With the warm weather comes some great events. On June 7, 2008, from 8am till noon, Little Victories and Help For Animals will be holding the 5th annual "Walk and Wag." You can pre-register so that you don't have to wait in line to get signed up. Send your check, made out to Little Victories, to: Little Victories, POB 247, Barboursville, WV 25504, or you can register at the event. Adults are $15.00, and children under 8, are $12.00. Come out, bring your 4 legged best friend and your 2-legged ones, too!!! This is a great way to help the animals, and your health. If you need more info - call 304-743-5802 or 304-736-8555.

Here is a little taste of what will be going on Sat. the 7th. There will be contests for the best dressed, best kisser, tail wagger, and much more. The children will enjoy the face painting and the clown that will be there, too. And, I think this is cool, they will have a continental breakfast for the walkers. Plus, plenty of cold water for both 2-legged and 4-legged walkers.

If you want to form a "pack," like with people from your workplace, school, or church, you will need to notify Little Victories by email at jmhrth@gmail.com to register in advance. You can give your "pack" a cool name, too! The "pack" that raises the most money will win a trophy for their office, school or church. And, members of your pack are still eligible for individual trophy's as well.

A Fun Way To Help The Animals.

If you like Longaberger purses or Boyds Bears, Little Victories has just the event for you. On May 30, 2008 at 7pm, Little Victories is having their Basket Bear Bingo. It is going to be at the YMCA at 617 5th Ave. Don't worry about parking, as you can park on the street on in the back. The money collected will go toward the continuing medical care of the dogs at the new shelter on Wire Branch Rd., Ona, WV.

Chain-Off 2008.

In 2003, one woman started something wonderful. She chained herself to a doghouse for 33 hours to raise awareness of the misery of chained and penned dogs. In 2007, it had grown to 108 people in 36 states and Canada chaining themselves to doghouses.

The organization, Dogs Deserve Better, is the sponsor of this. This organization is solely devoted to helping get chained and penned dogs back into the house and educating the public on the dangers of chained and penned dogs. The week of June 27th till July 7th, they (DDB) hope to have over 200 people chain themselves to a dog house to bring the plight of chained and penned dogs to the public.

Go to http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/ and click on latest news up at the top of the page. It has information on how you can participate or make a donation. If my health is good enough, I plan to participate.
