City Bark - 1st Anniversary Celebration ~ this Sunday
FIRST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: Can you believe that NOLA City Bark will be 1 year old (or would that be 7 years old?) on March 27? Come join us for a birthday celebration on Sunday March 27 from 9am-2pm! This party is free for all dog park members, both 2-legged and 4-legged. There will be food, birthday cake, drinks, agility, photographs of you and your pooch, obedience demonstrations, and doggie themed music. Veterinarians and behaviorists will be on hand to answer your health & behavior questions. We will be selling NOLA City Bark t-shirts and dog park permits and renewals.
Please bring new or gently used towels to donate. We will use them at Shampooch (see upcoming events this newsletter) on April 2 and then wash them and donate them to the LA-SPCA.
Dog Day Afternoon ~ this Sunday ~ March 27th
As you may know, every year we have a "cookies & cocktail" (private party) at Dog Day Afternoon. This year I decided to use the $1,000.00 we budget for the event and donate that to World Vets to help with disaster relief in Japan. I think it is the right thing to do... My babies and I are still going to be going to Dog Day Afternoon and are going to go to City Bark to visit our friends and celebrate the 1st Anniversary. We hope to see you there! If you go out to either... text me! 504.289.6355...would love to see everyone!

| Want to help out on the front lines, helping abused and neglected animals in Louisiana? Let the pros teach you the basics, at the Humane Society of Louisiana's upcoming Cruelty Investigations Workshop. We've offered training courses for humane investigators and law enforcement professionals for more than 20 years. HSL is also the state's only licensed 'pet detective' agency; we rely on the services of trained volunteer investigators to respond to and/or assist with animal abuse and neglect complaints statewide. Not sure if you want to become an investigator? Come learn more about what's involved. The course covers information about the state's animal protection laws and their enforcement, which is useful to anyone interested in animal protection. Participants will review the local and state animal cruelty laws and how to use them in aiding animals in distress. Field investigation practices, report writing, crime scene documentation and court room presentation will also be reviewed. The course runs 11-3:30 with a 1 hour break for lunch/networking with likeminded people. Light refreshments only provided. $10 donation appreciated to help cover costs. | |
I got stuck behind this guy for 2 blocks...
I wanted to ram my head into the steering wheel but decided to calm down and enjoy that they are enjoying our neighborhood...

* DOG DAY AFTERNOON: Also on Sunday March 27 is the LA-SPCA's Dog Day Afternoon to be held on Roosevelt Mall in City Park just acros the railroad tracks from the dog park. Stop by the dog park for free coffee & pastries and then walk over to Roosevelt Mall and join the walk at 11:00 AM in support of teh shelter. Go to www.la-spca.org and click on events to access the event calendar and learn more about Dog Day and all the LA-SPCA events. Many of our permit holders have rescue dogs from the LA-SPCA and surrounding shelters and understand the importance of supporting animal welfare organizations-please make an effort to support this important event.
NEW SOIL AND TURF FOR HILL: The dog park will be temporarilyclosed all day on Tuesday March 29 and Wednesday March 30 to spread new soil and install turf on the long, bare hill just inside the main gate. This is the time of year to do this so the grass can take advantage of the spring growing season. Volunteers will then fence off that area until the grass has had a chance to establish itself. In the event of rain or other complications, we will let you know by email if this date changes or if the closure needs to be extended.
PERMIT RENEWALS: Please visit the websit, www.nolacitybark.org for permit renewal information.
SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, AUGUST 20
NOLA City Bark will host its second 101 Donations fundraiser at the Pavilion of Two Sisters in City Park. This gala event will include food, drinks, live music, and a fantastic auction. Our goal is to raise $60,000 to be used for the installation of lights, irrigation and to repay City Park for funds advanced to complete the dog park. Our adorable Dalmatian wooden cut-out dogs will once again be for sale in April and will be hung on the fence to show that you have supported NOLA City Bark. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend and contribute to this fundraiser. If you would like to help with a committee - auction, food, decorating, etc. - contact us at info@nolacitybark.org.
Update
It is my understanding (via a phone message from a Blog reader) that these two sweet babies have found a home!
