Here's what you do on newsgroups.

1) Read
2) Reply if you want to.
3) Post if you feel you have something to contribute or if you have a
question.
4) Take everything with a grain of salt.
5) Ignore when you want to.

It's the internet and it's everywhere. And no...no one knows it all.
If you want to go head to head with someone then by all means feel
free to do so...it's the internet and the rest of us most likely
really care. Bickering threads only last a couple of days at the most
and they become history.

Enjoy the group!!

Now that's different and interesting - I'd never have thought of that, but
it's cool fro folks who are really involved with dogs.

I bet that the Greyhous Rescue groups would be interested in your work,
too. My cousin used to be very involved with greyhound rescue in South
Carolina. I don't know whether they give awards of any sort, but it might
be an idea to contact some of them, send them a brochure and business card,
or something similar.

The show trophies are also a very nice change from the usual things.

I'm not a dog person, but I used to raise an dshow American Singer
canaries, and I bet that work like yours (adapted to us "bird-brains" of
course <LOL!>) would be a welcome change from most of the typical raffle
items and trophies/awards.

:)

Actually, you are right on target. One of my good friends is the national
chair of Grayhound rescue, and she has samples of the memorials. They will
be on her site soon.
