Well as My Daddy used to say " If you don't Vote you cannot Bitch about the
government " the same holds true with the GSDCA - If you don't Renew you can
not
gripe; and everyone knows I love to gripe, complain and bich. (Hope they don't
charge memberships fees for eaqch!!)

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Renewing GSDCA membership
?I have heard that many people are not renewing their memberships. snip -
We have already decided not to renew other subscriptions, dog and people
related. We just wondered what others maybe doing or feel strongly about.
You may email us privately if you wish.
===========================================================================About
three years ago now, our housing market started to decline in Nevada.
It is now the number one state for foreclosures and unemployment. Two years
ago 75% of contractors did not pick up their licenses. This year more than
half of those who did, went out of business. We have a glut of empty houses
that promise to expand out ghost towns into a ghost state. Our only hope is
that California has elected a ghost governor who promises to empty the state
of its last remaining profitable business, so Nevada may make it if those
prosperous people all move here and bring what money they have left. <grin>
(Sarcasm intended).
So, I can sympathize with Terra and the question - Where do we spend our
money, what little is left?
Everyone has to answer that question for themselves. Some people in our area
have given up their pets, some have turned their domesticated horses out in
the mountains with the wild horses, thinking they will be alright. Of
course, they will not! In our PETS and HSUS driven world, animals are no
longer a necessity as they were to our previous generations, they are a
luxury, but to us, they are more. They are a necessity. So our animals stay.
We've made some serious changes in our lives over the past two years and
sold off a lot of expendable things, like toys, cars, tools and our kids,
well, not really! But our view is that this too shall pass. The economy will
not remain as it is forever and when it does come back for us, we want to
renew our exhibiting at dog shows and are hoping that our club and our sport
and AKC can survive with us. So, we will be keeping our membership and
paying our dues and we hope the majority of people will join us in this love
of the breed and the sacrifice it represents to keep it as strong as it can
be.
Renew! Please. I understand if you can't but please make it a high priority.
At to any political issues... Bah, humbug! Everything involving people has
political issues. No big deal!
Dave
