Thanks to everyone who turned out for our annual strut down
Haddon Ave. The weather was perfect!

Special thanks to:

Nancy Welsh (for hooking us up w/ Camden County Animal
Shelter's Adopt a Pet program)

Margaret Jacobs, Director of the Camden County Animal Shelter

David Hodges and Donna Shorr (for the use of their front yard
and electricity),

This year we had many new participants as well as a few
regulars. (Too few regulars if you ask me!).

But for me the best part of the event was including 5 great shelter
dogs from the Camden County Animal Shelter's Adopt A Pet
program. Macho, Sandra, Spring, Roxanne, and Brenna were all
doing their best to work the crowd and find a new home for
themselves. They represented the many other fine dogs back at
the shelter very well.

4 Volunteers from the shelter also walked with us and helped
hand out flyers for the CC Animal Shelter, and Collingswood's
Stray Animal Fund event next week: the annual "Pet Portraits With
Santa" (Dec. 5 at Scissors & Suds! $7 donation )

We also collected over $80 for the CC Animal Shelter.

And on top of all that, we had a great time and made alot of
people smile. Parade watchers of all ages just love seeing and
meeting the dogs in the parade.

Cinder performed his new "Leap-Thru-The-Candy-Cane-Hoop"
trick along the way and perfectly for the judges review.

Look for pics to be posted soon from KPK9W regular Jason
Danowitz, and Michelle from the CC Animal Shelter. Anyone else
with pics is encouraged to upload them to the site as well. I've
created a new folder for them in the "Photos" section.

Please post your impressions of the parade and any ideas to
make it better next year.

Regards & Happy Holidays,

- Rich Greene & Cinder The Wonder Dog
