Dog Project Meetings Hello everyone! Since everyone is so busy this summer, why don’t we hold off on 4-H Dog meetings until the Sunday, August 25 meeting? I’d still like to go ahead with the Fun Match on Sep-tember 8, because, after all, it’s for FUN, and it should give everyone a good incentive to get back in the swing of things, and help them to focus on what they need to work on.
If anyone wants any help with their dogs over the next couple months, just reach out to me (Vickie), and I’d be glad to fit something in.
