Canine Good Citizen Testing. If you think your grey has the right stuff, you
can have him tested to be a Canine Good Citizen, the first step
to becoming a registered Therapy Dog! Priscilla O'Malley of Liebe
Aire Acres will conduct the testing for a fee of $15 and the proceeds
benefit GreySave! To be sure your dog gets a chance to be tested,
make an appointment ahead of time by calling Priscilla
at 951-352-2402. Appointments can be made the day of the event
IF openings are available. If you have questions about any aspect
of the test, give Priscilla a call. Read "My Dog Became a Canine Good Citizen at the “Race to the Park” – Yours Can Too!" from our Newsletter files to find out how you can prepare your hound for the testing!

DID YOU SAY "FOOD?"
Oh, yes, we DID say food! And such food! Those who came last year probably still remember how greyt the food was as prepared by our "master chef," Dave Cosner. This year we're going south of the border with a Mexican Fiesta! We'll also have the ever-popular vast array of salads, desserts, and of course a variety of drinks.
