ECHO HILLS KENNEL CLUB 2

GCH CH Shine’s Deck the Halls

We wish we could claim that the NSA snooping was responsible for our recent computer down time, but it was really more about geeks and geezers, i.e. the Good Guys’ Geek Squad and us.  In any event, we have all of our computers back on line and lots of show results to wade through.
