Ladies & Gentlemen: Please read Helen's post one more time because, it reflects a true picture of what we, the GSD folks really are! I noticed there wasn't much of a Pity Party group on Da List because it was almost (well, sort of anyway) like being there. Yikes, not only in living color, but "moving" living color right in our homes. I'll not be able to attend UTAH, but I'm working very hard to set a goal for Ft. Collins, you know, that place where they have the Balloon University, poor little boy. I'm bad, guess I need another cup of coffee so I'll behave! Helen, you are full of W. (words) O. (of) W.

Many compliments to Bill and Lew for getting the streaming video for us, When Bill told me last summer,he was going to try and get it for us,and then did the" try out" at the Kansas City Specialty last fall,convinced the Board,and then with Lew getting us the financing,we were blessed with enjoying this great performance, And Lanalee's description of the facility sounded nearly perfect. Great footing,for the show, with no dust . Evan's blog is always entertaining, Too bad he can't do the job that Lanalee had,in speaking ,rather than just writing what he sees out there ,in the ring,and around him. He always has so many people stop by to talk with him. The quality of dogs at this show reflected the choice of judges that had been selected,and I enjoyed all the judges' choices. Dave's judging procedure was precise,and typical of his teaching background. We all could see how and why he was doing,what he did..I was exhausted watching him keep us in suspense. And with Barbara, Dan and Gary,we've got great quality judges for Utah. Looking forward to 2010 Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
