I would like to make yet another Christmas suggestion: If EVERYONE on this list and the members of the Parent Club donated 1$ per week, we could put it into a pool to be drawn on by members of the club who might come upon hard times and are faced with having to feed their dogs or pay a utility bill...or perhaps they might have to choose to euthanize their beloved dog due to a lack of funds for an large veterinary bill...Life is precarious and we never know what we might face at the next turn. I am SURE we could all afford four quarters a week...less than a coffee at Dunkin donuts...Just think of the difference we might be able to make in a fellow GSD owners life...This idea was already implemented with the Take The Lead Foundation for people afflicted with HIV/Aids. Anyone have any ideas as to the feasability of this venture? This would provide a safety net for ALL of our dogs!
