My humble appologises Julie,The village idiot strikes again , I didnt realise that was the members only.

[ShesaLikeableBiBear]

DLB, you have me by the short and curlies as I have NO idea who you are.

I was totally dumbfounded to receive a phone call from Julie on Tuesday evening. My initial reaction was that it was something to do with the DOL cookbooks.

To the person who submitted the nomination, I have NO idea who you are either but THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Look forward to meeting Julie, Troy and others at the awards ceremony.

[RoxyNHemi]

I sent in a nomination, it was a few days late, but hoping it would be still accepted, but never got any confirmation or information if I was too late or not.

[WreckitWhippet]

Thankyou to the person who nominated me for Master Breeder of the year.

Whoever you are, I know that you're one of the awesome owners that loves and cares for one of my babies and quite possibly calls me at ungodly hours

[Erny]

My humble appologises Julie,The village idiot strikes again , I didnt realise that was the members only.

Only because it is the "Masters" awards, in case you didn't realise? The other category nominations don't have to be MDBA members. :D
