Charity my Batador wants to wish everyone a Happy Halloween and she has a few tips for all her dog friends:
1. don't eat the candy, you will get very sick
2. stay inside, the humans look and act very crazy
3. find a nice quiet spot in the house, don't go near the door
4. if they put a costume on you look miserable so they take it off as soon as they get their "adorable" pictures

EXCITING NEWS from Beacon Hill - the Puppy Mill Bill is on the move!

S. 2820, An Act banning the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in new pet shops, was released favorably last week from the Massachusetts legislature’s Environment and Natural Resources Committee (ENR)! This marks the first time a version of this bill has been given the green light to advance. This legislation would prohibit the sale of puppies, kittens, and rabbits in new pet shops unless the animals come from shelters or rescue organizations. Thank you to advocates who called, emailed, and met with their legislators in favor of this bill!

We also want to thank bill sponsors State Senator Patrick O'Connor, State Representative Natalie Higgins, Representative Kimberly Ferguson, and ENR Committee Chairs Senator Becca Rausch and Rep. Dan Cahill for their advocacy and helping move this legislation! The bill now moves to Senate Ways and Means. You can help by asking your State Senator to reach out to Senate Ways and Means Chair Michael Rodrigues to ask that he please bring S. 2820 to the Senate floor for debate. See who represents you here: https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator

Yesterday was quite a day at the Cummington MA Fairgrounds! Our NACSW Elite trial (hosted by Lucky Dogs Events). Was a big success for Nandi and I and our fellow Berkshire Sniffers. Nandi and I took First Place with a perfect score of 100. We found all 19 hides. And we also got Pronounced. That means that both judges felt or teamwork was outstanding in all four of our search areas! Not only that but Adrienne and Diego earned their Elite Championship and Tammy and Cedar earned their Elite 3 title. Thanks to Kim Lewis, our CO Maria, judges and all the volunteers for making this a memorable day for us all. And of course special thanks to Peg Munves our fearless leader.

Yesterday Nandi successfully passed her Bright Spot Therapy Dogs evaluation in Northampton MA. She did great at the facility, navigating wheelchairs, walkers, beds and carts with ease. Even had one woman sing a song just for her, she listened and wagged the whole time. As soon as all the paperwork is complete she and I will be able to do visits.

So very proud to say that Nandi and I took First Place at the Fishkill, NY Elite trial this past Saturday at Camp Hidden Valley. We also earned our Elite 2 title and had a second place in one of the search areas. She worked very hard in some challenging searches, especially in the morning. Many thanks to TopNotch staff and all the volunteers that made this a special day. (For those of you who may not know, the little tin in the picture holds all the Q-tips that were hidden for the day. The winner gets to keep them :-))
