Hi, As this year is coming to a close, I want to thank each and every one of our members (close to 600) for making this list what it is today.
It was 5 years ago that Cindy Smith started this list. It has always been and will always continue to be a "free" forum for Cavalier owners to discuss their hopes, fears and experiences with this fabulous breed. This has been a good thing that Cindy started, all those years ago!! We have seen many heated discussions over the years, especially the AKC vs CKCS one, and with each discussion, I have watched this list come a little closer to understanding and accepting each other's view points. It also seems that no matter how heated our discussions are and how much we may vehemently disagree with each other over certain viewpoints....when one of us, no matter what our affiliations are..needs help, this group of caring and generous people.."our list", pulls together and can be the most humanitarian group of people that I know. The events of September 11th, have made us as a world realize that life is only fleeting and how important it is for us to work together, no matter what our differences may be. For me personally, Sept.11th is my birthday and from this year forward, it will always be a day for me to be thankful for life, as I have seen how fast it can be swept away. This tragedy has somehow made our differences seem very very small. It is my ferverent hope that we can continue to move forward as a group, to help each other to grow, to support each others endeavors and to protect this wonderful endearing breed. Happy New Year and thank you for 5 great years of reading!! Kindest regards, Kim CKCS-L owner Ballymena Cavaliers ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
