Hi guys and gals! It's been a little bit for me, but due to work, its kinda kept me out,.. not that I haven't stopped in and read a few posts, just to stay in touch.

The other day I stopped in to let ya all know I had a prize possession stolen,..my S5CG.. who else could understand better than a fellow dog...

anyways, another magical thing happened, I was contacted by ksjumpmd <kirk) stating that he had an extra, I was amazed by the thought of the offer, and very excited...his next PM to me--which I wont go into detail yet--- absolutely floored me,... and made me stop in my tracks to reflect a little.

Since I have been here, I have noticed a special bond, and even have taken part in a few of them, knives are what brought us here, but this gos beyond knives, friendship, compassion, camaraderie, and general love and respect.

Cheers to you Dan and family,.. to the older Dogs, thank you for making and keeping this place as great as it is,..to the new Dogs,... Welcome, you will find that this place IS, and always will be quite special.

I have met a couple, and talked to a couple via phone, and enjoy that this place made myself a few friends,.. I love stopping by to read a little into personal situations, and it keeps me connected and fulfilled in a way, (if that makes sense)... I see that this place is growing, so my family is getting larger, and by my oath, I will help any dog out, in any way I can, if need be.

Thanks again friends, have a safe holiday, God bless,.. and Kirk.. you sir, are a special man.

Paul
