August 26th

The dawg dayz of summer are about to end... Have been busy making totes and cutting up cards for our Books Fur Kidz fund raising summer project. The totes are fabulous and I wish we made them sooner. Perfect beach bag! Made out of mesh so sand will fall through and the mesh doesn't matter if it gets wet from wet towels or swim suits!

Volunteer of the Year award

Tonight I was surprised and honored to receive the MDI Hospital's Volunteer of the Year award - along with Rissa and Timber. They were on the award too! I thought I was giving a brief presentation on the Books Fur Kidz project at the end of the evening. Much to my surprise - they had a slide show of all the volunteer activities - not only at MDIH but the READer dog and Dog Scouts volunteer too. What a nice honor.

August 15th

Today I went and sat at the Somesville Library Blueberry Festival with Puppy Pails (Books Fur Kidz) A beautiful WARM sunny day to be sitting on the library lawn by the mill pond and ocean - I had a nice breeze behind me and some battery operated fans to help keep Timber and myself cool. Made 170 dollars for our cause! Pier is at the Machias Blueberry Festival selling pails and will get a report later from her.

speaking engagement

Pier/Bri and Rissa/moi were invited to speak at the Ellsworth noon rotary club today. We spoke on dog scouts... what it's all about, national level and what we do on the local scene - fundraising, education etc... nice group of people.

Down east dog scouts walk and pot luck lunch/meeting in Bass Harbor. Took Rissa. Nice sunny, summer day!

August 3rd

Took Timber with me to deliver a set of pet oxygen masks to the Trenton Fire Department. They seem to really appreciate them - nice group of folks. Timber allowed a demo for those there. Robyn and Cirra came along for the presentation too!
