Granholm's meatless day proclamation grinds
Farm Bureau
Mark Hornbeck / Detroit News Lansing Bureau
Lansing -- Gov. Jennifer Granholm proclaimed Saturday a meatless day,
and the Michigan Farm Bureau is having a cow. Wayne Wood, president of the Farm
Bureau,
in a tersely worded statement, called the governor's proclamation for Michigan
Meatout Day
"unconscionable" and "an insensitive" slap in the face to Michigan's livestock
and dairy farmers,
not to mention Michigan's meat-eating residents."
Liz Boyd, Granholm's press secretary, countered that "people may be taking this
too seriously."...

CONGRATULATIONS on a job WELL DONE
Bitta!!!!
Thank you Jayne & Anna-Lena for the
ringside judging updates!
WHAT a NICE SURPRISE!!! PHOTOS
from Kirstie Venton in the UK!!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH KIRSTIE!
I have attached some photos I took of Jada. I borrowed my Dad's camera to have a
try with a posh camera so I took quite a few photos!!!!
As for my girlies. Shenzi (My Lorenzo daughter) got 3rd in Veteran Bitch, her
daughter Bea (Out of Jag) was 2nd in Post Grad Bitch, and
madam Mika (Shenzi's grand daughter, out of Spitty) was 2nd in Junior Bitch to
Bitta's beautiful Summer. Unfortunately Mum's camera didn't
like the lighting in the hall so didn't get very good photos of my lot!

Thornapple America The Beautiful "Maris"
I would like to share with you
today article that was published in the Croatian Daily National Newspapers
"Jutarnji list."
Actually we had a double page for the essay and pictures of Maris and cats.
Unfortunately it is in Croatian, but I can say what was written.
In the article I wrote about aussies, characteristics and how it's perceived as
Australian breed, but actually Aussie is originally American.
I wrote about getting my first Aussie from the one of the World's leading
Kennels in the breed, Thornapple, and how the communication was so great.
How I got pictures from you Ellen in all stages of Maris development. Kind of
cool article it was :-) So I will attach it to this e-mail, so you can see
structure.
The thing that I always wanted and would be so grateful to you if you could do
me a one favor. I would like to put Ad in our Croatian Kennel Club news
magazine.
I was thinking of whole page Ad to advertise and I always admired for those that
Chelsea do for Thornapple. It would be great if she could do some supportive
AD from Thornapple to the Cinology of Croatia and Thornapple America the
Beautiful with the T logo, some relatives and family and supportive text. I
would just love it!
