Comments:cody & carl?s blvd. , the premiere pet boutique and portrait studio known for its unique pet events, host its 3rd annual Canine Wedding to benefit Animal House Shelter on Saturday, June 28. The free event is a must for all dog park socialites in the Chicagoland-area!

On June 28, Hope will strut down the aisle in a white hand-beaded wedding gown by Pooch Outfitters. The barking bride will be escorted by a formally dressed canine wedding party. In attendance, Pup-ushers with white tuxedos and red bow ties while the Pup-Maids dressed in red gowns all from Doggie Design. Ballerinas from the Barrington Dance Academy will serve as the flower girls and of course we?ll have a canine ring bearer!
?Always expect something over the top from us when it comes to celebrating our canine kids,? said Jennifer Schoonmaker, owner of cody & carl?s blvd. ?We don?t take ourselves too seriously but instead consider this event a celebration for the endless work of Animal House Shelter and similar organizations that help save animals to make this world a better place!?

? Animal House Shelter adoption day
? Special guest appearances including ?Cubby,? the signing dog

Comments:We are hosting two exciting events here in September that I think might interest you, or a friend.
On September 22, 2007:
The Pet Tech PetSaverTM class. This is a comprehensive Pet First Aid & CPR class open to any interested individual.
Go to http://www.pettech.net/programs.html to read more about the PetSaverTM class.
To enroll in the 8 hour PetSaverTM class that we are hosting, please contact me at tammie@darnfar.com Early enrollment results in a $20 discount on the class.
The owner (and main Instructor) of Pet Tech has lots of credentials in this field (see http://www.pettech.net/human_firstaid.html), and has formed the first company to share First Aid and CPR knowledge to the pet owning public and professionals in pet businesses.
Our event in September will probably be the closest PetSaver class to the Chicagoland area in 2007.
On September 22-24, 2007:
Three Day Pet Tech Instructor Training Class
This three day course prepares the student to become an Instructor for the Pet Tech PetSaverTM class (listed above). It includes the first day of the PetSaver class, plus two additional days of instruction.
Ideal candidates for the Instructor Class include: obedience trainers, kennel operators, pet retailers, pet sitters, veterinarian staff, animal shelter employees, pet rescue personnel, pet groomers, EMT's, fire fighters, and any pet lover who would find it rewarding to teach this subject matter to others.
To read more about the Three Day Instructors course you can go to http://www.pettech.net/tammier_1269.html. The class is limited to 20 participants.
The reason that I am sending this announcement out so early is because you can earn a huge savings on enrollment in the Instructors class if you enroll by mid-February, stating that I referred you.
To receive the discount you may contact me or go to http://www.pettech.net/tammier_1269.html and click on any of the links to "Sign Up". That

Comments:Dogs Deserve Better (www.dogsdeservebetter.org) is a non-profit organization working to raise awareness of the plight of chained and tethered dogs. These dogs quickly become victims of neglect and abuse and can also become a risk to the community. A high percentage of chained animals are neglected, this neglect can include; lack of food, water and shelter, no medical care, training and/or human interaction. Having a chained dog also leads to higher incidents of avoidable injury, especially to neighborhood children or pets that may wander into the area where a dog is chained. DDB offers information and assistance to people with chained dogs in the form of education and in addition offers to help with resources to put up fencing for the dog, training and re-homing, if necessary.
The purpose of our yearly Chain Off event is to improve the relationship our community has with its pets through education, awareness, opportunity and fun. In addition to DDB representatives who will educate the public and promote the goals of the Dogs Deserve Better group we will have demonstrations, information, raffles, contests and prizes:
Vendors will include veterinarians, pet stores, groomers, local artists, dog trainers, shelters, non-profit organizations, local businesses and of course all sorts of cool pet products.
Provide information and resources for alternative outdoor pet care, such as fencing. Dog Masseuse will be on site all day.
Demos to run every hour will include; Pet First Aid, Healing touch and essential oil, Canine Massage and Canine Basic training.
Representatives chained to doghouses during the event to illustrate the plight of these neglected animals.
