Kristy,
Yes! We need you! As soon as we get the go-ahead about the April 25th meeting, I will need help printing and distributing flyers. It would be more fun if I had someone to distribute them with me! Or, we could split up. In any case, we will need to meet to coordinate things, but we need to wait until after the April 5th meeting. I'll keep you posted.
Anyone else willing to help would be great!

For Kristy Sandoval: Hi Kristy, You can help! We have an critically important public hearing about South County dog parks this month (probably the 25th). We must get information out -- we need a huge turn out or we get no parks. Send me your email address (wchouse@msn.com)so we can get you more information. Thanks - we need you!

I go to Clark Lake Park on a regular basis. How can I help to make it a dog park? Do you need help with putting up flyers? Do we need signatures for anything?

Robert, there is a flyer at Clark Lake on the bulletin board there if you get a chance to go there and see it. It is just a flyer that tells briefly about KDOGS and asks people to email me to join, and to check out our web site. We are posting it an Marymoor park too. Local pet stores are a great idea, as well as local kennels and groomers perhaps.

I will put more business cards out at Clark Lake this week. Thanks for letting me know.

Hey Elynn, the KDOG "business" cards are gone (Clark Lake BB). Are there more??

Actually, just what flyer are we talking about posting? Is it on a web page somewhere? Grocery stores have bulliten boards, Home depot, pet stores??, is this what you are talking about.

< replied-to message removed by QT >

Suggestions are needed as to where we should post flyers to get others involved in KDOGS. If you have a suggestion, please post it here, or email it to me. elynnc@earthlink.net. Thanks!

Terri, Elynn, thanks for the kennel info -- i'll check them both

Tom, althought I have never met you or your Mattie, I am sincerely sorry about your loss. So far I've been extremely lucky and have never had to deal with it, but I know the time will come. I can only hope that I have the support of good friends and other animal people to help me through it. Please know that we are here for you and thinking about you and hugging our pets in Matties memory.

Wes, we take our dogs to Soos Creek Kennels on 208th. The owner lives on site and they have indoor/outdoor runs. We are very impressed with the care our dogs get while there. We have one dog who has to be given medicine daily and they always manage to do a great job giving it to her.

Wes, From a recommendation of other dog owners at Clark Lake, we have been boarding our dogs at Centennial Kennel in Maple Valley at 236 & 18 Hwy. They have heated sleeping areas and our dogs were healthy after 10 days there during all the cold and snow 3-8 to 3-17.

Tom, i'm very sorry for your loss -- it is hard! I will give Spirit an extra hug - in Mattie's name. It is too easy to take our friends for granted.

Wes (BTW it is a GROUP effort)

Wes, thanks for your efforts.

Unfortunately, our little Shi-Tzu/Terrier mix died on Monday. Her heart failed, and fortunately she suffered very little. My wife and I really miss her.

Dogs require a lot of care and time, and sometimes we all get frustrated with them. But nothing can match the unconditional love they provide. Dogs have magic.

So, everybody give your dog an extra pet for Mattie.

Tom

to all: Any recommendations for a GOOD boarding kennel in South County?

A message board can be usefull if enough join and use it. It is worth a try.
