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.

Ready, Respond, Recover – presented by the Pacific County Economic Development Council October 14, 2009.  This conference will provide Pacific and Wahkiakum County businesses with emergency plan development and critical information about securing business facilities, communicating with customers and access to financial resources.  Call 360-875-9330 or 360-642-9330 to register or visit their site.  EDC

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 
to the Port of Ilwaco. The event will begin at 9 AM at the Bolstad 
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!

Porsche & Gabby

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.

And what would one of my posts be like without the latest cat pictures?  Gabby and Julie high on the wall between the dining room and entry.

A couple of things coming up at the beach:

The Inn at Harbour Village is hosting a free concert on Friday.  Friday March 13th.

And then…Saturday March 14 at 7:30pm.  Admission – Donation to charity.  For info & reservations phone (360)-642-2542  A triple celebration at the Historic Sou’Wester Lodge.   “ST. PATRICK’S DAY FOR THE CHRONOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED”- “PI DAY” & “EINSTEIN’S BIRTHDAY” featuring The Whateverly Brothers

If you’re wondering what the weather will be like, I can’t help you.  Today we’ve had snow, hail, rain, wind and sunshine.  Take your chances and come to the beach!  That’s all for today – not bad for a Monday!

Since I’m busy putting my site back together, lots of my cute cat photos have disappeared.  But I couldn’t resist sneaking this one in.  This is Julie asleep in the “condo”.
