Eh Gads! It's June 25!!! Where did the time go! We must be having a blast at The Dog Club because time is flying by. We have committed a business faux- PAW. We didn't send our timely congrats to the Grads of 2007 and we didn't rightly honor our Doggie Dads!! Shame on us!

Sooooooooooooo, how about a special for Dads and Grads to let them know that they are very special to us!

Dads and Grads will get $5.00 off any self- service dog wash from June 25th thru July 25th!!
Dads and Grads may also take 10% off regularly priced doggie treats and 20% off regularly priced plush squeaky toys!

We may be tardy, but we like to give hearty specials! (y'know this cornball stuff just writes itself!!)
The Dog Club offers a very sincere congratulations to all the 2007 Graduates and a Happy Father's Day every day of the year to all you wonderful dads!

Special congratulations to Nick Dolder who just graduated from West Linn High! Nick has been working at The Dog Club since June, 2005. Nick plans to attend college in the fall. Best Wishes Nick!

Rocky Chase, manager for The Dog Club since our opening in January of 2004, has Left the Pack to pursue his dream and study Electrical Engineering at PSU. Rocky was attending school part time while working at The Dog Club. He now has the opportunity to finish his education in a more timely manner and is excited about going to school full time. Rocky will take classes this summer and go full speed ahead this fall.

Thank you for a job well done Rocky, and we wish you much success in your future.

The Dog Club of West Linn is pleased to introduce our new manager, Brianne Camacho. Raised on a farm in Overland Park, Kansas, Brianne graduated from the University of Kansas. Brianne has worked as manager for Ann Taylor and as a Visual Merchandiser for Gap, Inc. She has lived in Portland for five months, and when asked why she moved to the northwest, she replied, "Who wouldn't want to live in the northwest!" She likes Portland for it's size and small town feel.

Brianne brings her management and merchandising expertise to The Dog Club and says, "I'm looking forward to meeting you, your family and your fuzzy kids!"

On hot-or even warm-sunny days, the inside of a car heats up very quickly. On an 85 degree day, even with the windows slightly open, the temperature inside a car can reach 102 degrees in 10 minutes to 12 degrees in 30 minutes. On hot and humid days, the temperature in a car parked in direct sunlight can rise more than 30 degrees per minute and quickly become lethal. A dog can withstand a body temperature of 107 degrees for only a short time before suffering irreparable brain damage--or even death.

If your pet is overcome by heat exhaustion, immediately immerse or spray with cool running water and continue until the body temperature lowers, provide water to drink and consult with a veterinarian to determine if additional treatment is needed.

School's out and summer days are filled with many fun activities. If you are thinking of taking your pet with you, be mindful of your dog's activity and where your dog will be throughout the entire day. If you have a lot of errands to run, leave you pet at home or bring them to Doggie Day Care for air-conditioned fun! Have a fun and safe summer!
