It is a lot of fun. We had suite tickets to Florida-Georgia line, I thought they sucked but I prefer old country and not the new abomination they call country music. Our suite was kind of below capacity, so our bartender was bringing us drinks when we were 1/4 full. I never got up except to piss ...

[quote]Posted by StripedSaint I'd imagine if you sign a spay/neuter contract they would honor the original price. The problem is that every puppy will be shown to a breeder/handlers before being passed over to you. If the litter is a great litter there may be only 1 or 2 non-show/non-breed dogs, so ...
