<DIV><FONT size=4 face="Century Gothic">CALGARY WADDLE SEPT 26TH AT LYNNWOOD
PARK 12:00 NOON</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Just a reminder e-mail that we have the Waddle at Lynnwood Park this
Saturday starting at noon. A map of the park is on the website under
the 'Annual Waddle' tab; we'll be at the south side of the park. It has
been suggested to me that 69th Ave will be the best place to park as the
crescent itself is very busy; the park lines the Avenue on 1 side, so it's easy
to get to from there. There'll be signs up as usual directing you to the
exact spot.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As you get to the event, there'll be a registration desk where you can let
us know you've arrived and we'll be taking your hound's measurements and
other details for the contests later on. A new addition to the contest is
'Naughtiest Basset' - for any of you with long-eared little devils come ready to
tell us about your hound's worst misdeed of the year... the hound with the best
(or worst, depending on your take!) will get the Naughtiest Hound
rosette. The other contests your hounds will be competing in are:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Youngest Hound*</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">The Miss Becky Award for Oldest Hound*</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Longest Ears*</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Shortest Ears*</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Largest Wingspan (from tip of left ear to tip of right
ear)*</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Low Rider*</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Loudest Hound</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Best Trick</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Speediest Hound</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"> </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">The starred events you don't need to register your
pooch(es) for, as it will be automatically done as you register. if you'd
like to have them compete in the Howling contest, best trick contest, or basset
sprint, or naughtiest hound just let the person registering you know so we can
make sure every hound that wants to gets to join in.</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"> </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">There will be a BBQ with burgers and hotdogs available,
and also drinks available for purchase as well as the usual raffle - so bring
your spare change! All proceeds of the Waddle go towards helping
hounds in need throughout the year and lets us continue to take bassets out of
bad situations and find them loving Forever Homes! For some of our recent
successful placements take a look at the 'Forever Homes' tab on the website;
it's been an interesting month with several owner relinquishes plus the 4
hounds we brought up from Kentucky, and we wouldn't be able to help any of
the hounds we did without the support of the basset community here in
Calgary.</DIV>
