Going back and forth to each other's rooms, playing with dogs, helping each other out with each other's dogs......

My question to you is since you live in Long Island....are you planning on attending any of the shows.

Thank you very much for helping me to understand all of this and for everything else that you do. I am planning on attending on one of the days in February. It will be my first dog show, and I am really excited about it. I feel really at home seeing any dogs and I adore them, but Yorkies especially have completely stolen my heart since I was a teenager. I can only imagine the emotions I am going to feel being at the Specialty next month.
