From the Editor I have been thinking about a way to say this recently and couldn ’ t come up with a way that didn ’ t sound bitter and I am most definitely not bitter. Dog shows can be fun, rewarding, full of support and some- times even magical. Other times they can be the exact opposite, and even worse. I have heard and read some very nasty things about myself lately, things I didn ’ t know were true or even possible. Some so outrageous they border on delusional and I can ’ t help but wonder if the persons mak- ing such statements are even sane. Thank- fully I have a thick skin and am not delu- sional nor vengeful. This article, written a few years back, sums up “ stealing joy ” better than I could at this point. It ’ s written by an obedience person about obedience but conformation or any other dog sport can be substituted. Think about what you say before you say it. Don ’ t steal other people ’ s joy, but moreover think about how you yourself will be viewed and what pain you might be causing.

We recently had a young junior commit suicide because he was bullied so badly at shows. I ’ m an adult. I have a thick skin. I don ’ t care. This young man wasn ’ t and didn ’ t. Please, with the Holidays ap- proaching, please try and be a little kinder to your fellow exhibitor. Please, try all year, every year. Don ’ t You Dare Steal My Joy by Connie Cleveland On the occasion of my tenth anniversary, my husband asked me how I wanted to celebrate. I asked that we take a very dear friend, my adopted grandmother and one of the greatest of all the great southern ladies, out to dinner with us. At dinner, my husband, Brian, presented me with a diamond ring. It was gorgeous and I was speechless, but even as I thanked him, I worried about the expense and extravagance of such a gift. As if he knew that the next line belonged to my grandmother, my husband excused him- self from the table.
