Well, Carolyn, you should be ready to support the health of the GSD by attending the American German Shepherd Dog Charitable Foundation party on Friday evening after the show!!!

MY personal favorite time!! <G> I love watching all the dogs that will compete the next day while the owners and handlers work out the kinks ......and they are not groomed or showing to perfection as there are dogs going in all different directions and speeds at the same time. Often seeing them au naturelle like this is the best time for me and I am a frustration to those that are ready to go eat....and I'm down in the arena looking at great dogs!! } :o) Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com Friday night when the ring is opened, everyone comes in with the great champions, owners, handlers and everyone standing laughing talking and enjoying the anticipation of the day to come. The dogs aren't groomed, aren't posed and just seem to thrill in the time with the owners and they with the dogs. I love to stand and watch and try to anticipate the next day. Those are a few of my favorite things. Evan L. Ginsburg ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
