From Our Members
The following items were submitted by Charlene Curry:
(1) Remember, we have a great resource in the DOCLC Library. If you take a minute to look at the list of available items and let me know before the Dec. meeting, I will bring the requested book or tape to the meeting.
(2) A special thank you to Steve, Vic, Shannon and Julie for helping with the abbreviated class offered to the dogs adoped in October, National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, from the Dona Ana Humane Society. Weather really cut down on the number of people at the second, dog-included class but Steve's first class presentation was well received and much appreciated. I'm sure this helped the new owners set a vision for their new pets and hopefully we will see them again at our spring classes!
(3) The holidays are almost here and you are probably looking for that perfect gift. How about a wonderful 2005 calendar! I will have the Dona Ana County Humane Society calendars, beautifully designed by Judy Whitehead, at the December holiday party. These calendars feature not only the 12 photo contest winners but also include over 100 pictures of local pets. There are also VALUABLE Coupons - including discounts at Animal Friends and PetCo and three coupons for Home Again microchips for only $12.50 (including the registration fee!).
