  Welcome  
 

Thursday, July 10
Reminder: 2009 Calendar Entry Deadline is August 1.

Next Monthly Meeting: Monday, July 14, 2008.

Open House Update

Congrats to the South Bay puppies that placed in the puppy trials:
    6 - 9 mos: Promise (3rd place)
    15 mos on: Tai (1st place) and Truman (3rd place)
    Breeders: Mika (1st place) and Hedda (2nd place)

Summertime!

Summertime means some extra vigilance in puppy care. Please be aware of the temperature of the pavement, the temperature in your car, and be sure your puppy gets plenty of water (which might also mean more "Get Busy" breaks).

What's on the Horizon

July 14 - SOUTH BAY MEETING: The meeting starts at 6:30pm with obedience practice.

July 26 - OBEDIENCE CLASS AT GDA: Class times are:

     9 - 10am: 12 months and older

     10:30 - 11:30am: 6 months to 12 months

     noon - 1pm: 7 weeks to 6 months

July 27 - GRADUATION AT GDA: This is what it's all about... Whether it is your puppy graduating or not, graduation is full of moments not to be missed! So, hop your the car... or be part of a carpool... and we'll see you there!

August 1 - 2009 CALENDAR ENTRY DEADLINE: It's time to go through all those pictures you've taken this year and find the ones you want to submit for the 2009 calendar. Here are a few guidelines:

  • Puppies in Jacket or Bib: You know we love any picture of a cute puppy... and which of our puppies isn't cute. However, this isn't just a puppy calendar. It is a calendar representing GDA! So, we'd really like to have pictures of our puppies in their jackets or bibs.
  • Pick Your Best Pics: Please be considerate of the calendar committee and filter your pictures for us. Please pick out your best (and favorite) pictures and submit only those.
  • Pictures on CD/DVD: Brian prefers CDs for your submissions. That way he has the pictures without having his Inbox flooded. If you just can't get a CD to him in time, you can e-mail pictures... but please make every effort to go the CD route.
  • Digital Pictures Only: We only accept digital submissions. So, if you have a picture that you really like that isn't digital, scan it for us and submit it.
  • High Resolution: The higher the resolution the better. Remember that we are trying to fill an 8.5 x 11 page with your puppies picture... and low resolution just won't work. (If low res is all you have, please submit them and we'll get your puppies picture in the calendar somewhere... like inside the front cover or the collage on the back cover.)
