Nutro's 2012 Room-to-Run Dog Park Appreciation Project

Pepper's Paws recently joined the Nutro Knowledge Network.  We are very excited to be part of such a wonderful group.  As a member of the network, we learned about a Pawsome Project from Nutro to help spiff up dog parks!  It is the Nutro Room-to-Run Dog Park Appreciation Project   
2012 is the third year Nutro sponsors improvements in dog parks across the United States.  This year Nutro has partnered with country music singer Sara Evans.    They will be awarding grants of $2000 to 30 non-profit dog parks and off-leash areas in the United States.  The application period is from June 13, 2012 until September 30, 2012. 

Dog parks can use the grant money for improvements such as landscaping, poop bag stations (my favorite! BOL!), agility equipment, general maintence, and other improvements needed or desired by the dog park.   There is more information in the official press release  

Here are more links for the application process and information if you'd like to apply for your local dog park to win an improvement grant! 

Pawsonally I think all dog parks should have a separate small dog area for safety reasons.  If your dog park does not have a separate small dog area, please, please, please apply for a grant to create one!

Mom thinks some parks could use more signs reminding owners to scoop the poop!  BOL!!  
Sanitary watering stations are another useful improvement.



Are you getting ideas for ways to fix up your local dog park?
What improvements would you like to see?

Please tell you local dog park managers about the Nutro Room-to-Run grants!

Kol's K9 Kamp - Final Challenge - Kamper's Choice

Well, this week was the final week at Kol's K9 Kamp  We were supposed to come up with our own fun ways to get exercise.  Unfortunately, I was unable to fully participate in this challenge.  I lost weight this week, but not from exercise.  I developed stress induced colitis after 2 solid days of rain and thunderstorms.  Mom and I have spent the week running back and forth to my vet's office.   Mom has probably lost weight also, from worrying about me.   I think Kolchak will understand and excuse me for not exercising the last week of K9 Kamp.

Kol's K9 Kamp - Challenge #3 - Just One Doggone Minute To Win It

This week at Kol's K9 Kamp the challenge was to use those little chunks of time that seem wasted.  Like when you're waiting on one tv show to finish before the one you actually want to watch begins.  BOL!!  I am good at this!  I am always ready for a quick game with a squeakie! 

I really had fun with my Angry Bird toy this week.  Okay, it isn't exactly a squeakie.

Troff Pouch - Product Review

Are you thirsty?

Great literature

It is very important for us to stay hydrated!  I recently received some pawsome water pouches from Troff!  They also sent me some literature about hydration!   Hydration is more important than many of us realize.
