Believe me, I realize the enormity of what I am suggesting....it would be a
herculean task and require many dedicated people to donate hours of their time
to put it together. I would be honored to assemble a plan for how this might
work WITHOUT ANY fear of someone taking advantage of the fund. I have seem
similar situations in housing developments for the elderly and they were VERY
successful!
Looking at this from yet another perspective, can you just imagine the public
relations coup this would bring about for the Parent Club and breeders in
general if it made the news?? Just another way of letting the public see us for
who we REALLY are....a group of dedicated, compassionate people who are not
only deeply involved in Rescue, but also care for one another and are making
every effort to bring about meaningful change.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world"...."Imagine what you would attempt
to do if you knew you could not fail?"
Those are two of my favorite sayings....they remain firmly affixed to my
refrigerator (along with the 50 or so dog photos and one of my less attractive
photos which HOPEFULLY will keep me from another Halvah binge...lol)...
If you attempt nothing, then nothing will be accomplished. There are 1,100 of
us on these lists...1,100 like minds who care about the GSD in a way no non dog
person could ever fathom. As a very brilliant man once said, "Its not about
you"....and in believing that, I feel that it is our responsibility to leave
this world a better place than we found it. Dabbling in the political arena to
effect governmental change is beyond most of us; but this...this is a legacy we
could leave behind when we cross over.
Just give the thought some time to sink in.....and picture that person who may
be looking at their GSD tonight who has no food to put in the bowl. That
picture could be any one of us....and I dare say, before all is said and
done...it just may be.
In any case, thank you for allowing me yet another post.....

An awesome idea...and an awesome undertaking. Something that needs planning
and concentrated effort. Good thinking, Dawn.
