One of the coldest I can remember. Good thing I didn t look at the temperature on the vehicle before we went to the staging area I would have turned around and waited in the Truck!!!! It was 19 degrees and who knows what the wind chill at the lake front would have been. The bands stayed in the buses only to come out right before the parade started. We had a wonderful turn out sorry it was too cold to take dog s and owner s names the ink froze in the pen. The Bloody Mary s helped with warmth while waiting for our members to arrive at the parking lot. Thank you Mike Los. Nancy Bertsch handed out bakery snacks to give us energy while people put on the costumes canine and human, Thank you to Nancy! Then the staging area the dogs wanted to sing but couldn t quite get the words down so they just howled. Finally the parade walk Thank you to our banner walkers and everyone that followed the people on the sidelines Enjoyed our group - Don t forget if you want to watch it on TV they televise it again early on Christmas Day. We all gathered at Nancy s house for warmth and of course Chili, Italian beef, snacks and drink. It was a great day hope you can join us next year. Contact DOT Dottie (414)

7 G.S.D.C.W. P.E.T.S. What is P.E.T.S.? Who can participate in P.E.T.S. events? Outlined below is a little history on the origin of P.E.T.S. at the GSDCW, along with general informational guidelines. P.E.T.S.: The club created P.E.T.S. (Promotion, Education, Therapy, Special events), in 1989 to help promote the German Shepherd Dog, the G.S.D.C.W., and to provide positive exposure in the community to help combat breed specific and anti-dog legislation laws. We accomplish this task in a number of different ways such as: Promotion: Parades are a great source for promoting the breed and the club. In the parades we march; we demonstrate obedience exercises and allow parade watchers to pet our dogs. Parades provide good positive exposure for the breed and the club. As a side benefit, we almost always have a small party afterwards for good socializing with club members. Education: Our goal is to educate the young. We accomplish this by visiting area schools and youth groups where we demonstrate how to train and care for a dog. Therapy: We visit area nursing homes and retirement centers putting on short obedience demonstrations, but more importantly our dogs and the residents get to interact. You can see the joy in the resident s eyes as they pet our dogs and tell us about pets they have had during their life. We try to provide a bright spot in the lives of the sick, the aged and the lonely. Special Events: We put on demonstrations at fairs and other events promoting positive information about the breed and the club. For instance, every year we have participated in the Waukesha Humane Animal Society annual Walk-a-Tron. Over the years we have donated $60,410 to this non-profit organization. Basically, we try to have fun, socialize our dogs and at the same time promote dogs in general and the G.S.D.C.W. Every member of the G.S.D.C.W. is welcome and encouraged to participate. Come as often or as little as you like. We announce upcoming events in the Tales along with posting notices in the clubhouse. Some general guidelines that need to be followed at any club activity. Dress: At any P.E.T.S event, you are representing the G.S.D.C.W. therefore shirts or jackets with club emblems are recommended. If you do not have any club apparel, we recommend clean conservative apparel. Ties and formal dresses are not necessary. Companion Apparel: A clean, well-groomed fur coat is required. Collars: We recommend a nylon or choke collar for dogs since a pinch or prong collar is not favorably viewed or understood by the general public. Leashes: Unless performing a particular obedience exercise, dogs must be kept on leash at all times. Temperament: Since P.E.T.S. is promoting the German Shepherd Dog and trying to combat breed specific and anti-dog legislation, only dogs of good sound temperament and stable behavior will be allowed to participate at a P.E.T.S. event. Remember, at all events you and your dog will be mingling with the general public. Both your behavior and your dog s is your responsibility. If you have questions or want more information, some key members of P.E.T.S. who provide answers and assist in the planning and execution of our events are Diane Stefonich, Camille Labinski, Paulette Gallatin, Cathy Los or Joe Ziino.
