Barb BARB; I THINK THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG...INSTEAD OF BECOMING A 'FAMOUS' PUREBRED DOG BREED CLUB, WE HAVE BECOME AN 'INFAMOUS' ONE... IT IS A BLACK DAY AND TIME FOR THE MOST COURAGEOUS AND NOBLE AND BELOVED WORKING BREED THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN... DOGS WHO HAVE WILLINGLY AND GALLANTLY DEFENDED AND DIED FOR THEIR MASTERS, IN WAR AND IN PEACE.. TODAY...WE HARDLY APPEAR WORTHY OF THEIR SACRIFICES OVER THESE LONG YEARS...JMO BARB WILLIAMS ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
