As you may have noticed, I’ve been occupied elsewhere the past few days. I’m in Atlanta, where I just finished giving a three day seminar that allowed for only a few minutes of email in the evenings. I have today off and then we’re off to four days of dog shows, before I begin the process anew in Toronto.
I’ll try to get some blogging in when I can, but I see I’ve left you in very capable hands. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post and to those of you minding your manners in the comments.
Well Damn Kate,,, If I had known you was in my neck of the woods would have been more than happy to buy you Supper.

Thanks Ratt – but the nature of these trips is such that what little time I get to myself, I usually spend here, or sleeping! 🙂
No Problem Kate,,, of course I am a southern redneck, so my idea of supper would have been a bucket of chicken from KFC, or Chili Pies from Sonic Drive-In. LOL.
,
Mmmmm, Sonic. Now I’m homesick for a 3am burger & Limeade but I’m afraid the one I know has probably been blown away by Ike.
btw, what kind of seminar were you giving Kate?
It’s an immersion seminar on Miniature Schnauzer breed type, training and show grooming. It takes about 20 – 24 working hours to get through all the material.
I live in Atlanta too. You got here in time for some nice cool weather.
Rather than cheap Irish supper and penney less Scotich lunch, you can send big cheque of American or Candain donation to SD here that may accepted, guys
I went to a dog seminar last week. There were three other attendees – a veteran, a wide-eyed youngster, and the assistant.

The veteran was my 8-yr-old border collie, rottweiler-german shepherd mix; the youngster was 3-month-old rottweiler, lab/collie mix…
…and the assistant was a raccoon that got to close to the chicken coop.
Now, normally I only experience the fragrant results several weeks later, but I managed to catch the seminar’s concluding moments:
(Translating from Canine)
“Now pay attention, girl. After the initial strike, get a good grip on the back of the neck, roll your shoulders, flip the intruder into the air (keep a good grip, now), and body slam the bugger. You cannot count on blood loss – these suckers are tough – you got to break their neck. Do the sniff test to make sure, but watch for a nose strike! Yah, I learned the hard way…”

our boxer, hound, boreder collie cross like to hunt quillbear:-)))))
Oh Kate
I live 1 hrs north west of Terana, so I could come down and we could do dinner one evening
“Dutch treat” of course
That means I,m Dutch, thusly you treat:-))))
Well, if Kate had time for an SDA meetup while she’s in town all the merrier, but it doesn’t look like that would be the case. All the best, don’t trip over too many Liberals down in 416, and don’t forget to get out here to 905 for some fresh air.
