Hey everyone! Many of you have already filled out the survey about your dogs….using a name randomizer, this is how the dog of the month is selected, and this is also how your dog’s birthday gets posted on the birthday board!
If you’ve already completed that survey, no need to worry about this one! The survey is now a Google Form instead of a Survey Monkey form – that’s the only difference.
If you’ve never completed the survey about your dog(s), please fill this one out! We currently have 206 dogs in our responses, and I KNOW we have more dogs than that at the club 🙂
Thanks so much!

Hello, dog club friends!
The new catalog for Gem City merch is up and running! Please check it out – just in time for session 4! Things to know….
1) If there is something you’d like to see added to the catalog, please let me know! We found a wonderful new company that has lots of cool things.
2) IMPORTANT—->you get to choose the logo type for your item, and the price you see on the item does NOT include the logo. You need to click on the logo tab and add that part to your order. Jackets, coats, zip up hoodies for sure will have the embroidered logo, but tshirts, joggers, etc. would probably be better with just the printed logo. At any rate, be sure to add your logo type to your order!
3) Like before, I’ll be happy to pick things up and bring them to the club as orders are completed – just let me know!
Enjoy browsing the catalog! CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW THE LINK!
