I think that to some people it is easy to hide behind their computers, Tina. Behind the computers, we are all faceless, opinionated people who cannot possibly understand all situations all the time. With that said, I am sure we are all doing our best with what we have. Making this dog-related is easy. Kwis and I picked Izzy up last night on our midnight Christmas run. She had been in Indiana visiting Geran's Afleet Alex, OFA. (Thank you Gerald, Angie and Alexa for taking such good care of her!) Hopefully Izzy (Todorhaus Bmeer Dizzy Miss Lizzy, OFA) is in whelp to him. Alex is the brother to our GCH Geran's Hope Floats, owned by Gerald, Billy and me.) As this is our first litter in almost 4 years, we are jacked and ready to go! Penny in NC The Farm Dog Forever Landsend Kennels: Since 1974 When did it become okay to insult people publicly because of computers? I know if you said things I've seen said via computers to someone's face, you'd get slapped at minimum. I personally am braver to say things in writing I may not in person, but I still think it through first and reread several times before hitting send. I'm probably more careful if anything. To make this GSD related, my dogs had a wonderful Christmas this year as we were blessed with fresh snow they could play in. I think snow is my dogs' favorite thing next to me. :) Hope everyone else had a great Christmas and that 2013 is filled with love from the furkids, lots of wet kisses and success in whatever direction you are taking with your beloved dogs, even if that's just sitting at your feet. I'm hoping for lots of ribbons, meeting new friends and experiencing new things. No resolutions, just taking everything one day at a time. Thanks for reading.
