David & Nancy,

I am SURE you will have a whole routing section!   So glad to hear she'll be
going - I'll be trying to move heaven & earth to get there!

David, she did a wonderful job showing you at the match - so don't worry you
have a pyr bitch at the end of your lead.  Ms Clondike is a very special
girl and our thoughts are always with you.

Have you hugged your Pyr today?  Gunner's off to the "Fat Farm"
and Murphy's still ROTF laughing!  Ha! Ha! "FAT BOY"

>Clondike is a spayed Pyr bitch, now 11 years and 4 months old.  She was

>since, with some serious drug reactions along the way.
>
>She is now in full remission and has held this for nearly 4 weeks since

>Some weeks back I entered Clondike in the Veterans class at the GPCA
>National Specialty coming up next week in Chicago.  I figured it would be
>nice to have her name in a catalog and never really dreamed she'd be well
>enough to attend.  Now she is doing so well my wife, Nancy, wants me to
>actually show her.

>Now Clondike is just a pet and differs from the Pyr standard on several

>Thanks to all for your support, and I hope to see some of you in Chicago.
>Veterans Class could be good for a few laughs.
