WE truly loved the GCFA show this year.  It was great to have all kinds of
fun people there with none of the nasty attitudes that affect some other
shows.
 
It was truly a pleasure to see our old friends (too numerous to list and
offensive if we miss one or two <g>) and make some new friends.  Since we
only met and re-met such nice people we would like to consider all of you
our friends!
 
There was some confusion about the post show dinner but those that made it
had a great time.  Next time we'll try to plan better or at least enough
ahead of time that we don't read email after we get back that we needed to
see before we left.
 
But we'll be back the first weekend of next October!!!  See you all again
then!
 
So far we really like Kim's book BTW...

That over protective mode ends in just a few more weeks.  Most mothers
that is.  Since no one knows what she was really like before the pregnancy
no one can really say what she'll be like sans hormones.
 
If you are willing to give it a shot keeping her away from your daughter
for the most part it might well work out.  We are quite familiar with doing
this as we took in a couple moms and litters into our shelter this year and
had to try to keep 5 year old Derek safe.
