2010 Recognition Banquet

Despite the fresh snow, tonight was the annual banquet for PetPals. We had a nice presentation by Linda Nebbe, an update from the Humane Society group, enjoyed a wonderful spread of food, loads of donated door prizes and good times/laughs together!

Bo

Here is a doggie who needs a new, good home. Right now Bo is owned by my coworker who has a pig farm (and is kept outdoors). She is current on all shots and has been fixed, but they say Bo doesn't do well with the pigs (barks at them a lot, etc.), but is a very nice pup. She will be 1 year old on Dec 2.

If people had questions they could for sure contact Andrea via email at andreab97[at]gmail.com and she has offered to get a hold of Melanie if they wanted more information.

Get out and Walk!

An exercised pet is a happy pet! And guess what, it will help you too! Enjoy these last warm days by walking your dog!
