I read her post the same way that you did, Claudia. I also got the impression that she may have dealt with one too many puppy callers who take up a lot of your time, ask a million questions, and then tell you they are looking for a cavalier for $300, and that your prices are outrageous. I'm very guilty of using a poor choice of words to express myself sometimes, and as a double whammy...I have all the tact of a Mack truck, so I tend to be pretty forgiving of others. It's time to give Cheryl a break and let this one rest. Myra
