Ok, so the National is over. I am home, much to the delight of TJ, who is
complaining that my daughter doesn't spoil him the way I do. I must confess,
my TJ is pretty freaking spoiled. My daughter tells me I didn't spoil my 2
legged children this bad....LOL
My worst nightmare has come reality, the yearly "lets turn on them" time has
begun.
Our club has earned a new award: The most amount of bitching, ungrateful
members.
You can make some people happy all the time, all the people happy some of
the time, but you can't make everyone happy all the time. That is the truth,
ask Abraham Lincoln.
I am making a pledge here and now: Every time I read a negative post on the
list, I am going to challenge the person posting to come up with a solution.
This will be done not on the spirit to be confrontational, tho that never
stopped me before. This will be done to make people THINK before they post.
Place yourself in the shoes of those you are criticizing. Apply the Golden
Rule, would you want people to treat you the way you treat them? I am going
to go out on a limb here, I am sure no one wants to be treated this crappy.
I too believe the National is too long. I am not willing to short change
any of the performance events, or pretend the National is only about
conformation. I've seen a few good suggestions.
Truth is, this is a logistical nightmare. The amount of events that we have
is huge. I suggest we study the breed clubs who hold other events besides
conformation, and see how they go about it. Breeds that have earth, sporting,
herding, rally, agility, obedience, tracking. Isn't it amazing? We MUST
cater to all these events, they are our members, our dogs too.
So, I am going to go online and see what others do, and bring some
suggestions to the PC.
We shouldn't be so arrogant to think we can't learn from others.
