Now that most of the post-national chatter has died down (and we are settled down after yet another dog show weekend -after the national!) I wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone who helped in any way with the rescue efforts in Louisiana. Lots of people dug into their pockets to help out. We really appreciate it. Our friend and club member, Denise Gatlin, is the real work horse in this effort. She has worked tirelessly to get all the GSD's she can get (and that has not been easy!) and to rehabilitate them, house them, feed them, love them, ...... etc. Denise joins us in saying thank you to all the donors, as well as Joan (Feed the Pig!) Fox, Linda Kury, Diane Roberts, Patty (Oh God, I've got to spell that name) Szymczak, everyone who attended the listers party, and all the rescue board members. I was so busy showing, I had to read about the National when I got home from it. So, please don't take it that I was unappreciative b/c I was not around. I was just really busy (and having a lot of fun). ;-> Thanks again!
