Hello fellow dog folks, Please if you have a moment, vote for Nemo, this is a wonderful opportunity for dog lovers to try to win money for a great organization here in CA.  This really only take 3 seconds to vote, follow the first link, and Nemo's page is right there, you enter your name and email and that's it!  Thank you. ~Kari

Ooh and if you are a hater, please just keep your comments to yourself, I do not intend this to be a negative discussion.

This came from my list of PetPac supporters here in CA.  Feel free to forward along to any of your friends and other dog lovers.

  * * * * * PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST WIDELY * * * * * 

 Hi Fellow PetPac members. My dog Nemo has been entered into the Bissell Company's MVP contest (Most Valuable Pet). The grand prize is $10,000 donated to a pet cause of the winner's choice. Mr. Nemo was an important part in our lobbying efforts against AB1634 so of course if he wins, the prize will be donated to PetPac. We have an opportunity here to raise people's awareness of PetPac's mission and hopefully garner some financial support as well.  This contest is a symbolic reminder, especially in this particular year, about the importance of one vote.
     We affect change in our country through the political process. We do that not only by voting but by coming together as communities of like minded interests. PetPac is one such community - for the first time - a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting the rights of animals and their owners. For too long we were complacent, thinking pets were too popular and the animal rights groups could not possible get a foothold. We have learned and are learning more every day that we were wrong - that while we stuck our head in the sand, the AR interests in this country were gathering strength, money and most importantly political savy. On PetPac's Blog page back in July, I wrote a piece called Keeping Our Voices Heard, which I ask you to read again since it is as important today as then. In that I urged us all to "start with one simple thing". We have a way today to start with that one simple thing. I ask you to place a symbolic vote by voting for Nemo in the Bissell contest. Let us tell the whole country that ALL of our pets are MVP's and finally, they and we have a voice to protect our rights.
     Please go to this link http://www.bissell.com/redirect.asp?page_id=47201&Pet=1109 and enter your vote for Nemo and PetPac. Please vote now as voting is only open until April 22nd. If the link above does not work you can go to this page http://www.bissell.com/Page_id/47200/Locating_a_Specific_Pet.aspx  then select the letter N and click on the photo of Nemo Schafer Meister ( should be 5th photo down on the right).
     Please pass on this message to as many folks as you can. If you do not want to copy and paste it, you can simply direct them to PetPac's blog where it has been posted as a diary entry. See http://blog.petpac.net/blog/story/2008/4/16/214616/771  .
     Nemo and I thank you for your support and look forward to working with all of you in the future in support of our rights and freedoms.

What does petpac do for pet owners?    Maybe someone could educate me, I've never heard anything about this.

I'm not from California.

PetPac was created out of the AB1634 mess here in CA last year.  Here is the website

www.petpac.net

We are trying to protect the rights of pet owners and their right to make their own decisions regarding their pets.

Thanks for the help, Beth did send me a note and said we were both on this list   she said to distribute WIDELY so I did! ~Kari

OOh and this is BIGGER than just CA.  If something like ab1634 passes in CA, other states will use this to contaminate other states throughout the US as well.

I believe one of the east coast states took the verbage almost directly from the CA bill and implemented similar legislation last year!

Anyhow, not wanting to beat this up right now, check out the website, its a good cause!  Plus Nemo is a cute little dog!! ~Kari

I read some of it...   Sounds like communist china.   You couldn't pay me to live in California.

CA does have its ups and downs that is for sure.  But I love the west coast, and there endless opportunities here in CA that there are not in other states such as OR, my home state.

Besides that we have A LOT of Schutzhund clubs here in CA!  All within 2 hours drive pretty much, and there are some really great clubs too
