Green Marble Growing Up Arrow 2

Our meetings are held the 2nd Sunday each month. January through Decemer.  They will consist of a combination of education, working towards badges followed by fun and games with our dogs.  At this time, members will be taking turns hosting the meetings in their homes.  Information on other facilities will be looked into for the future if, or I should say when, the troop becomes large enough to outgrow our living rooms.
 
Often, on a different weekend of each month, we get together ofr a hike, play date or some fun activity.
 
Bigger events, such as campouts and special community service activity, will be planned as interest is expressed.

A New Year's Wish............

 

For every dog searching trash cans for breakfast, a full bowl with his name printed in bright letters.

For every dog who slept fitfully last night, chained in a frozen yard, a soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.

For every shelter dog, spending Christmas morning in a soiled a forever home filled with smells and sounds of family. a forever home, filled with sounds and smells of family. run, a forever home, filled with sounds and smells of family.

For every "Christmas" puppy given, a tolerant, caring owner
who won't abandon you as you grow into a real dog.
For every ailing pet, enough money for your owner to pay the bills
to make you well....

For every lost dog, a clear, safe road, and well marked path to lead you home.

For every lost dog, a clear, safe road, and well marked path, to
lead you home.

For every old and tired friend, a warm fire, and a soft bed, to ease
your aches and pains.
and …

For every Heart Dog at the Bridge, a moment when you know that you are remembered, missed again and loved forever
