A Post from Wiita
Hi Puppy Pals!!
This is my last month
for socializing with you all, so I'm inviting you to some "fun stuff"
in Kaysville. I know it's a long drive for some you, but if you can make it,
that would be great! If not, that's ok, too. I think my mom is planning a "Bon
Voyage" party at my last Puppy Class (10/30?). Anyway, here's some
socializations that we "can sink our teeth into" (JK, CCI!!!) during
the month of October:
Check out these events:
Canine Companions for Independence Volunteer Leadership Conference
This in from Marilyn K. on the Canine Companions for Independence Volunteer Leadership Conference 2013 - Please join her in August 2014....

In late August I
found myself attending the 2013 Volunteer Leadership Conference at Canine
Companions' National Headquarters in Santa Rosa, California. I am not a
"meeting person" at all, so to be attending a 2 1/2 day conference
was stepping way out of my comfort zone...BIG TIME. The trip was an early
birthday gift from my daughter and her family and although so thoughtful,
I was already having doubts about sitting for long stretches of
time, being bored out of mind. It's not that I didn't want to attend, I
just wanted to be there on my own terms. I wanted to see the campus, see dogs
and meet people I'd read posts from on e-mails and blogs. I wanted to
find "relatives" of the "W" litter (Jolee/Luca) and I
wanted to be with folks who loved dogs and this program as much as I
do. I wanted to share the excitement I get when picking up a new
puppy, doing an outreach presentation or filling out my monthly Progress
Report........okay, maybe not that last one. I guess I went to California to
see where I fit into this big jig-saw puzzle they call Canine Companions
for Independence.
