People seem to forget the delete button (if they don't like what they are reading) no one is MAKING them read it! I delete about 80-90% of the posts from this list before getting past the 2nd or 3rd sentence. There is too much crap going on. Today I watched my dog get dumped (don't care about that) by a judge who was obviously in cahoots with a well-known all-breed handler. The part that really gets me is that once he had his 4 dogs (that handler's dogs), he ignored the other 3. My dog was with Melissa (on the list) and it was so RUDE for him to ignore them. I paid the same entry fee and deserve the same consideration but more importantly, that junior, who was working so hard and was so nervous, was disrespected! THAT to me, my friends is a big, steamy pile of you know what! We smiled anyway and had a good time and just chalked it up to butt-kissing and the whole quid pro quo thing! Happily sun-burned and proud of Melissa's effort today in So. Cal, Jen ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
