Anymore when people see me at shows they comment on how short my hair is getting. It's because I don't have time to mess with it. Not just for dog shows, but on the average day I get up around 5-5:30 A.M. depending on the weather. If it's winter and I have to shovel snow to get out the door I'm up earlier. Then it's take care of feeding, watering and cleaning runs, then get ready for work. Drive 1- 1 1/2 hours to work, again depending on the time of the year. Spend 9 hours at work, then the drive home again and take care of the dogs. I sure don't have time for my hair! CandyZ > In a message dated 4/7/2006 9:45:26 P.M.
