Bake Sale

Bake Sale 

To benefit the future Dog Park

Just a little information about the upcoming Bake Sale for RDOG 3 on Saturday, April 19th; 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., the Bake Sale will be held in the Admiral Nimitz's Room at Eisenhower Recreation Center and baked goods should be dropped off at 8:30 a.m. that day. If that is a problem you can drop them off at my house 3185 Jemima Avenue in the Lindsey Villas on Friday.
Here are a couple of helpful hints to make our sale run smooth:

• please label your goods especially if containing nuts ( ex: brownies with pecans )

• please if possible put your goods in containers or plates that do not have to be returned

• cookies in clear bags with 2-3 large or 6 average in each bag

• bar cookies/brownies that you think we can sell separately in sandwich bags if possible

We will have bags and some containers to divide cakes and cupcakes into smaller groupings if necessary. We are hoping for a great turn out and appreciate all of you hard work.
If you have any questions or ideas please feel free to call me Diane Ferguson 352-633-7362.

   

Breed of the Month of April - Llewellin Setter Duchess

The Dog Breed of the Month

BREED OF THE MONTH OF APRIL

MEET DUCHESS

Thanks to John and Saundra Harvey

 She is a Llewellin Setter. 

These dogs are kind, gentle, loving, and smart. 

They are known as "the gentleman's close in gun dog" for their quail hunting style and abilities. 

Duchess pointed her first quail when she was 4 mos old after watching the "big dogs work" for an afternoon... the bird was almost as big as she was. The next day she hunted with the "big dogs" and instinctively "held points and honored points of other dogs". She has held a bird pointed for at least twenty minutes without moving while we hunted other birds pointed by her companion dogs from a scattered covey.  

She has accompanied me in the evacuations of Katrina- Rita hurricane victims through the airlift receiving area in Atlanta serving as a calming influence to the evacuated victims of the New Orleans and Houston area in the receiving and assessment area of the aircraft hangar.
