Summer 2004 Barker

Over the next several months, keep a close eye on The Barker and your email for our monthly membership meeting location.

The Fire Department where we usually meet is being renovated and we will be meeting at different locations depending on where we can find a room. I had no idea that Fire Department and Library rooms were in such high demand until Jan started to explain the travails she has been going through over the last few months while trying to find a place for us to meet.

The Dog Show that Nancy Warfield and Vandra Huber coordinated for the Kellogg Middle School was not only fun for all who participated, but was very well received by the students. The students participated in selecting their favorite dogs from Groups. Mike and Vandra’s Scottie puppies were lovely, not quite sure to make of the noisy gymnasium, and the students loved them. The students also participated in the Obedience demonstration by acting as the posts for the Figure Eights.

Nancy encouraged enough students to volunteer that we were able to perform three Figure Eights simultaneously. Dante did a few retrieves over the high jump and the Utility signal exercise to wind up the Obedience demonstration. Don Martin brought Mark, his Old English Sheepdog, who is a trained Service Dog. Don talked about Service Dogs and how they assist their people. A member of the school staff spoke briefly about rescue organizations and presented her rescue Irish Water Spaniel to complete the program. The school put several pictures of the Show on their website

And the 22 August 2004 Show at Marymoor Park is finally starting to come together. YEAH!! Please call, or email, Bo or Jan if you would like to help with the show.

Respectfully, Dee Carlson
