Notes from
the Editor:
It's Finally Here!
Yup, the new issue is ready on Christmas Eve - after I was up all night long figuring things out! (g)
At some point soon, you will be able to view the cover and the contents page online, so keep checking back. At the right I have placed some short descriptions of the contents in the new issue.
The Mini Magazine for Nov.-Dec. must be ordered in the form of .pdf files by e-mail or on CD-ROM by regular mail. You may access the order pages through the links to the left. Certain sections of the magazine will be available for free at all times. You may pay easily and simply by using PayPal, a dependable service used for online payment by such companies as Ebay, etc..
Everyone (fee paid or not) is still welcome to contribute Mini-Moments photos, treasures photos, show photos (nearly-free PR for your dogs!) articles, and information on show wins.
I am also offering an online subscription beginning in January of 2004, an arrangement which will allow you to automatically receive a copy of the magazine in your e-mail four times a year. Many people have inquired over the last year regarding receiving a hard copy of the magazine through regular mail. Depending on interest shown in the online subscriptions, that project remains on the list for future consideration!

Once again, I extend my very best wishes for happy holidays and an outstanding year in 2004!
Yours for the BEST - MS!!!
