The
first annual Copiah County Dog Show turned out to be
a truly fun event. We all had a good time at beautiful
Chautauqua Park, and the dog show was GREAT FUN! If
you missed it, we had 8 silly categories, some hilarious
entries and wonderful prizes. We had some terrific vendors,
all of whom want to be invited back again next year
(it will be in April).

Patrick Porter
did a wonderful job, as always, doing the live radio feed,
but he also served as a judge, helped us move things,
and more. We adopted out one dog, garnered a few new family
memberships, and sold merchandise.
Thanks to all
the volunteers who helped. It took a lot of folks a lot
of work to pull it off this year. but by next year, we'll
have a Copiah County BARL Event Committee to make it bigger
and better, and we'll do it when it's cooler.
If you missed
the event, you missed a great opportunity for an inexpensive
family event, filled with animal people with great spirit,
and an entertaining show in a gorgeous setting. Hope to
see you there next year.

A
Cat's Prayer |
I
ask for the privilege of not being born
...not to be born until you can assure me
a home and a master to protect me, and the
right to live as long as I am physically able
to enjoy life.
...not to be born until my body is
precious and men have ceased to exploit it
because it is cheap and plentiful.
