I don't need the personal attack and quite frankly, that's why I don't usually post to the list. I used to post a lot, but was tired of being virtually stabbed by members that didn't like what I had to say. I seem to remember my mother always teaching me "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." If you read a later post, you would understand that I'm not discounting the life loss or destruction that this hurricane will cause and I feel for all that will be involved. I was just curious because I'm a newbie to the breed and didn't know if the club ever made back up plans. My apologies if my post was worded incorrectly. I do believe this is the last time I will ever post something to this list. I'll stick to asking questions to the people that I know personally and won't take the things I say out of context. Once again, for those affected by this tragedy, you are in my thoughts and I hope the best for you all. Please be as safe as possible.

You are worried about a dog show? What about the people who are right in the path of Ike and what is going to happen to them and their houses and everything that they own. That question remends me of the woman back in 2005 who drove from New York to New Orleans right after Katrina hit and was mad because when she got there there were no shows. Would you not think that if you were driving somewhere and there was no power and you could not buy food or gasoline would you not suspect there was some kind of problem and would you not turn back or make a phone call and try to find something out. The letter that the woman wrote was actually printed in the Review. I remember Lee Brown having a letter written to her telling her that he was very sorry that there were no dog shows that weekend and that he was sure that there would be more shows that would have judges that were good for her dog! I do not usua lly respond in a negative way publicly like this but that question has really made me angry.
