Active in the Community

Dartanian & Chico

There are a few things that I've added to the activity list recently and all of them are surrounding animals :) My favorite kind of activities!

San Diego Bully/Pit Bull Lovers Meetup Group

For lovers and advocates of the breed
http://www.meetup.com/San-Diego-BULLY-Pit-Bull-Lovers/

So far we've been able to attend one official meetup and I have become much more active in the web portion of the group. I've also been posting an adoption flier to try to help a great 2 year old pit named Flint to get a new forever home.

Chico had a great time at his first meet up and was very well behaved, the star advocate if I may say so myself ;) Dartanian was quite the opposite but hopefully after his alteration this week that will be fixed. All puns intended :)

The San Diego Golden Retriever Meetup Group
http://goldens.meetup.com/33/

The primary coined term for this group is "Gaggle of Goldens". It hasn't worked out with scheduling just yet for us to meet up with this group but they seem to be a really neat group of people and dogs and we are really looking forward to getting Dartanian some better socializing and activity with the same mentality when it comes to balls and water :)

The next outing that we may be able to attend will be at dog beach in about a month so hopefully by then he will be healed from his procedure and that will help a lot with his dominant tendancies.

Paws in the Park 2010!
http://www.firstgiving.com/4-leggedadvocates
Yes, it is here again and I am so thankful we are able to raise awareness, funds and attend our second annual Paws in the Park walk with Chico! Last year was a rather traumatic experience with his Urgent care and such that this year should be a "walk in the park" :) We are thankfull to all that are able and willing to donate to this wonderful facility. They do their very best to get each animal into a forever home AND have a wonderful foster program for those that need a little extra care and/or time while waiting for their new family(ies). Hopefully Brandon and I will be able to become even more active with assisting the EHS in the near future, whether that's with fostering or volunteering at the facility in some fashion. In the mean time we are amped about the Paws in the Park 2010 event and look forward to seeing the wide array of furry canines :)
