I'm not particularly worried.  I am, however, very, very grateful  PETA 
hasn't shown up to herding lessons to see all the holes and tears put in  the 
sheepies.  Come to think of it, I can think of a few terrier and  hunting dog 
events it's a good thing they don't attend as well.  
 
Peggy, you wrote:
 
 "On top of that, the people with the cat (and yes, I looked at the  
pictures and I do know who they are) shouldn't be allowed to own a  cat.  
Nothing about this is funny.  It's disgraceful,  embarrassing, and very 
worthy of punishment from the AKC...which I assume  and hope will be 
forthcoming."
 
and later you write:
 
I.... " happen to like all 
the people involved in this fiasco",

Good thing!  Actually, I'm having trouble reconciling those two  statements, 
but maybe after I finish my coffee it'll all make sense.  On  the other hand, 
maybe it's not worth the mental masturbation needed to figure  why we always 
have to turn on our own.  I doubt I'll reach a satisfactory  conclusion and no 
doubt it will be a futile exercise.
 
I think I'm going to take a lesson from the Brits, who, after a recent case  
of mistaken identity, labeled it an "unfortunate incident".  That's  it!  This 
is an "unfortunate incident".  I LIKE that phrase and I'm  going to use it 
often! For the next week, every time one of my clients is less  than happy, 
I'll 
just nod and agree that whatever is bothering them is  "unfortunate".  "Yes, 
it's unfortunate".  "I agree, it's  unfortunate."  "That certainly is 
unfortunate".  It works, and more  importantly, who can argue? What a great 
word!!! 
God bless the Brits!
 
Fight nicely everyone <G>.  I'm off on errands.  It's a  beautiful morning:)
