I’m still accepting (not that I’ll reject anybody) people to participate on the fan donation for Guide Dog in name of Nicollette. Join us! It’s a great cause and we can make Nicollette proud of her fans. I only ask for $5, that’s so little for one person but can do much. E-mail me if you’re interested.

See you all next week

You’ll learn how a guide dog is raised, how they learn to help visually impaired people and facts like 1 of 20 people is blind in the United States but only a small percentage of them have the help of a guide dog. If you weren’t sure to donate before, I’m sure you will after you listen Rick talk to Kim Laidlaw from Guide Dogs of the Desert; Shirley, a puppy raiser; and Natalie Malaszenko from PETCO. You will also listen Nicollette & Dick Van Patten’s public service announcement for the campaign. Definitely worth listening.

Remember I have a campaign going on to raise funds for Guide Dog Month in Nicollette’s behalf. If we raise enough money, it will be donated to Natural Balance Pet Food in name of Nicollette. Let’s show the world how generous her fans are! I only ask for $5 for everyone of you, that’s not much but can make a real difference. Sadly, I can’t do it on my own, but if the campaign does not work out, I’m definitely donating myself, which I hope you all do as well.

Saturday night brings new meaning to Dodger dogs

The event sold out with 500dogs packing the right-field pavilion, having just as much right to sit there since their owners paid $25 per all-you-can-eat ticket for them, too. German shepherds and dachshunds and poodles and shaking Chihuahuas were invited guests for one game.

(…)

Saturday was the first time the Dodgers hosted “Bark in the Park” an event in which fans brought their dogs to the game, provided they had updated records of shots. This was all unbeknownst to that security guard.

The event went off with plenty of barks, licks and accidents on the warning track, but it was quite an event, especially since some of the proceeds were being donated by the Dodgers to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers partnered with Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance Pet Foods and Tillman the skateboarding bulldog.

They did the event with the Mets in New York and the Rangers in Texas, too.

“We’re certainly planning on doing it again,” Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch said. “Nothing happened that would make us not do it again. It was well-received by fans. It attracted a lot of media. It was a fun story. Enough people said, `I’ve always wanted you guys to do this.”‘

(…)

Nicollette Sheridan, who starred on “Desperate Housewives,” cooed while she fed her dog, Oliver, a Dodger dog. The Dodgers hit four home runs, and Oliver – a 5-year-old Golden retriever – calmly sat in the row behind while Sheridan stood and cheered.

“We should’ve had Bark in the Park at the beginning of the season,” Sheridan said, laughing.

Remember I’m raising funds to donate to Natural Balance in name of Nicollette. If at least 10 of us would give only $5, we could make it happen. Every dollar counts!

Natural Balance Pet Foods® is proud to once again announce that September is National Guide Dog Month.

Nicollette Sheridan has teamed up with Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance®, Petco® and Independent Pet Stores to help raise $1 Million to Train Guide Dogs for the Visually Impaired.

Did you know that there are 1.3 million blind people in the USA? Every 7 minutes someone in America becomes blind or visually impaired.

Guide Dogs improve the lives of the blind by creating opportunities for life-changing independence, and through community outreach and education programs. Guide Dogs provide safe mobility, loving companionship and the “miracle of independence” to the blind through the use of a guide dog.

All pets bring a special kind of joy to their human companions, but Guide Dogs can really make a difference in a person’s life by providing mobility and independence to someone who cannot see.

100% of proceeds from these National Guide Dog Month activities will be donated to accredited guide dog training facilities across the country, as defined by the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF). Recipients will include:

Guide Dogs for the Blind Inc. (Oregon)
Guide Dogs for the Blind Inc. (California)
Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind
Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind Inc.
Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation
The Seeing Eye
Guide Dogs of Texas
Guide Dogs of the Desert
Guiding Eyes for the Blind
Leader Dogs for the Blind
Southeastern Guide Dogs, Inc.

So far I only need to know who is willing to participate. Once I know there are enough people interested, I will contact the people in charge to ask how it could be done, as a group of fans and from outside the States. E-mail me to caro@nicollette-sheridan.net or nicollettenetwork@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you when I have all the details to donate.

I know this might be a bad moment for almost everybody (including myself) to give money, but I couldn’t let go this oportunity. I think Nicollette would be happy to know we, as fans, support her and the causes she believes in.

Here’s how you can collaborate in an particular way to the campaign.
