I find so many folks have thankfully a great time doing things that dog people would find a folly--card clubs, volunteer at nursing homes--those rather "non dog people" type things. I don't know maybe we get so invested in the dog thing we do not find time to do the other things in life. I have spent some time wondering about this in the last few months since my life has been messed up with an injury. Many of you give 24/7 to the rescue and I do contribute every nickle I can to the cause. Are there also GSD people out there also needing help. I really do not--but I am in trouble again with the rotator cuff and could ask for prayer or note. Sorry--not meaning to beg--just need support. I cannot believe I got released on a Tuesday and felt great--Friday I took jeans out of the washer and felt that damn thing blow. If anyone wonders why these baseball players cannot come back for so long--call me. I would never have believed ---NEVER.
