Oct, Nov and Dec activities

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29TH 

**************************************

     This is going to be a "dynamic duo" evening as we will be having our annual "Howl-a-ween Party" combined with Wallis' and Basha's "Bon Voyage Party". Wall-E and Basha are turning in next week to enter their Advanced Training at the Southwest Campus in Oceanside, CA. Please come and wish them well. We'll also be having our annual costume party and pot luck supper to celebrate my favorite holiday - "Howl-a-ween". Puppies are encouraged to dress up (I've heard Nuke's costume is going to be the bomb!) and their raisers can, too (if they wish). Dona will supply the meat trays and everyone else is encouraged to bring a "side" dish - salads, desserts, chips, etc. It's going to be "spook-tacular"! We'll start promptly at 5:00pm and we'll have to be done by 6:00pm, so that Dona's next class can get started. Hope you can come!! If you have any questions, you can e-mail me or give me a call (801-544-0330).

Welcome our newest puppy to Utah....here's Ladina!  First-time puppy raisers Jake and Liz just picked her up from the airport on Friday afternoon.  Oh boy, puppy breath!

ANGLEMAN WALK

Mid-May -- Information on the way! 

     If ANY of our chapter members do an "Outreach" (Cub Scout Pack Meeting, a school presentation or "show and tell" opportunity, speaking to a civic organization or business, etc.), PLEASE let me know. I report to Beck Hein at Canine Companions each month (mostly) and she documents the information and sends it to the National Headquarters, so that they can see what the state of Utah is up to (in a good way). So if you're out there "spreading the word" and showing off your pup, let me know so that your efforts can be counted.
