. I was going to wear a red hat, purple top, and sequin tights!
