"P" IS FOR PROTECTIVE VESTS FOR POLICE DOGS

 Perhaps a pumpkin would be more perfect for "P" but that would be too obvious and too pedestrian.  Instead Protective Vests for police dogs would be more pertinent.  Recently a combined demonstration and fund raiser to get more money to buy these vests for Twin City metropolitan police dogs was held in our neighborhood.  Because some of these loyal and hardworking canines have been seriously injured (some have died) by criminals with knives and other deadly weapons, protective vests are essential.  The purchase price is costly. . . $950.00.

A wonderful young man, Jim, a beautician at Euphoria arranged for the demonstration and the Salon donated yummy snacks and refreshments as well as a silent auction, and a raffle for 6 hair appts. Jim donated 5% of his income that day toward the purchase of a vest(s). Patrons were generous and the result was fantastic.  If you  would like to learn more about this national effort and to make a tax deductable donation go here. .  .  . PRONTO!

    Beautiful canines! I have a lot of respect and admiration for working dogs; always feel a stab whenever I read or hear stories of them getting hurt. Glad there's a fundraiser for their protective vests. Yay to beautician Jim.

      No problems, I was happy to wait until noon. I actually got some work done for a change, instead of watching the clock. But alas, I missed being first. :-(
