Howllo Fellow Hound and family lovers: My nephew, Ronald, was invited to participate in the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC this week. (Ronald is in uniform)

The National Young Leaders Conference (NYLC) is designed to instruct and enrich promising students in a hands-on, experiential atmosphere while preparing them for a lifetime of leadership.

NYLC offers students the opportunity to discuss current events and issues with top policy makers in Washington, D.C., analyze concepts, and then put them immediately to work. This dynamic program features creative decision-making simulations that challenge young minds to solve problems and lead their peers through role-playing exercises in an energy-charged environment far from the traditional classroom experience.

Great job Ronald! We are all very proud of you. Love Aunt Kit Cat, Grandma, Grandpa, Chaps and Emma!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Apple lovers: Chaps and I are on our way to read the Lily book to some pre-school students. We are visiting a wonderful pre-school called the Wise Owl, right here in our home town. We will visit 3 classes each with 20 students.

The first thing we do is talk about dog safety for a few minutes. Chaps is a great teacher and loves to demonstrate how to lay very still!

Do you live near Cincinnati or know someone who does? If so we would love to visit other schools. This is my School Visits Page

You can forward this blog to anyone you think might be interested.

Well, we better go get ready. I have to run to the store and buy some apples for Chaps to give to the teachers. He really wants to be the teacher’s pet!

BREAKING NEWS…………………………………………………………………………………

This just in from Bob the DOg.

I am forwarding this email to get the news out, from Bob the DOg

The DD servers are down and we are waiting for Alex & Melissa to fix them. It may be a little while b/c Alex was rushed to the ER last night and Melissa had to take their Houndie to the ER this morning.

So the only way to reach a large group of people is to pass this info on as some DD slaves need some drool for their Houndies.

Melissa & Alex Jokela ( mjokela@camulus.org ) for Sarge who is in the ER

Ilene Sagen ( isagen1@netzero.net ) who’s Otis in in the hospital in an oxygen cage. He was having a hard time breathing and has been back and forth to the Vet for days. It started as kennel cough and they are trying to prevent pneumonia was setting in. He is a VERY sick Houndie.

Ellie Foth ( slave2thepaw@yahoo.com ) who’s Scooby is having surgery today, looking for a tumor that is causing his low blood sugar.

Thanks,
Suz

Howllo Fellow Hound and smart girl lovers!

Ok, here is how it went down! I rarely let the kids in the garage. Too many little things that I cannot see. So, today, I had the garage door open and Emma is allowed to come in. I am just managing my inventory of the Lily book and keeping an eye on her. OK, I have a pile of approximately 15 dog toys laying in front of the washing machine. No big deal, I have a pile of about 30 upstairs. Emma proceeds to analyse the pile. No problem. But what she does is very smart! She picks out the one toy that she has deamed as her outside toy for years and runs out of the garage with it. How smart is that? She runs up to her favorite place out back and starts loving the toy.

The other toys are sad, but I am one happy Mom. Hey, where does one buy that honor kid bumper sticker? Slurp!

More Later…Cat, Chaps (slept through the whole thing) and Emma, Valedictorian of her class, I’m sure!

Howllo Fellow Hound and loving them at any cost lovers: USA TODAY reports that so far in 2006 $38.5 Billion dollars has been spent on our pets. The breakdown is as follows:

15.4 Billion on Food (Seems low, the bassets want a re-count)
9.3 Billion on Supplies/medicine (Are the HOP totals in this?)
9.2 Billion on Vet Care (That’s all?, They must not have gotten BaRNI in this figure!)
2.7 Billion Grooming and Boarding (Chaps and Emma did not add to that number!)
1.9 Billion Live animal purchases (The cost of love compaired to the cost of food? Food for thought!)

She has two hounds, Hudson (star of this video) and Morgan, who you can see with Hudson in the next beach video. It looks like Hudson is showing us his fantastic home! You are right Hudson! It is fantastic!

Some good will now come to animals because of Michael Vick — and the generosity of comedian Carol Leifer.

The Humane Society has told TMZ that comedian/producer Carol Leifer purchased the note Michael Vick used when he made his four-minute apology speech in Richmond, Virg. — for a whopping $10,200 — with all proceeds benefiting the Animal Cruelty Reward and Response Fund

Earlier this month, TMZ reported that the Humane Society was auctioning off the note that Vick used as he made contrite speech. On the now famous note, Vick jotted six-points which called for him “to apologize for what I’ve done, apologize to his coach and team, tell young kids that I acted immature, ask for forgiveness and understanding, take full responsibility for my actions, and remind people that we all make mistakes.”

There’s a side note that says “dogs have suffered.” Thanks to Carol, some dogs now get a break.
