Laura, you know I love you and you are absolutely one of my best friends, but isn't this life, that we can come away with different thoughts and different feelings? I met Laura at the trial yesterday and was, as she was, thrilled with the camadarie and the 'family' outing feeling. I also didn't like some of what I was watching. No need for details, it's like telephone game. We all end up with what we see and hear. I love the U.S. GSD conformation shows. I HATE some of the politics that I see and have thrown at me, but adore the people who don't participate in the c**p. Just finding out who is whooooo is a ball <LOL>. And, yes, the ice cream was right THERE! Of course, MY challenge would be to try to "hit the sleeeve" with one of my U.S. lines, but I love a challenge LOL.. Yo? Are you up to this? Nah! Well, FIRE??? Yep, she would! P.S. a Serious comment is that I was truly amazed at the amount of exhibitors. There were about 100 cars parked on the street next to the football field (which they used the full field for their classes!)
