Shows for me are a stress reliever (well okay maybe a little) its a place that I can be with friends, talk dogs, laugh a lot and close or get kicked out of restaurants (pvt joke). I can't wait for warmer weather shows and chillin with the dog family and participate and watch shows. You have to go into this sport knowing what to expect and make the best of it. For the most part I've had very good experiences with the many diverse people 've met in the German Shepherd world--Actually pretty typical. And I've nteracted with a lot of different people in many different venues, activities nd parts of the world.Then again I try to be positive and find the good in hose I meet.

Sometimes we’re prisoners of our wn mindset no matter where we go or what we try! Here’s a story I read today hat illustrates this point.... here is the story of a traveler who approached the gates of an ancient city. he gatekeeper sat quietly, and listened as the traveler announced that he had eft his old city and was looking for a new city in which to live. “What’s this city like?” asked the traveler. “What was your old city like?” returned the gatekeeper. “It was terrible. People were mean and unfriendly. There were no jobs. The overnment was an abomination, and the taxes onerous.” “Well, that’s pretty much what you’ll find here,” admitted the gatekeeper. So he traveler moved on in search of a better city. A few hours later another traveler approached with a heavy load on his horse. He lso announced he was seeking a new home. “What was it like in the town you came from?” inquired the gatekeeper. “It was wonderful. Filled with lovely people who were always there to help you. ven the politicians tried their best for the citizens. I wish I didn’t have to eave on account of my job.” “Well, that’s pretty much what you’ll find here,” reported the gatekeeper. So he man entered the city. ******* or the most part I've had very good experiences with the many diverse people 've met in the German Shepherd world--Actually pretty typical. And I've nteracted with a lot of different people in many different venues, activities nd parts of the world.Then again I try to be positive and find the good in hose I meet.
