Ah memories galore from all you splendid Listers. Two come to mind with the umbrella and rain action of long ago. #1 I had a Troll son Leslie D. was showing for me at the Dallas/Ft.Worth Specialties -- not sure who the judge was but he had one of those big yellow raincoats and the wind was whipping it all around. I was totally proud of the good strong standing his ground behavior as that coat hit him smack in the face. #2 At the National in Cincinnati they had a TT and one dog actually splendidly totally destroyed the umbrella as the guy opened it at the approach. Awesome stuff with these 4 legged marvels. TNX Sally for the thoughts and know that I always have one with me as I now live in the swampland and there is more rain than most anything else.
