[Barefoot]

We attended a meeting of the RDO Club Tuesday night and it was extremely interesting. Even though I've owned animals all my life, I learned some new stuff.

The new Dog Park at the Springdale Walking Trail looks like a certainty. It will have two fenced areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs.

There was a Vet at the meeting who described her new Mobile Vet Service. She is affiliated with Country Oaks. She seems like a really nice person and we were able to see her Mobile Van. She will come to your home and even do surgery in the Van, spaying, neutering, etc. I think it is a perfect service for many people including those with multiple pets, fearful dogs, or homebound people.

There was a speaker from a pet-food store. She described the ingredients in some popular pet foods and what they really mean. I was horrified. I came home and threw out all the pet food with by-products in it. (I don't even want to explain how by-products are obtained, it would make you sick). I have some samples of food to try, and the ingredients are much, much healthier.
