Heads up all! Tomorrow is the big day.

We are in position #31 in the parade. Gather on David Hodges &
Donna Shorr's front lawn at 405 Park Ave. Be sure to dress warm
in layers. It should get into the 40's as the parade progresses
and you may need to shed a little.

I'll have hot mulled cider brewing and cookies for everyone;
bisquits for the dogs.

Lisa Hensen, a volunteer from the Camden County Animal
Shelter assures me that we'll have at least 13 dogs that are
eminently adoptable and looking for good homes. She has
volunteers to walk almost all of them, but we may need one or
two of our folks to help walk a couple of them. If you end up
walking a shelter dog, constantly tell the spectators along the
street that the dog you are walking is a shelter dog and needs a
good home. If anyone expresses ANY interest, make sure they
get a brochure!

Every one of these dogs is at risk if they don't find a home. For
them, it truly is a matter of life or death.

We also need a couple of extra hands to carry signs, the music
and to hand out brochures.

They are all vaccinated and have passed muster as socialized
and non-agressive. But dogs will be dogs, so pay attention to
your dogs at all times, and head off any dominance behavior
before it escalates into an issue.

I have an aging boom box to play the Jingle Dogs cd, but if
anyone has a really big healthy ghetto blaster that they can bring,
please do so (make sure it has good batteries!)

Call me with any questions or to offer ideas.

See you there!
