WELL-MANNERED DOG FOR THE NEW YEAR! Would you appreciate a dog who sat at the front door and greeted your friends, or maybe a dog who walked by your side with a slack leash and followed your commands? Or perhaps a dog who SAT and waited at mealtime or went in and out of doors with great self-control.
Pre-purchase 2 private lessons in Pine Grove before the end of January and get a third lesson FREE! There's no expiration date on when you need to use the 3 lessons.
Contact me by email trainer@dog-b-good.com or phone 209-304-5139.
Once you've contacted me and we've determined that I can be of help to you, you can mail your $99 payment to Our Furry Friends, P.O Box 97, Pine Grove 95665. If you'd rather have in-home lessons instead of coming to Pine Grove, I'll let you know what it would add on to the $99 depending on where you live.
Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

MINER’S BEND COMMEMORATIVE BRICK PATHWAY - PERSONALIZED BRICKS AVAILABLE -The Sutter Creek Community Benefit Foundation invites you to participate in Sutter Creek’s new Miners’ Bend Historic Gold Mining Park by buying a personalized  engraved brick in the Commemorative Pathway. You and your family will not only provide financial support to the Foundation and help finish this park, but you will cement your place in Amador County’s gold mining history forever.
 The work at Miners' Bend Park at the South end of Sutter Creek continues. By now you have probably noticed all the mining artifacts that have been placed at the South end of Main Street.  Sutter Creek Community Benefit Foundation has been working hard to make this historical project a reality and now are building a brick walkway that you can be a part of.
 The SCCBF’s goal for completion of this park is early next summer, 2016. The Park will feature over a dozen displays telling the story of Amador's roll in the California Gold Rush. Work is being done on interpretive signage that will give visitors a brief history of the gold rush in Sutter Creek and Amador County, with historic photos and descriptions of each artifact on display.
 The SCCBF would like to thank all those who have donated time and money to help make this project a reality. The Donor Brick Campaign will help them complete the park. Purchasing a brick is the perfect way to commemorate loved ones, promote your business or organization, honor a special occasion, or find that special gift. Personalized Bricks start at only $100.
Remember, your brick purchase is tax deductible. Buying a personalized brick helps the Sutter Creek Community Benefit Foundation preserve our cultural heritage in Amador County. To order, visit www.sccbf.org . For more information please call Frank Cunha at 209-304-9192.
