WE are Going PaperlessThis last month we decided to go paperless. For
14 years, you all received a self-address envelope
and a note saying your dog’s social membershipis due. Some of us are still “Dinosaurs” and had
to be convinced to go on-line but we did create aRex is special to many of us as we donatedgenerously to fund him. He sits stately in the backof the Veterans’ Plaza. We have seen kids petting
him and kissing him and it just goes to show thatdogs affect us all. Since Rex did cost $8,500 anddepleted all of our cash and reserves, we still areaccepting donations (your name goes on thewebsite), as we are still cash poor.

Pet Insurance?
McDonald McGarry Insurance Company, a longtime park supporter provided us with some
information from Hartville Pet Insurance. We know
many folks that have insurance and find it
wonderful for their pets, especially if you treat your
pet as a family member. There are many
companies and levels of coverage and deductibles
just like normal insurance.
There is also preventative coverage which can beas little as $9.95 a month and that might include
dental cleaning, wellness exams, heartworm test,
vaccinations and more. So, it you would like tolook into it more, the company is that small houseright by the library on main street.
