Glad to hear your investment is working. Dennis G
Dear Dennis, I wanted to let you know that I have finally found
my puppy.
Your letter of response was very helpful and led me to a breeder
within 50 miles of my home. We were able to be a part of his
life from one week old and Jessie and Helen Crisp always welcomed
our visits. We had quite a scapbook even before we brought him
home. We are not sure if "Cash" has taken on our personalities
or if we have taken on his, but we all know that we are a perfect
match either way.
We could not be more pleased and I want to thank you for giving
us the Lab breeder page address for the contacts that led us
to our puppy. Sincerely, Charlotte Walker
It's nice to know people needing and having good pups can get
together. I have a picture of Charotte and Jessie Crisp of Bentwood
Labs on page 21. Dennis G
Dennis, I'm new to hunting can you tell me how is the best way
to get me and my dogs in shape for bird season. Jeff T St Louis
MO
Jeff, I sit on my butt in front of a computer all day and look
out at my dogs chasing squirrels, so I am far from in-condition.
So this spring I went to Target and spent about 20 minutes looking
at bikes. Most of that 20 minutes was trying out seats.... I
bought a bike for $70 and |
for a half hour a day I ride bike. No I
don't have the shoes or pants you need to go to San Francisco
to buy or a crash helmet... it's just me every morning riding
bike for about 30 minutes, and yes it has helped. And better
than walking or running in 20 years I should still have my own
knees. Dennis G
Dennis,What is your policy on printing press releases?GinaH NYC
Gina, turn to the back of this magazine. There are over 300 people/companies
paying to have their name and business in this magazine. I just
don't think it's right to print a press release for someone who
hasn't paid. That said, periodically you will see a press release,
usually from Tri-Tronics. Tri-Tronics has been with us for years
so I print their stuff. My policy, is to print press releases
once in the same size advertisement you paid for last year. Dennis

Dennis, I have a website and with this last virus I'm getting
like a hundred e-mails a day, oh "dog god of the internet"
any idea how to make them go away? Jetty R Los Angeles, CA
Lucky you, I came back from running two days of hunt tests with
Jenny and I had 3800 e-mails waiting. My trick is to create 10
folders and look for words like XXX, mortgages, a few pieces
of anatomy, the latest country in Africa that you can make that
$20 million and send your e-mails with those words in them to
those folders. When I did that those 3800 messages ended up to
200. You still need to look at the message subject of all 3800
hundred, cause I always get some real e-mails that slip |
through, but with the latest virus there should be only
a couple of titles. I sort by message subject and in about 15
minutes I can clean up the 3800 and get to the 20 or so that
are real. They need to shoot a few of the idiots that created
these viruses. Good luck, Dennis G
Dennis, our dog club does not have a website and I was told you
do them for free. How do we get a website and what need we do?
Jeff R. Detroit, MI
Jeff, we create about a website a month for dog clubs and non-profit
conservation organizations. The only thing I ask is that I don't
need to type. Just put together something about your club, activities
and contact people and have someone e-mail it to me... if you
don't type... find a kid. I'll take care of creating and hosting
the site for you for free. Dennis G.
Dennis, I went to your huge collection of bulletin boards on
your website and some are not functional and some have porn on
it. You need to work on these things. Mary B, Lacrosse WI.
Mary, your totally correct. And by the time you get this I should
have them corrected. It's sad that people need to put porn or
post litter listing when I have nicely asked them not to do it.
As far as the functionality, I recently changed internet servers
and I need to update them all, it is number one on my agenda
after I get this issue to print. To help clean things up I will
go on a mission and start billing the people who advertise their
litters or porn on the bulletin boards, the boards are for discussions,
if you want to advertise we offer that.... sorry it had to come
to this. Someone needs to be the bad guy I guess! DG
Keep the letters and pictures coming we'll make room.
