Me too! Oprah has helped me grow in so many ways. I have laughed with her, cried with her, felt hope with her, looked into my soul and discovered what was there and worked on what wasn't because of Oprah; whatever will we do without Oprah every afternoon at 4 p.m.? (that's our time slot for Oprah here.) I would have also loved to have been on that trip to Australia with Oprah. I have a writing friend in Australia, who I adore that is deeply committed to her dogs, her large and small tropical birds (parakeets fly around in the trees there as casually as our robins and blue jays), world peace. She has given me glimpses and insight into Australia that have been very exciting and so interesting (such as they have actual snake patrols that come zooming to her home whenever her birds scream danger.) So many things I would never have learned or become aware of about Australia, a beautiful country with a stunningly beautiful and varied landscape, without her endearing and close friendship.

I have had rather a bad experience trying to join a previous yahoo group in the recent week, was harrassed by the moderator because she didnt like my answers on the pending membership form..which included a new litter of pups and an intact male (which has now been neutered) I was blamed and shamed and hounded literally even to the point where the moderator was going to contact my place of work where she tracked me down on facebook...all this has left me bewildered as to what the groups actually stand for..I thought sharing experiences and gaining knowledge would be the framework of a group of this nature. We do not have a high rate of dumping in the country town where i reside nor in the bigger capital cities of our state.. All I want to do is to join a group and learn and share information on this highly individual breed..thank you
