Fall Park Clean Up !!! Saturday November 13th 8:30-Noon

Its that time again. Time to get out the rakes, the shovels, and the garbage bags! The Seaview Park Clean-up Committee has set this coming Saturday as Fall Clean Up Day. Volunteers are needed to help not only with the clean up but also to assist with the organization. If you can help please e-mail Maddy's Mom Paige at paigec@eastlink.ca Maddy's Mom will coordinate the clean up with Charlotte's Mom Donna.
If you can spare 15 minutes, or 2 hours, please come out . We need you there.

On another note, As of Monday November 15th, the Winter Maintenance Schedule will begin. All garbage cans will be removed from the interior of the park. There will be one garbage can left in each parking lot. Also the poop bag dispensers will not be refilled, so each and everyone is reminded to BRING YOUR OWN POOP BAGS. ( An extra one in the pocket is also useful to help out those who have forgotten) Even in the dead of winter, we must pick up behind our dogs. Not only is it the law, its the responsible thing to do.

Have a great week everyone, and see you on Saturday. WOOF!

Many Apologies to any or all of you who sent mail through the blog. It was supposed to be forwarded to another account that I check daily, and it wasn't. So Chandler & I are very sorry. We promise to check the mail account here regularly from now on. We missed posting Hank's Birthday Ppicture in the Birthday section..so today Hank gets the front page! Happy Birthday Hank, and I see liver treats in your future.

Hurricane Earl is coming.......

Hopefully everyone has been getting prepared to batten down the hatches. Even if Earl doesn't make landfall on our side of the province, the winds will be fierce and there is a good chance we may lose power. In that vein, the following is Chandler's checklist to stay safe;

1) Fill your car up with gas --no electricity means no working pumps

2) Have cash in your paw. Credit and debit wont work.

3) Fill the bar b q tanks

4) Get batteries for flashlights, radios etc.

5) Have candles and matches/lighter at hand

6) Clear off decks and patios of anything that can move

7) Pack a small emergency case for your 4 footed friends in case you have to evacuate your home. This should include any meds they need, 3 tins of food and dry food, treats and a large bottle of water. Emergency aid always has food for humans, but our furry buddies need to be taken care of. ( Also remember to pack 4 days of any meds you may need)

8) Have enough drinking water for 4 days per person. 1 gallon per person per day.

9)If you MUST go to the grocery store, buy canned goods only. If the power goes out you will eating everything in the fridge and freezer first anyway

10) My favorite--make sure you have wine/beer to sip as you are watching the storm!

Stay safe everyone,..and see you all after the storm!

Woof!

PS...Hank says make sure to buy a large steak, so that your fur kids have to help you eat it before it goes bad.

MouseBGone NOT !!

MouseBGone came, saw, and did NOT conquer, but the mouse is having a party!

I think we need a Plan C.

Yes, Chandler is still friends with the mouse! See pic above of MouseBGone at work .
