Greetings!!  It's Sunday evening, and it's been an interesting weekend here at the shelter. 
    This weekend in Eureka Springs was the 66th Annual Ozarks Folk Festival, so there were lots of people in town.  Saturday was also "National Pit Bull Awareness" day.  Tanya Seabaugh, one of our board members, organized a booth downtown at Basin Spring Park, and with the help of some wonderful Good Shepherd members (Trella, Marie, Nan & Dave, and others), organized a group to walk shelter dogs in the Folk Festival Parade.  According to my sources, a fabulous time was had by all--including our dogs Bali, Paco, Trouble, Amber, Peaches, and Sandy.  For some of our dogs, this was a first for them.  Little Bali has been here at the shelter since she was 3 months old and had never been away from here in the year she's been with us.  Trella  and Marie both said she did terrific in the parade--her only problem was a wee bit of carsickness coming back to the shelter.  I am so thankful to all the folks who made the event on Saturday a success!  Tanya gave away lots of literature and information, and we collected donations for a raffle basket of dog goodies, so we even made a little money for the dogs.  If you're reading this and feeling really sad for missing all the fun, don't despair!  The Eureka Springs and Berryville Christmas parades are fast approaching, and we'll be looking for people who want to join us for all the fun!!!
  Another don't miss event is fast upon us--the 33rd Annual Doggie Style Show!  It's returning to the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center this year, and it's going to be bigger and better than ever!  Lots of fun things to see and do, lots of good shopping.  Get a head start (and save some dough) on your Christmas list and benefit the dogs and cats of Good Shepherd Humane Society.  Tickets are $12.00 in advance--$15.00 the day of the event, and tickets are available at either thrift store, the shelter, or on-line.  Don't miss out on the fun this year!! We're counting on you!!!!!
