Ed, thank you. I can’t remember exactly when I joined this list (Zoe would know!), but I remember that the ADMIN at the time accidentally included me in their correspondence about me…they couldn’t find me in the ‘rooster” or an “addy” for me. (First time I ever saw “addy.”) I let them know that I WAS a human. This list brought me joy, frustration and yes, irritation, knowledge, and friendship ever since Then there was the year the “Viper” got the Blue Ribbon in the BBE class and I was hopefully expecting my first litter, his pups. Got a litter of Shepweilers instead (Thanks, Son!). I was breaking all the rules in the rule book that year. Then one year, Zoe asked me to “just watch” the List while she was at the National. Somehow she never told me to stop “watching" the List. And I actually had to read the rules <G> I DO do Facebook, Tweet, Pin, Link, G+, HangOut, and now Skype. But first thing every morning, I check out the List, (especially during the National, when “watching” the List brought a whole new meaning, an all day forwarding of Evan’s wonderful Blog) cringing when certain words appear, laughing when Ed shows up, sighing when another dog has died, smiling at all the wins, new litters. This list has a its own Personality and I cherish what it has give me, hopefully for at least a few more years.
