Karen Kissler’s Kritter Treats Co.

Cats In Our Lives, Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Porsche the Boxer | Posted by Cheri Diehl

Karen is severely handicapped but loves dogs.  She, her care-givers and her wonderful job coach, Judy Jones of the Pacific County Health Department, make dog biscuits from oatmeal, dry milk, water, oil, chicken/beef/vegetable bullion.  They are packaged for sale with pull dates.  The recommended donation for a package is $1.00 and all the proceeds are donated to our local, community supported, no-kill animal shelter.

Today, March 26, Judy took the money they had collected and purchased dog food which was delivered to the shelter.  Judy also donates  the money for ingredients.

Look for these great dog treats in various businesses on the Long Beach Peninsula, including Discovery Coast Real Estate where you can find a home for you and your best friend(s)!  Don’t have a best friend?  There are several loving dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes at the South Pacific County Humane Society. Remember, the adoption fee for all the cats in the “Jungle Room” has been paid for by Discovery Coast Real Estate.

Do you own property at the beach that you’d like to sell but haven’t been able to?  Ever want to own a fishing boat?  Have I got a deal for you!    The owner of the Mariner would like to trade this beauty for partial payment on a vacation home here at the beach.    Contact me for more info.

One last note about something you might want to attend:

There will be a dedication on Saturday, September 19, in Long Beach to 
celebrate the completion of the Discovery Trail which runs from south

Beach Approach and will include a Chinook tribal blessing, ribbon 
cutting and a walk/run/bike along the trail.

That’s all for now, except for the requisite pet photo!

ANWG 2009 #weaving #spinning

Cats In Our Lives, Weaving & Spinning | Posted by Cheri Diehl

What a great time we had in Spokane! Cheri, Jill, Marty, Sharon, Lori, Ann & Sondra were able to travel to Gonzaga for the 2009 ANWG Conference. We attended several seminars, did lots of shopping and Cheri & Jill were able to stay for post-conference workshops.  Sondra planned an early morning surprise party for Marty’s “big” birthday and Marty treated everyone to a beer after dinner.  While our Guild Booth didn’t win any awards, we think it was one of the best!  Enjoy the photos.  They aren’t in any specific order.  If you put the cursor on them, they’ll give you a title.

So, what will it take…

Cats In Our Lives, Everything!, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

to get buyers off their keesters and start buying property?  First time homebuyers can qualify for a number of great deals, including a tax break:   http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=204672,00.html.  How about the new FHA mortgage amounts?  Want to see how much your county allows?  https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm Thanks to Steve Valenta and Dave Kilkenny of Alpine Mortgage for this info.

Saturday night was Rotary’s Oysters and Art – what great food! Rotary works hard and really devotes a lot of time to their projects.  I’m glad I was able to attend, even though I didn’t manage to score anything at the silent auction.
