APRIL BEGINS 2007

MID  APRIL 2007

HAPPY EASTER!!!!


It doesn't feel like Easter week here in Michigan on April 4, 2007!
Today we have BLOWING SNOW and 29 degrees at 4:30 pm ... 25 degrees at 7:30pm!
The daffodils and tulips are chattering in the cold! It's just NOT right :(
Weather Update - April 5 - 10:30 am ... 24 degrees - light dusting of snow!
Daffodils and tulips now wilted, tucked under and frozen ... a far cry from the 80s we enjoyed a week ago!
April 6 *** 18 degrees at 8:30 AM!  April 7 *** Light dusting of snow!  *** Easter Sunday ... 26 degrees at 12:00 PM!
It looks hopeless for the daffodils and tulips!


Hezké prožití velikonoc přejí všichni od Diamantové řeky.

                  

     ANIMAL RIGHTS WATCH!!!!!!!  CALIFORNIA Breeders,
Your rights to own and breed dogs are under attack! California Assembly
Bill 1634 will require that any dog or cat over the age of four months
be spayed or neutered unless the owner qualifies for and obtains an
intact animal permit. The permit qualifications are onerous and there is
no real limit as to what a local jurisdiction might charge for this
permit. To read about this proposal in detail and how you can assist in
fighting this draconian legislation please read our legislative alert
at:
http://www.akc.org/canine_legislation/CA_action_center.cfm
We need everyone's help to defeat AB 1634!!! Sincerely,
The Canine Legislation Department, American Kennel Club
