I really regret that I can't make it to the National. It really sounds like it's going to be a great one. I pray that people can come together in their love and enjoyment of our wonderful breed and put their negative feelings aside. Then leave them behind when you go home <g>. Hostility, vindictiveness and anger always do more harm to the bearer than the target! Janice In a message dated 10/5/2007 11:32:34 A.M.

I don't want to see the looks of anger that will be passing around, when you all think no one sees. We should be family, but now I gotta wonder. I keep questioning my membership in GSDCA, well, I want to give a new board a chance to make things right, as in by the bylaws, but I am not sure I have the patience at this point. People who do not post to the list are getting hurt, and that is over the line. Good people are getting hurt for being good people. That is over the line. I love the list. I get help, I give help, I advertise for my shows. I have gotten the best entries for my club(s) from all of you on the List. I NEED this list. But I also need to know that all are welcome here. I am not sure about that. I have made mistakes, even here on the list. I apologize for every misprint I have ever done. But I have never diliberately sought to hurt a soul. I hope that as we go foward that all of you will be able to say the same. We cannot use this List to cause pain. It is here to help!!!!! sheila Janice Buchanan Wasatch-Gold German Shepherds _http://wasatchgold.brinkster.net/_ (http://wasatchgold.brinkster.net/) "If our dogs were smarter, they could tell us what they were thinking.
