1. I am not going to this years National. I wanted to go but I think we will be in the way of both Fema and The National Guard. Its too bad but these things happen.I did make the 2001 National after 9/11 but it was in Georgia. I still remember the lines at the airport at both ends. I will never forget Hurricane Katrina. I have been to three Nationals in Texas already. In fact I have been to 31 Nationals. I hope those going have a safe trip and enjoy themselves. 2, I bought a new puppy bitch who will be here in about five weeks time. More later. Jack is going to love her. 3. I got three premium lists for this years National. All three of my dogs have been to the National already. 4. The work on the house for this year has been completed. I am enjoying the rest. We now have a resident bear and a frog who made himself at home in the dog pond. I do not know what he is living on. 5. I am just getting over a cold and do not want another one so I stayed in for a couple of days. 6. Philip Moore please call me.
