Ladies & Gentlemen, Except for the fact that I was never a husband at all, Ed's words could be my own. Of course, my husband joined me in all of the wonderful GSD Show years and that's one thing that I loved so much. Keeping all the things together for the AB club, Obedience one and the now defunct German Shepherd Dog Club of Baton Rouge was something I'll cherish forever deep within my being. TNX Barbara for the question and big time TNX to our splendid Flower Boy for the superb response. Norma no L - ok I'll try to lurk now!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: <edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <uwish@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Showgsd-l" <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 9:01 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: WOULD YOU DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN? Barbara you ask a very interesting question!....I was surprised that no one wanted to share their answer....but before I answer the question "Would I do it again if I could go back, knowing what I know now?...I believe that was your question....let me say this....my life has been an incredible ride! I've enjoyed about 95% of it....I have few regrets ( could have been a better husband I suppose)...if I die tomorrow I was blessed!...would I do conformation again?.....well the time I spent, the money I lost, and failures I suffered, with very very few successes, the nastiness of a few folks I've met along the way......the answer is hell yeah I'd do it again...I don't miss showing, I miss my dog friends....that is the ONLY reason I stay on the list is to keep in touch with a few of them, and soon I'll be gone from here too, nothing lasts forever....FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
