Thanks for a great Zoom meeting about Teacup trials last night! We finalized the date for our December trial - Dec 21-22, 2024 with Karen Pelkey judging for us again! Watch her for the premium.

We'll be posting the 2025 dates shortly. We talked about up to 5 trials, and I'm taking a closer look at those dates to see if 5 trials will work for us. That's a huge jump from 2024!

Thanks again, and I appreciate all of your input and willingness to help make Teacup a great venue in the Pacific NW!

Two announcements!

First, we are planning a Teacup trial here Dec 28th & 29th with our wonderful friend and judge Karen Pelky joining us again. Put it on your calendars!

Second, but more important in many ways, we need to have more assistance in putting on these trials. We will not be able to continue to do this without additional hands. We need to do this together.

We are hosting a Zoom “Teacup Trials at Four Paw Planning Meeting” next Sunday, October 20th at 7 pm. If you would like to see more trials here, please attend! Message us for the Zoom link.

We will be letting you know what help is needed. There is so much that happens behind the scenes way before trial day, and after. On trial day, we need people to really step up and assist. The tasks aren’t hard, and they end up falling to the same people over and over.

This meeting will also discuss 2025 potential trial dates, and ask for commitments for help. I’m open to multiple trials!

If you’re brand new to Teacup or experienced, we’d love to have your input! Come learn and help us be in a position to host more Teacup trials.

We had a GREAT 4th of July Open House! Hopefully we wore out the dogs so the fireworks were a bit more tolerable, and everyone learned a bit about fun things to do with their dogs!

So glad to hear Seattle Veterinary Outreach is back on the road!!

🚑 🚑🚑 Rosie the Ambulance played a pivotal role as a founding member of Seattle Veterinary Outreach, serving as the mobile clinic during the program's initial phase and first 5 years. Unfortunately, with the extensive damage caused by the theft and vandalism, we decided it was time to bid farewell.

However, with incredible support from generous anonymous donors and overwhelming community solidarity, plus some good luck, we were able to purchase a new ambulance! This upgraded vehicle is larger, newer, and promises to deliver SVO's clinic operations for many years to come. We are immensely grateful for the outpouring of support received.

She does not have a name just yet...but stay tuned!
