This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello List! First off I have a couple of announcments. One of my regular chatter's Jackie, from Australia, has been "hired" to be my co-host on Fjord Chat at PetsandVets ! When I'm out of town showing, or just get busy when everybody drop's by at once, doing those speed greetings, Jackie will be there to pick up the slack. She is out of town competing, so hold all the posts for her till she get's back, and we'll give her an official welcome!
The other new's is, that after some tricky bugging on my part, I have gotten Dave McWeathy to guest speak on Fjord Chat! ( The tricky part was pinning Dave down to a date, as he is VERY busy driving, competing, and otherwise unavailable alot of the time....) Dave has agreed to guest speak on Nov.1st, Sun. night, at 9:00 Eastern time at PetsandVets. He is writing a short bio for us to properly advertise this chat, so stay tuned.....For those of you who have been around awhile, you know that Dave has some interesting stories to tell, about his Fjords and related events. ( X-country trip with a 3-up of Fjords, ending at Libby, and that 40 Fjord container of Fjords from Norway.... ) His recent win at Myopia... ect. I have been enjoying this forum very much lately, and wanted to also add that it seemed that half of Norco, this very horsey town of mine, left, and went to Equitana the last few years... I 'cant tell you how many times we have been out driving, and had someone pull up alongside in their car and say... " Oh a FJORD! I saw them at Equitana!! ) Pat, I like the way you train!!! As a true coffee addict myself, I also have a local coffee shop, " Pats Kitchen " and my Fjords have been spotted tied up there with my cart's taking up a few parking spots, while I visit and drink a pot or two. ( All in the name of training, of course! ) Im headed to an ADS show on Halloween at Jodi Cutler's house. We are going to have some interesting classes, along with all the normal stuff. There's a "Coaching Dog " class, that I intend to enter. To be judged on manners, ( that elimanates the Corgi ) appearence, ( takes care of the one eyed /deaf dalmation with a serious skin condition ) and suitability to the overall turnout. EEE Gads, you mean I have to carry a spares kit just for the pooch? Lets see... leash, tags, treats.... could get heavy! That ends up with the German Shorthair, ( very disinterested in the carts,) and the black mutt... ( outshines them all in brains anyway! ) Any and all suggestions please! Take Care everyone!!
