June Newsletter

Well, this doesn't feel like June!  Having to worry about possibly postponing the start of class due to rain, doesn't seem like something I should have to worry about in June, but it's a reality right now!  I can't figure out this weather.  Classes may start late, but they will go on!

I also wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your patience and understanding this past month with cancelled classes, etc.  I lost my mother in law, and just three days later my Sensei, my Pekingese Fooey.  Both were sudden, unexpected and horrible losses for which I am still feeling a huge amount of sadness and pain.  Again, I thank you all for understanding when I couldn't be there or when I wasn't quite myself.

Fooey

DOG OF THE MONTH

The Jensen Dogs

 The Jensens have been attending classes with Braveheart since last year and have had their wonderful crew of dogs in a variety of classes including Puppy Preschool, Beginning Obedience/Manners, Fun with Scentwork, Intermediate Obedience, Rally and Canine Good Citizen!  Mac (Bulldog) and Damian (Golden Retriever) are pictured above at our Easter egg hunt, but their clan also includes Scooby (mixed breed), Snookie (Bulldog) and Martini (French Bulldog).  I hope I am not forgetting anyone!  Mac and Snookie are competing in Rally.  Damian has his CGC and is a Paws to Read dog!  We love these guys!

Fundraiser for Military Dogs

Dublin Creek Kennel is doing a fundraiser to raise money for http://www.supportmilitaryworkingdogs.org/.  This wonderful organization raises money to purchase cooling vests for the military dogs. Some of these dogs work in 100+ degree weather.  Cooling vests and doggles make their jobs safer and easier for them.  Braveheart will have a booth as well as many other dog businesses.  The fundraiser will be held on July 2 from 11:30 to 4:00pm.  Please come by and check it out!
