In case any of you critics notice, it is very expensive to advertise in the review, if you do color. This last review had a lot of advertisers. People who spent a lot of money-why? Because they are proud and want to show off their beautiful dogs. After all of this criticism - my reaction is "why bother" People seem to want more to nit-pick than to enjoy.
