It's Time!

                          

I’m getting really excited about the “Wagging Tails and Happy Trails” event this Saturday at Cheaha State Park! And there are a number of reasons why.

The first is that this is my first book signing in over a year. I love meeting and talking to all of you and sharing stories from the trail. It’s always a blast.

Of course, it is the official launch of my new book, “Best Dog Hikes Alabama”.

But more importantly, it’s a chance to help a great pet rescue in Clay County, the Clay County Animal Shelter (CCAS).

The staff at CCAS do amazing work taking in rescues, housing them, providing medical attention, and feeding them. The Wagging Tails event Saturday is only a small way that I can give back. I will be donating a portion of the proceeds from all book sales during the event to the shelter – so come on out and buy a copy, or two, for yourself and friends.

CCAS will also have rescues there ready for adoption. I hope that you will find it in your heart to adopt one and give them a happy home. As of right now, the plan is that you can take the rescue of your choice on a short hike with a staff member right there to bond a little.

Of course, we understand that many people can’t adopt a new pet. That’s ok. Please consider making a donation to the shelter while you’re there. Your donations help them keep up the great work.

But the day isn’t only for adoptions and celebrating the new book. It is also for those of you who already own dogs as well. We have some great presentations lined up throughout the morning including training and obedience with the staff of the Comb and Collar, and Shannon and Brandy with the Animal Medical Center in Anniston who will tell us about canine vaccinations and preventative medications, dog park etiquette, and getting your dog in shape and ready for hiking.

Oh, and there will be snacks and drinks as well.

I hope to see all of you THIS SATURDAY, March 30^th, at Cheaha State Park from 10am to 2pm!!
