I am so sorry, but we have decided not to set an agility course in the turf room until July 29.
There is still cleaning going on in the building. There are trials every weekend, which means
that we would have to tear down by at least Thursday each week. Rally and freestyle will be
performing on the turf, and this would give those teams the opportunity to practice with their
dogs on the turf. This is something that is not available to those teams very often. Thank you
for your understanding.
Also, I am leaving for vacation for the next 2 weeks. If you have questions, you may text Sherri
Heizer. She will text me if I am needed. Thanks again!

Hey everyone! It’s time for the JUNE FIT DOG WALK! This one will be at 5pm (and so will all the summer walks – cooler!) THIS SUNDAY – 6/9 – and we will meet at Wegerzyn Gardens. Several of us will be at the club for the rally/obedience trial, so we thought we’d go somewhere close. Bring your best buddy and meet us there!

Hello all,

We would like to invite you to join us in a presentation at the next members meeting. Please feel free to bring a snack or finger foods to share with the group.

Have you considered what will happen to your dogs and other pets when you die? What if you are hospitalized or enter a nursing home or rehab facility? What if you become ill or forgetful and can’t care for your pets? These are serious concerns since our pets depend on us for all of their needs and care.

Pet Planning is the process of planning and preparing in advance to provide for and protect your animals in the event of your future death, illness, or inability to care for them without assistance. Pet Planning usually involves adding pet-specific terms to routine estate planning documents like wills, powers of attorney, and family trusts. It sometimes includes more specialized documents, such as a Pet Power of Attorney or a Pet Trust. Pet Plans can range from very simple to extremely complex. There are Pet Planning options available to fit every family, circumstances, pet, and budget.

To learn more about Pet Planning, please join GCDOC and Laura J. Martin, Esq., on Sunday, June 30, 2024, at 5:30. We will cover the range of planning options available, critical terms to include for the protection of your pet, and more. Questions are welcome and encouraged.

Hope to see you all there.
Kristina
