The Prez Sez…
at the recent COKC shows, and he will be a
delight for us to hear. See you then!
What a great picnic! The weather could not
have been better! Great burgers and hot dogs
expertly cooked by Pam and Morey! And all
those great side dishes and desserts provided by
the rest of the members!
AEK
Lisa Schneider came for her farewell meeting
with a promise to keep in touch. We all will
miss her and wish her great success in her new
adventures. And a wonderful couple came,
Chris and Amy Scott, with their wonderfully
behaved Dobermans who had great fun playing
with our mascot, Nelson. And Jaime Landrum
owes us a rum cake! More on that later!
Our next meeting will feature a speaker, Ric
Bir, from Mad River Pet Foods, who will speak
about the problems with dog food recalls. I had
the wonderful experience of visiting with him

SUMMER TRAVEL REMINDER
When traveling with your Doberman in the car,
it's important to remember the following:
Use Proper Restraint: In the case of an
accident, a dog can weigh up to 30 times its
weight upon impact while traveling at 35 mph.
Today, many companies create seatbelt systems
in addition to crates to keep animals safely
secured while on the road.
ventilation. Many states are passing laws that
prohibit leaving your pet alone in your
vehicle.
Bring Water: Car travel can make your pets
feel anxious and result in nervous panting. Be
sure to take frequent breaks during your trip to
allow your pet the opportunity to re-hydrate.
