My list of what I'm Thankful for I'm thankful for my mother. She's been strong for my brother and I for so long. She's done the unbelievable basically all by herself. At this moment I just got braces and that was defiantly costly. My mommy loves us sooooo much and I love her just the same 98% of the time lol. I'm thankful for Kelly Busse because if it wasn't for kelly I wouldn't have ginger or be in dog shows to begin with. I don't even want to think of my life without gsd and dog shows at all. Thankful for Laura Thomas for giving me the oppertunity to go to california this past summer and get some real experience in living with a bunch of german shepherds. I also wanted to say thank you to anyone else who contributed to my trip! Thankful for my brother. He may get me mad like crazy, but truely he helps me alot and he really cares. Even if he pulls some cheap shots at me (if you know what I mean). Thanks to my family for always being there for me whenever I needed them, Especially my cousin Andrea who's always there. Shes the one person who really knows everything about me. I'm thankful to the list for all the help and incouragement I've recieved off of it. You guys are like a second family! Thanks to anyone whos ever given me a shot at handling their dogs. Thanks for taking a risk! The list goes on and on, so I'll just leave it here and just say Happy ThanksGiving!!!!
