I'm remembering with a smile one time I woke up with a raging 104 degree temp. Jim wouldn't let me go the 200 plus miles to the show. But he knew how upset I was at possibly breaking the major, even though the judge wasn't a judge who would put her up, that he loaded the dog in and took her. And Jim was not addicted to dogshows, to say the least. Sometimes, you just do it. Stormy looking at the gorgeous blue sky and the sparkling snow, still not anxious to drive in it!!! *^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^* Dog's love is different, it requires no return www.FairhopeGSD.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
