I've experienced that politely rude thing before. It set me back on my ear for a bit but I got over it. Truth is they're just people too. They may know more than I do about the dogshow world right now but I have areas of talent and knowledge too. I don't think I'm sure a bad egg to know and it's their loss. It's surprising how many people out there just don't want to be bothered. I met Laurie at a show in New Kent and was impressed right away. She's upfront, honest and yet encouraging, willing to share, open and helpful. I'm looking forward to meeting up with her and her friends (Maria for one) again. We're all on this journey together, some people are just more fun to travel with.
