ADMIN:? I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this.? I think it is important for the future of our Breed even if this is an AB issue.? I mentioned this event a couple weeks ago.? This was an event sponsored by Freshpet with all the proceeds going to fight canine cancer.? The event was yesterday, at Griffith park.? Here is an update. While the numbers aren't in yet, the event itself was a huge success.? There were almost 300 run/walk folks as well as private donations.? Candy Spelling (Aaron Spelling's wife/Tori Spelling's mom) was the spokesperson.? What a ditz, LOL!? Carmen Electra (men, you must know her) made an appearance and was very friendly and spent lots of time with the performance dog people and their dogs.? She really is a tiny woman.? And, very shy and sweet.? Never woulda thunk that!? The paparazzi was a pain but respected our space.?? I was the West Coast entertainment organizer.? I HATE cameras and public speaking, which the sponsor wanted me to do at the last minute.? Yikes!? I found some Hams that wanted the attention and turned that part over to them.? Our part went well and we all had a great time.?? My point in posting is that the need is still there.? Canine cancer has probably effected each and every one of us in this Breed.? I know that?everyone is strapped for cash right now, especially with the Nationals coming up.? But, if everyone on this List could donate $10-15, it would make a huge difference in helping to find a cure or maybe even a?cause.?? I apologize for this shameless plea, but I really feel that any medical condition that we can control or eliminate in our Breed is worth our attention and a few dollars.
