While I am hoping many of you will consider the 4 all breed shows here in Miami, December 8 to 12, I now find out I will likely not be attending at all. I am so disappointed. But Art has a bike ride to Key West, and back, I am expected to follow at some stupid slow speed, he is on his bike, I in the van, to Key West to "vacation" with cycling people, who won't have dogs to be trained with them, and for 3 of the 4 days. I am mortally disappointed, and Art is considering alternatives, but I don't see any coming down the pike that will allow me to be supportive of the shows and our ring without telling my husband that the marriage is not as important as the shows. If I had show dogs that might be ok, but I don't. So, please look at these shows. I have posted the judges once, but it's all on the usual sites, and if you come, and don't see me, at least tell the locals you came for me............to support all breeds. I have already asked one club member for a larger ring for us, maybe even on grass....... sheila ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
