Amen....I am truly grateful for the support that Purina and Royal Canin are giving us. I sense that Purina is really excited to be involved with us.

Well, I must admit that I thought Ernie got way too windy at the Annual Meeting, was not the 10 minutes we had discussed. But Ernie is a great person and is always excited when he comes to our National. However, Purina will donate almost $60,000 to the GSDCA this year and those funds are to be used for Health and Education purposes for the German Shepherd Dog. So, yes I will encourage Purina to keep talking to us about their product which in turn through their donations just might prevent your dog from getting Hemangiosarcoma and if listening to an infomercial is what it takes to find that cure, I will not only listen, I will say thank you.
