Thanks to Kim Sporrer, media maven at Humane Society of Boulder Valley, a few newspapers have mentioned Never Shock a Puppy in articles about the humane society’s No-Choke Challenge. The most recent of which featured a mondo picture of me and Lilly. OMG.
Despite concerns it might be too much for her, we took Lilly with us to the awards event at Humane Society of Boulder Valley Thursday night. At times, she threw oh-hell-no looks at me. Other times, she smiled and even wagged. A few strategies helped Lilly cope in the crowd.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a funny voice-mail message from Kim Sporrer, who handles communication stuff for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley (where we adopted Lilly in October 2004). She asked me to call her and, in the meantime, to keep the evening of February 24 open. She was a little cryptic.
Thanks again to all of you who contributed money during our Never Shock a Puppy campaign last fall. The money raised by the entire coalition actively supports the Humane Society of Boulder Valley’s No-Choke Challenge, which launched January 15, 2011.
In week 7 of the 2010 Never Shock a Puppy dog blog campaign, we discuss whether or not snake aversion training is the one “acceptable” use of shock collars. Personally, my answer is no, but there are many people I like and respect who believe otherwise.
Since Lilly has survived TWO rattlesnake bites in TWO years, I like to think we know a bit about this particular subject.
It’s official. The girls of Champion of My Heart, along with several members of our blogging coalition, will launch our Be the Change effort on September 1. You can read all about it on our new microsite called … Never Shock a Puppy.
