The next meeting will be held on Thursday, January 21st at 7:00 P.M. at Chino Valley Town Hall

 

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:

Happy New Year to everyone and looking forward to seeing all of you at our meetings. I would like to have a social event sometime between March and May (when the weather is warmer. Maybe a Bar-B-Que Pot Luck. It was brought to my attention last year by several members that the club should do something just for us no meeting, no match, no parades. Just a social event. I agree.  So, everyone check your calendars for those months and we’ll see what we can come up with. Also, still asking members for any input, info, on the events the club participates in each year. I have only had a couple of responses.

AKC Press Release

New Year’s Eve traditionally is a time to reflect on our past, and more importantly, look forward to the changes we want to make in the coming year. In addition to your own New Year’s resolutions, you dog might have a few of his own. The American Kennel Club (AKC), the dog’s champion, reflects on some resolutions your dog might be thinking about for 2010.

Top 10 Resolutions by Dogs include:

10. Owner on floor, dog in bed.

9. Stop begging and actually get a seat at the dinner table.

8. Give up the dream of ever catching my tail.

7. Bark like a big dog but still get cuddled on lap like a little dog.

6. Get back at cat for litter box incident.

5. Find every bone I ever buried.

4. No more haircuts! (Come fall, I can go as a Komondor for Halloween).

3. Become alpha dog in my house. Well, at least stop letting the cat push me around.

2. Invent goggles that allow me to see the electric fence.

1. Finally pass that dam AKC Canine Good Citizen test.

Guest Speaker Bonnie Keith presented a very interesting and informative talk at the July meeting.  She presented her background with animals, starting as a young child, and how she came to be in Chino Valley.  Bonnie is the club “Archivist”, she has been collecting important club history and events.  Over the years Bonnie has “archived” years of meeting minutes, documents and photos.  The beautifully done books were shared at the meeting and are available for all members to view and read. 

Among Bonnie’s extensive history with Dog Rescue, Showing and Training, are years at the San Diego Zoo and many stories of her wonderful dogs.  Not only have her dogs been Dog Fancy Center Folds, featured in many news articles, her special Rescue “Captain” is featured in the book “Our Best Friends”. Bonnie just happens to have a copy available for sharing with members under the watchful eye of her Manchesters.

Contact Bonnie  She welcomes all documents and photos!  Come see what the club has done over the years!

You too, can participate!  You too, can volunteer to help – just like Bonnie!
