Sometimes, one has to shut up and listen. . .to herself. I mean me. I just figured that over the last 5 years, I have spent more than fifteen grand on dogs that no longer live here and I've been in love with GSDs for more than 30 years! Amazing, isn't it? Lately, I've been listening to my heart, relying once again on my mentor and paying mad-attention to specialists in health on this List, like Barb Williams. I'm planning a special litter for the fall--it's scary, cause I don't know what will come back and bite me from 10 generations back (or MORE). Hey Flowerboy--Robin Hood, Robin Hood? Behind every great man is an even greater woman. I'll take Maid Marian anytime. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
