many of you know how desperately homesick i am for southern california. well....had a great treat yesterday and, then again, today. thanks to mike lynch, i was able to attend both the SP futurity and the sb/r specialty ... vicariously, of course. getting such frequent telephone calls and reports on who was in each class, who handled, how the dogs looked and how they ended up placing, down to a blow by blow of the specials today, was such a wonderful gift - imagine, here i am, 2000 miles from home, but getting to attend my "local" shows anyway! bless you, mike! congrats to all the winners, you "looked" great! looking forward to tomorrow's show. :)) diane Diane Strasser Silstra German Shepherds "In dog years I'm dead." - Author unknown <BR><BR>**************************************<BR> See what's free at http://www.aol.com.</HTML> ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
