since some people seem to regard what i did as nothing i am going to tell the whole story 1. I live in New York 2.my dog and bitch were entered in Savanah. I did not make the entries 3.my dog is out of coat and too thin and home for RR. I was not showing him at all for the next two months. 4. I got a phone call monday before thanksgiving asking me to please come down (1000miles)because if I did the major would hold 5. i had already made other plans for Thanksgiving.Its a big thing in our family I was not planning to come. 6. I rearranged my very busy schedule and drove 20 hours each way with three dogs. I am not young 7. It was a hard trip. I was exhausted. My dog who is an open dog was entered in Am bred for that show. my bitch was in open and I had another bitch along because there was no way to arrange boarding her at such short notice and would you like to pay my bills for that? 8. I did not expect to win with the dog. I had a lovely open bitch in prime condition and ther e was not one person there at that show who even thought to clap for her to show she was welcome. 9. A bitch who spooked on exam was placed in front of her at the very first show. This bitch should have been either excused or put at the end of the line. I have it on film 10. Do i give a damn if said judge or any other person gets mad. I sure as hell do not. 11.Georgia used to be the home of southern hospitality. I did not see a single sign of that here. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
