DOG OF THE MONTH
Artie is a sweet and adorable Cocker Spaniel who is loved and trained by mom Dawn Kerber. Artie has completed our Three's Company class, Indoor/Outdoor Intermediate and is going to be starting our Strength, Balance and Body Awareness class soon! We love having this great team in class!
BE CAREFUL OF THE HEAT
Everyone please remember to be careful and thoughtful of the warm weather. As it gets warmer it is too hot to take our dogs with us in our cars if we need to leave the car. Even if it doesn't seem hot in the car, it can heat up quickly to dangerous temps.
RAPTOR VOLUNTEER WORK
Most of you know that I volunteer for a wildlife education program called Native Bird Connections. I go weekly and help to feed, clean up and work with the raptors. Native Bird Connections has 15 birds including Hawks, Eagles, Owls and Falcons. The birds in the program are non-releasable animals that have some impairment which makes them unable to be released into the wild. I love this work very much and have just started blogging about some of my work there in my bird blog www.braveheartbirds.blogspot.com.
I wanted to share with you that I am doing a fundraiser to try and raise money to purchase netting for the raptor enclosures. The wasps are relentless, they want the bird's food and some birds won't eat with the wasps on the food. Not to mention the fact that going in to clean up and feed with wasps covering the food is challenging for me and the others who care for the birds. We would like to create a wasp free enclosure for our raptors. We have had a very generous donor offer to match all of our donations until we reach our goal of $1000. Please consider donating to this very worthwhile cause! See our fundraiser here. Visit Native Birds Connections website here. Thank you so much for your consideration!
