Holiday Happenings

The calendars are here! WAG’s first Community Pet Calendar contest was a tough race to call. There were over 60 entries and most of them were pretty darn cute. But the judges picked 12 that grace the individual pages, plus a collage of all the entries on the back.<br /><div></div><br /><div>Everybody needs a 2009 calendar,…

And now..

I’m about “festival-ed” out. Between Fest, Loganfest and Monroe Fall Fest, the last couple of months have been busy. But we had a lot of fun.<br /><br />Now we’re looking forward to a couple of other things – Home for the Holidays adoption event on December 6 at Boss Brothers Country Store in Loganville. It’s…

Fall-ing

Can you believe how fast fall is falling? We’re already midway through October.<br /><br />Loganfest is Saturday, October 18, and we’ll be there with a pet show. You can also look for us at Monroe Fall Fest on October 25 in downtown Monroe. Bring your pets out for an afternoon of fun.

Once More, For Effect

<div><div>I should really read the previous posts, huh? Seems I told you twice in a row about the calendar contest and Boss Brothers Pet Fair. Oh well, it’s just THAT good.</div><div><br />How about a happy story instead? Check out Trooper, a dog we got out of the Walton County shelter. His before photo is a…

September news

Hey everybody!<br /><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Is summer done yet? The calendar says so, but the heat hasn’t caught on yet.

In Between

The Between Centennial Festival is history and we had a great time! Check out some 0f the photos. <br /><a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SKuTZ7OrT-I/AAAAAAAAAIM/hy2GEJRbnv4/s1600-h/DSC01424.JPG”><img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236441065353596898″ style=”FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand” alt=”” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SKuTZ7OrT-I/AAAAAAAAAIM/hy2GEJRbnv4/s200/DSC01424.JPG” border=”0″ /></a><br /><br /><a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SKuTiD1NmJI/AAAAAAAAAIU/WtIywQKr1cA/s1600-h/DSC01421.JPG”><img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236441205101664402″ style=”FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand” alt=”” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SKuTiD1NmJI/AAAAAAAAAIU/WtIywQKr1cA/s200/DSC01421.JPG” border=”0″ /></a><br /><div><a href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SKuShlvel3I/AAAAAAAAAH8/ovyvgFD–pY/s1600-h/DSC01408.JPG”><img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236440097512920946″…

Why We’re Here

Do you love animals? Are you wanting to make a difference? You’ve come to the right place.<br /><br />We stay busy, but it’s important to remember – WAG is a community-supported organization. The reason we can rescue animals, offer programs like subsidized spay/neuter, Ani-Meals on Wheels or others helping pets and their owners, is because…

More Stuff

Boy, this heat makes me sluggish. But it’s time to update a few things.<br /><br />On August 16 WAG will be at Between Fest, or whatever they’re calling the city’s anniversary celebration. We’re having a pet Fun Show, so get your pet’s best duds out and dress them for the event.*<br /><br />(* Note -I…

Adoption time!

Gotta remind everybody about our adoption this Saturday, July 12, at Boss Brothers Country Store on Highway 78 in Loganville. Come see the dogs and kitties rescued from the shelter, spayed and neutered, and all needing loving homes. The fun starts at 11 am.<br /><br /><br />’Til later,<br /><br />Buddy

Tail Waggin’ Thanks

Where have my manners gone? I’ve been lax in publicly thanking our most recent contributors. A big Tail Wag to Jayne Rogers, Teresa Pruitt, Robert and Nell Mitchell, Steve and Susan Brown, Alex and Diane Kliros, John and Sue Ruckdeschel, Edwin and Carolee McKay, Julie Petty and Mark Mobley, Jane Pannell and Gary Coker. Without…

Bad Dog

We love snacks, but not everything humans eat is safe for dogs. We’ve heard about chocolate, but here’s a little known dangerous product.<br /><br />Xylitol is a common sugar substitute contained in products like gum, candy, breath mints, toothpaste, mouthwash and other products. It’s harmless to humans, but very toxic to dogs. Dogs ingesting products…

Uncle Sam Speaks…finally!

<div>This little tidbit may not be appreciated by anyone lacking the experience of having called, written, waited, called again, cursed a little, waited and called many many more times to the IRS. Although our experience is limited, it does seem that the IRS is significantly more responsive when they want something from YOU, instead of…

Meeting Date Change

Heads up on our meeting date change. In July we will be meeting on <strong>WEDNESDAY, July 16,</strong> same time and place. We changed it because the primary voting is Tuesday (our usual meeting night) and we wanted to make sure everybody gets their ballot cast. So if you don’t exercise your civic duty that night,…

Tossing Pennies

Today we have another episode of our popular series “1000 Ways to Waste Hard-Earned Money on Your Pet.”<br /><div><div><br /><div><br /><div><a href=”http://bp0.blogger.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SGFizDkJ_BI/AAAAAAAAAG8/cE5b3TiKbyw/s1600-h/chatter.jpg”><img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215558472741551122″ style=”FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand” height=”107″ alt=”” src=”http://bp0.blogger.com/_GGzq-xpWRuI/SGFizDkJ_BI/AAAAAAAAAG8/cE5b3TiKbyw/s200/chatter.jpg” width=”139″ border=”0″ /></a>How about this handy talking bowl?

Dog Days are coming

We’re heading toward the Dog Days of Summer – my favorite time of year. I’m not thrilled with the heat or outcropping of fleas that comes along with it, but at least us canines have a season in recognition of our superiority. You don’t see any Cat Days on the calendar, do you?<br /><br />WAG’s…

Paw Power

Before outlining my personal woes, I have to comment on WAG’s State of the Animals Report and meeting on June 17. Wow! A packed house of nearly 100 people came to hear some of the details about dogs and cats in Walton County. The enthusiastic, engaged group also had the opportunity to hear from commission…
