I will be pulling out a suitcase today and I know what will happen. I am taking Liddy with me for security and so be sure she gets along with her returning daughter. I dread the look on Dexter's face when he realizes he is not going. I just hope his 8 year old heart waits for me to come home. He misses me when I am gone. And, this time I have to have a pet sitter come in to walk the pups mid day, so even Dex has to be crated. He will spook from her, as she is also a trainer, and he hates other trainers. So she is coming later to meet everyone, as I have not used a pet sitter in years, though she was the last. I will have them in the crates when she gets her to make it simple for her to get to know them. I must go, my parents need me, and I do not want to take more than one dog. Dexter is just not the dog to take. I just hope he eats and behaves and waits for me. sheila Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 9/27/2006 8:33:19 A.M.

Almost as bad as when they JUMP into the grooming tub, hoping a bath means SHOW!!!!!!! or when you come home and they are all over the lucky ones who got to go, smelling all the news. I have a warped bunch, they dive into the grooming tub, argue over who get on the table next, (even if I'm just drying wet feet on a rainy day) stand in line to get nails dremeled, ears checked. CH Fannie was so glad to be out for her TC, she didn't even notice half the stations. Jumping, jumping, jumping, helooooooo everybody!!!! When my alarm clock goes off (lets face it, the really early days are show or herding days, week (work) days I wake up plenty early on my own), the dogs go NUTS!!!! SHOW! HERDING! TAKE ME! I am bruised from their enthusiasm!!!! But the ones that stay home...that kills me.
