Tue Story: Several years ago Nicky and I took Cassie to New York to show in the Garden, had always wanted to do it and we did have fun. We stayed close to the show site, Scott and Loren stayed up close to Central Park and we were walking up to meet them. Cassie was taking in all the New York sights, smells, and noise and since she is really fun to live with and sound we were all having a nice stroll on a nice day. Passed a homeless fellow selling pencils and as Cassie and I walked by him he made this comment, "You know a couple of aspirin a day will cure that hip dysplasia." I thought I would crack up, even the homeless know of problems in our Breed. We really must look in the mirror and laugh at ourselves now and then.
