President s Message NEXT MEETING 7:30 PM, Monday, May 9,, 2011 A fantastically entertaining and stimulating Dancing Dogs Show was produced and performed by members of OCOD. It was shown to the general public and many members of our Club on the evening of April 20, at the Performing Arts Center of Ormond Beach. This show was an outstanding example of the love, understanding, and dedication our members have for our canine friends. I believe there could not have been a better example of OCOD's purpose than that exemplified by the pure pleasure received by the dogs, their owners, and the viewers when they accomplish a common goal together. It was obvious to the audience what can be done with their own pets if they would work together towards an understanding of their role in the family. The help in outlining this role highlights just one of the fundamental purposes of OCOD. Hope everyone has a good month, enjoys our Spring weather, and has fun with their pets!
