Sounds just like my experiences, but then I wake up. Syd

I think it's an obligation that we accept when we enter

I was thinking about this topic since my last post. Maybe it is because I
am
watching PBS and they are doing the tribute to do-wop, and The Kind of Earl
was just on. But, I started to relive the feeling of being in a group.
The soft wind on your face as you went around, the sound of a crowd
cheering, and knowing it isn't just your friends. The sight of so many other
winning
dogs, and the pride of knowing you are representing the best breed in the
AKC
to people who may not have ever seen a good German shepherd. The twinkle
you
often see in the eye of the judge, and the rolling of eyes when your dog
might not stack like a stature, but rather jumps up to lick your face. Or,
when
the judge comes down the line, and your dog starts to wag his tail when he
knows the judge is looking at him. At times like that, when a small grin
comes
from the judge, or the smile when you are picked in group. The pride and
pounding heart when you walk to the inner line to stack with the picks. The
last
time around before the winers are choosen, and the floating over the ground
as you know that the rest of the group is standing watching you and the few
that are being picked. The silience as you stop and stack your dog, and
the
private feeling you have with your dog, when nothing else exists for just a
minute, in that ring. The tension as the judge walks back down the line, and
then back to the front, and knowing that you are being examined yet again.
