I read a book called, "Younger Next Year". It should be read by everyone. Sharon Nucome told me about it, and anyone who has seen her lately would never worry about age. I expect to always have dogs, and I hope to have one at my funeral. (Actually I don't want a funeral, but I said that to make a point). Circumstances might dictate not having a dog, (such as living conditions), but your age is never one of them. German shepherds don't care how old you are, and neither should you. I may not be able to get in the ring at another National, but I am looking forward to handling at a local show when Summer gets too old to handle our dogs. Evan L.
