secretaries brings back some fond memories. Please indulge me,when i look
back at what happened i get a chuckle now. The names have been left out to
protect the innocent. The only thing you should know is some of the actors
in this play are active members of this list, have been board members in
the past and are board members today. I hope you take it with a grain of
salt and can laugh!!!!

> When i first joined the Golden State GSD club of San Jose many moons ago,
they asked the new sucker(ME!!!) to be the show secretary. Trying to me a
good new member and as i thought that being secretary was really the ring
steward, i said SURE!!!!. Then after i committed ofcourse i found out what
the job really was. Well in any case i enlisted the help of my not so
amused wife and we got the entries all done etc etc and with ofcoure the
help of some of the club members also. So i thought i was done!!!! Nope,
the next few events shaped my dog life going forward!!!
>
> The show starts and a certain big name breeder wants to move up their dog
as the show is beginning. They call me and ask me to move their dog(who
later became WD at the National and Select). So Hell! I don't know the
rules and at the same time i am getting the "evil eye" from a number of
exhibitors who followed the rules and did the move up in the required time,
so go find Bob Penny, figuring if anyone know the rules he does. He tells
me that NOOOOOOO! it is not allowed to move up a dog at the last minute as
the show as began and i did so i could get the club in serious trouble with
the AKC. So i go to inform the party that i can't let them in and the fun
begins!!! The handler calls me asinine!! The owner tell me every story
under the book about how they could not get to the show on time because
their car broke down blah blah blah!! The breeder then gets their friends,
another prominent breeder involved to put pressure on me. They wonder who
the hell is this guy!!!! Most
> probably called me every name in the book, but not to my face. The show
is now not in the ring but outside it, things are getting heated, the more
they shout the more i dig in!!! Now nobody is going to move me from my
position. Our club members get invoived, one of them is cop as he is nose
to nose with one of the prominent breeders underneath is sweater i see a
gun!!!! My wife, who has never attended another dog show, can't understand
what is happening. It is chaos, finally when they see that i can't be moved
from my position, thing subside.The show goes on!!!
>
> Now here comes the irony, the breeder is now my better clients, the
friend of the breeder who went to her defense is now someone i see at dog
shows quite regularly and am friendly with(even handled some his dogs in
the past). The handler that called my actions asinine, is the one who
doesn't get fed at dog shows, but i consider him to be an allright fellow
and i have offered to provide him a brown bag lunch anytime he wants it.
>
> The morale of the story is: Their will always be another dog show, lets
follow the rules, lets be supportive of the people who are putting in their
free time to be of help(but let's insist they do a good job) and let have
fun with eachother and you know let's not cast stones at eachother, we all
have enough "dirty laundry" to be a little bit more understanding. Because
when we are on our death bed, lets be able to look back at this life that
we had at the dogs shows and SMILE!!!!!!!!

> P.S. i called Eileen Parr on Saturday to confirm that an entry got in and
got her on the third ring.
