Jamie and I were at the same hotel...and at the last minute my wife decided not to come to Utah......out of respect..."Jamie, your secrets are safe with me!....lol....FB ----- Original Message ----- From: Windwalkergsds@xxxxxx To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 7:56:14 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Whew! I'm finally getting caught up!  I got home to six puppies screaming when they heard me, the older dogs all wanting their hugs, cats all over me and the roses all gasping for water......it's great to be needed.  <g>    T'was a great National....a special one for any of you nay-sayers, who still think you can't win unless you have an edge.  The people who own the RWD (under me) and the WD and Maturity winner (under Dan) are "Newbies".....this is their first show dog!  And my WB was breeder/owner/handled to finish that day.  So be enlightened and encouraged....    Lots of great moments to share with friends; the comraderie was wonderful.  The weather was perfect....the quality of dogs a sight to behold.  Watching Hunter Tank going around the ring dressed exactly like Dad brought tears to my eyes.  I got to ride with Barbara on the way to the airport and had a great chat....she is one of my all-time favorite dog ladies and a great judge.    Thanks and kudos to the Utah club....Max Thompson for picking me up and Anna Myers for taking me back.  Anna is one gracious human being. :-)    Congrats to all the winners!    Missed seeing alot of faces, so everybody work on getting to Topeka next year! Later..........Jamie         ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.  All material remains the property of the original author and of GSD Communication, Inc.
