Now, after reading that, how can anyone miss a national. I know, there are reasons why we can't go. I almost was still in trial and even now, something could happen on Monday. I know the other side is trying like crazy to find a way to derail the final judgment. But, life is so short. We never know what great dog we might see, or what terrific new friend we might meet. We never know how many chances we have to earn a new memory, or to impact another. If you aren't there, I will do the best I can to include you through the blog, and answer any e-mail I get. So, get on that plane, or warm up your computer, one week from today we will be waiting for tomorrow to see who goes Winner's Dog, Winner's Bitch, and Select. I hope you are there with me, even if only in spirit.
