Shame On Me!

Shame on me for not studying this subject better before even thinking of writing this book!! UGH!! It's so tough! I haven't even gotten to the breeds section yet! Well, last night I put the dog book up on the UMG site, but I haven't made it active yet. Trisha said it was OK though to put it on the site. I'm just waiting until I can create a sample copy before making it active.
