I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.
I have a secret

A long long time ago - in a galaxy far away - I WAS in high school. I WAS in marching band and my marching band ever 5 years - gets together we practice and march in the Memorial Day Parade in Camillus NY.
So if any of you are in the area - Memorial Day - and you come to the parade - look for one of the 'more mature' majorettes - it'll be me. Here is the video from the last time we gathered.

How cool…what a great "secret"..will it be recorded ?

I wonder how many of us on the forum have cool secrets to share?

Well last time we did it - it was so probably. As a side note I put my grad year on the back of my shirt - as did then the rest of the 'twirlers'. I figured if I dropped the baton - it would be 'oh she dropped it' but with my grad year they would say, "wow she can still bend over and pick it up." LOL
