Oh Penny this story makes me cry. I remember that day well. That judge was not a very good judge. She also dumped Bubba J the only time in his life. The dog she put up over Bubba J is still not finish. She is one damn bad judge. She knows how I feel. Like I said then," she could not see The Forest from the trees:. Records live opinions die. Forest will live in our harts forever. I will call you next week Linda -----Original Message----- From: Penny & Bill <Ketchy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: The List <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sat, Dec 29, 2012 1:11 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Forest's last tale Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Once upon a time, Linda and I went to a Specialty show somewhere in the East. It was pouring rain and cold. During bitches, I saw the most beautiful dog who ever breathed being exhibited in Open. She was bi-colored and there was a golden glow about her that oozed attitude and presence. And her movement? I went NUTZ. Who is she, I wondered and someone standing near said her name was Forest and Emily owned her. She won her class and I thought the points were a lock. But it being a dog show, she did not win. Not even Reserve)). I went home and couldnât stop thinking of her. Forest, Forest, Forest: I dreamed deep happy dreams of her and awoke with a purpose. I informed Willy that I was buying her no matter what the price, even if it meant taking out a loan. It didnât. And so began the fairy-tale that was called Forest and Penny. She gave me so much love and happiness, I could write all day about it and still say more. Once, she saved my life, but I have already told you about that. Now, Forestâs tale is told. Thank you. One last time, good-bye. Penny in NC The Farm Dog Forever ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2012.
