Anyone going to Awareness Day?
Just wondering if anyone is planning on going to Puppy Mill awareness day this Saturday 9-19 at Intercourse Community Park? I'm planning on going with my 3 westies as I really want to hear Victoria speak. I believe she's slotted from 2:30-3.

Awareness Day and Woofstock
I will probably go there but I'm definitely planning to go to Woofstock on Sunday. I've been able to do wonders with Mahlee and I plan to take her with me. Paul&Muttley also plan to be there. He told me I should let the forum members know, because he cannot post here anymore. If you want to email him his address is [email protected]. I'm looking forward to meeting Victoria and also helping to expose and eventually eliminate the nasty puppy mills. Maybe Mahlee can be a poster dog!

What a great turn out at Puppy Mill Awareness Day. Lots of different rescue groups, & lots of dogs of course. Victoria's speech was brillant of course. I loved the comment she made regarding the "religious" and how could people who proclaim to be Christian treat dogs so unethically. (in so many words) Lancaster is a hot spot for puppy mills and most of the mills are run by the Amish. Strict Christian folks that live a simple life without electricity and modern conveniences for those that don't know. She also spoke on the movement to ban puppy mills around the world and how it's become a global issue.
I also got to meet Victoria and have her authograph her book. Absolutely a lovely lady! She even wished my Daisy a happy birthday!
All in all it was a beautiful day, lovely views of the country side and the community learned about the unethical treatment of dogs in mills. My 3 westies and I were exhausted when we got home.
I know she's at Woofstock today in Harrisburg. I'm sure that turn out will be phenominal as well. Thanks to Victoria & everyone that has worked to put these events together to spread the word.

No, that's not me in the facebook picture. Although I did get a similiar picture I'll post it later on.
Cookielover96 I actually spoke to her briefly about this forum and commented on how much I've learned from everyone here. I didn't want to take up too much of her time as she was being pulled in so many different directions.
