Another fun week coming up... Guppies to Puppies!

Now that Who's Your Hero camp week is over, I'm setting my sights on our Guppies to Puppies week -- the week of August 16 - 20.  During our classes that week, we invite students to bring in a pet to show to their class during the opening circle or closing circle (or lobby if it's a large animal). 

And during our camps, we arrange special guest animal visitors for each day.  In years past, we had visits from a one-legged cat, several snakes, bearded dragons, a pony and a horse.  Plus we've had visitors from several non-profits:

•  Project Pooch -- an organization that has successfully paired youths incarcerated at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn, Oregon, with homeless shelter dogs since 1993.
• PAWS - a non-profit cat adoption center in West Linn, Oregon. Their mission is to place as many homeless cats and kittens into loving, caring homes.
• Cat Adoption Team - the Pacific Northwest’s largest nonprofit, limited admission cat shelter.

The cat shelters are always a hit, especially when they bring young kittens and talk about caring for animals.  And we're hoping that Suzi from Project Pooch can make it back again.  She brings one of her dogs and shows some of the things that a highly trained dog can do. 

This year, we will have a visit by some hissing cockroaches. possibly some walking stick bugs; and we'll go next door to Cat Care Professionals and visit some cats staying at their B&B.

We're looking for other pet visitors that week. So if you have a pet you'd like to bring in to show off, we'd love to have you!  Call (503) 595-9702 and talk with Ron for arrangements.

Happy Handstands!
