We hope everyone’s holidays were wonderful, and hope that gifts did not need to be returned.

A huge THANK YOU to our Santas who volunteered for Santa Paws

• Kurt Mason
• Mike Nasser
• Jim Carson

As an informational note: Norm Haner volunteered, however was not able to be Santa due to a back injury, we thank him also, and wish him a speedy recovery.

The two weekends were busy and filled with laughter. The Santa helpers were just as exhausted by days end as was Santa.

We took many photos; there were rabbits, guinea pig, two sets of ferrets, cats, and lots of dogs in all sizes. To those of you who stopped at Petsmart for Santa Paws with your greyhounds, thank you, they were, of course, the most photogenic, but we are a bit bias.

In anticipation of a new year, there will be familiar events coming back, like the picnic, and we continue brain storming for new and interesting other events, for fund raising or just fun.

We always seek our members’ input, maybe there is an idea we haven’t thought of, or maybe there’s a suggestion you would like to make for a new place for a meet and greet, let us know.
