I am sitting here wondering if you do the pooper scooper as elegantly as everything else. Terry Windwalkergsds@xxxxxx wrote: Hi you guys. Home again. It took me 30 minutes to settle Leroy down enough to even give him a cookie. He wept for joy. He's still nagging me this morning and trying to wrangle a promise from me that I will never leave for a week again. You can always count on the dogs to be happy to see us, no matter what. There were some real heart-grabbing moments....the veterans, the Juniors, the Parades, the special acknowledgement of our 50-year members, the joy on the faces of the winners, the disappointment on the faces of those who worked so hard but did not win, the laughter, the tears......it would be much too long to tell you about all of the emotion, even if it COULD be put into words. You had to be there....and that alone is enough reason for you to go next year.....forget all the petty stuff..... Thank you to all on this List who voted for me and gave me the experience of a lifetime. I'll be submitting my critiques of the individual dogs to the REVIEW so you will see those soon. Gotta put the coffee down and get out of my robe now and get back to reality. The pooper-scoopers await. :-) Jamie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
