I was very sad to hear that Lori was not doing well and now has left us. I met Lori in the early 90's and can still remember her showing some of her dogs. Then she and Abbey became a team. And what a team they were. Showing some of the nicest dogs on the EastCoast. For some reason If I had to get beat I never minded if it was by one of Lori's dogs. Maybe because she would be one of the first people to come over and congratulate you even if you won over something she was showing. Lori was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I cant believe I wont see her at the shows this spring. I know I will think of her often. My condolences to her family and especially to Abbey.
