This year my local kennel club is only offering Prizes for FIRST (even) in GROUPS. The club is not willing to absorb the cost, and we simply don't have enough donors. Everyone I know seems more concerned with money issues.....except for the Government which seems to have an unlimited amount. <g> Joan Morehead Shreveport, LA ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
