Thanks to freedom44 for the heads up to the reading program article, which was my previous ping to y'all.

I'm going to take it my local elementary school and Pre-K to see if we can get a similar program started. There have got to be enough well-behaved pups in Slapout so that the duties could be shared.

For those of us (such as myself) who do not have the time to take this on singularly in our local areas, perhaps you know people who could help get it started in your home town. Retired grandparents and/or teachers seem to pop to mind immediately!

Only one more ping for today! I promise not to do this to y'all often, but they say the third time is the charm, so here goes...'-0)

I'm helping some great FReepers put together Christmas and Hanukkah for our brave troops in Iraq. I'd appreciate it so much, as would our troops, if y'all could type up an email holiday greeting message from you and/or your family, which I could print out and include in my package to Iraq.

An expression of well wishes and support for these young people, who are so far from home and sacrificing so much for us, would be an easy and very meaningful way to kick off your holiday season; especially if you include the kids or grandkids.

Please do not put photos in your message (line drawing is fine) AND I need your messages by tomorrow noon, latest. Sorry! We have to post our packages right away.

Please FReepmail me to get my email address if you would like to do this for our wonderful young men and women in the military.

I am very grateful to all who participate. You're fantastic!

Ping me please. Besides being a mom to a Caucasian Ovcharka, Brucey, I'm also a dog groomer. You guys are all job security for me! LOL!
