Barbara called me on Thursday, "This is Barbara Amadon, I was wondering if your 
club had any events planned for the next few weeks that I could attend.  I am 
staying at my family's home in Morningside for a while and I wanted to get with 
some dog people."
   
  Well, we do not at this moment have any plans.  So I asked her if she would 
like to come over to my house for dinner Saturday.  She thanked me and accepted 
the invitiation.  I gave her directions and planned to cook chicken, it is so 
easy.  She called back to ask if I would take her to see turtles.  I was glad 
to.
   
  So she showed up here about 3 pm, and we talked dogs, swapped stories about 
dogs and many other things.  I spent a great deal of time on her sister's 
kitchen floor in Pittsburgh when I was a kid, petting Helma of Waldasru (sp 
sorry).  I learned very little but it fed my love for dogs and this great breed 
of ours.  I walked past Amber's Regenia, she was not welcoming to strangers and 
saw some of the other dogs that Jackie had at the time.  She told me about many 
of her past dogs and brought pictures and her personal calendar with her 
history in dogs on it, the highlights at least.
   
  We went out to see the tortuses, and she indeed took one.  He seemed nice, I 
guess, pretty for his specices, my husband thought he had a nice topline.
   
  We had dinner, and my mom came over so they could talk about the old days.  
Then Joey Perez-Gurri stopped by and he and Barbara had a great time, she knew 
him when he was rather young.
   
  All in all it was a wonderful evening.  I was able to give her a place that 
was not full of memories already and she was able to think about something else.
   
  She clearly is looking for a brief break from the usual, with dog people 
thrown in here and there.  She has had a lot happen recently and the loss of 
her husband has been a big blow to her.
   
  I have made it clear to her that I am close enough to be of service if she 
wants to come visit again.  It was rather thrilling for her to tell me I may 
have a very un-line bred pedigree but the dogs look much nicer than she 
expected, both from what little she remembers of me, and what she thought she 
knew about me.  At least I got structure, she said so, so it must be so.
   
  She also respected my decision to keep these dogs having bred them and to 
take either a lot of time off, or not breed and show any more, given what my 
darling dogs have been through.  I just need health and wider heads.   I agree.
   
  She will be in the Miami area for several weeks, I hope she will either visit 
or invite me to Morningside soon.
   
  She sends best regards to one and all,
  sheila
