I know this is a doggy list, but it amazes me the worry over flying a dog
when N. Korea and Iran, our government's incomprehensible spending,
unemployment rising for the foreseeable future, states going broke, slow to nil
economic recovery etc. are all on the radar screen.
I gotta' tell you, difficulties encountered when flying dogs and National
attendance are not even on my list of things to worry about....
It's my understanding that the club lost a bunch in TX. (I know
someone...or a dozen "someones", lol, will correct me if I'm wrong).
Maybe as far as the club is concerned, the fiscally prudent thing would be
to dial it back to several regional nationals for a while.
We've all heard the stories ~ people refinancing their homes to go to the
National / special a dog. Someone returning from the National to find their
home foreclosed on. (Begs the question...what the hell were they doing
even going to the National???) Handlers' bills stretching over years.
Others laid off and can't afford to feed their dogs. There's a whole bunch of
doggy enthusiast living from paycheck to paycheck and I hope they don't find
themselves in a spot where they look back and regret not having a 6-12
month cushion. I think it's "hoping" in vain on my part though.
