It seems that some in the midwest showing circle have inflated views of their importance to others.  I don't go to dog shows to make anyone's life miserable or to spoil their fun.  Now, if my presence has that effect on certain people that's their problem, it really doesn't concern me in the least and frankly I sit back, read their blogs and websites and laugh my butt off.

I go to dog shows to show my dogs, for the fun of showing my dogs and for the joy of being with my friends.  I don't care why you show, what you show, where you show or who you are friends with.  If the fact that I spoil your fun with my presence, with winning when my dogs win or with the fun that I have, well that's tough.  Because you are not any influence in my life, other than the good laughs that you provide at your own expense. 

Delusion:  an erroneous belief that you are much greater and more powerful and influential than you really are.
