Our Next Scheduled Meeting
Date: October 11, 2010
Time: 7:30 PM
Location: Johnny Bright Playground
3401 Cleary Avenue, Metairie, Louisiana
The November meeting is tentatively set/
scheduled for November 8, 2010.
October, November and December will be busy months for
our club. An important event will take place in each
Weather and Class Information Hotline
Sunday, November 14 will be Pet Fest in Lafreniere Park.
Deep South has been very active in Pet Fest almost from
its inception and this year is no exception. The Drill Team
will perform and we will have other demonstrations and
games during the day. We want to interact with the public
in most of our activities so we will try to design them so
that the average dog owner can take part. We are also planning to sponsor Therapy Dog International Certification at
Pet Fest so we will need lots of help with this event. This
is a lot fun for dogs and people alike and everyone has a
great time. Get in touch with Marlane Mayo if you would
like to help out. We will set up on Saturday afternoon and
take down Sunday evening, these are the times when the
work is most physical and we need more able bodied
help. Please come out and give us a hand, you will have a
good time.
October 16 &17 will be our Obedience and Rally Trials in
Mandeville, La. in The Castine Center at Pelican
Park. Debbie Boyd is trial Chairman and Secretary and she
is looking for lots of help with the trial. Even if you have
never been to a trial before the work is not that difficult
and we give on the job training. We especially need help
early Saturday morning with setting up and on Sunday afternoon with breaking everything down and putting it
away. The park is only 5 or 6 miles from the North end of
the causeway so it isn't that far. Please come out and help
your club, it will be a rewarding experience.

The Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter and the Jefferson
SPCA held a pet adoption weekend on Saturday, September 18, 2010 and Sunday, September 19, 2010 at the Royal
Palms Center Shopping Center at 1901 Manhattan Boulevard in Harvey, Louisiana. The adoption event times were
from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day. There was a good
turnout of DSABOTC members to work each day, and we
worked along with other volunteers and students working
for community service credits from Ursuline Academy.
Provisions for the day in terms of canopies, drinks, pizzas,
and water were provided by Jefferson Feed, Pet and Garden Center.
Everyone who worked this event had a great time, and
helped get a total of 14 dogs adopted for the weekend. No
cats were brought for this adoption weekend, as we were
located out in the parking lot/grass area. Six dogs were
adopted out on Saturday, and eight dogs were adopted out
on Sunday. The flow of potential adopters was moderate
both days, but we were pleased with the results for the
weekend. A special thanks goes out to Lynn Morvant of
Jefferson Feed, Pet and Garden Center for the provisions;
and thanks to all of the DSABOTC members who participated and made a difference this weekend. On page 4 are
photos taken at the adoption event.

and cash for the JPAS on a regular basis. We will be collecting at our monthly club meetings and at our regular
Tuesday Night Training Classes; followed by the physical
delivery to the JPAS several times per month. The shelter
is in need of blankets, towels, washcloths, Science Diet dry
and canned dog food, toys for puppies, and money for
medications. I have been appointed as the club liaison to
the JPAS, and will keep in touch with them on their needs.

ADDITIONAL CLASSES FOR ADDITIONAL DOGS
By Jody Legendre (504) 738-3831
At the September 13, 2010, meeting, the Club voted to reinstate an old policy which gives more structure as to
how members can enroll additional dogs (still at no additional cost) that they own into classes after they have
completed classes with their first dog.
The “Membership Agreement” form is also used for a “Class Reservation” form. So a form must be completed for each new dog going into a class for the first time. You can obtain this form from on our website,
www.deepsouthobedience.com and click on “Application”, or get a copy from me. Give the completed form
plus proof of current shots (Rabies, Parvo, & Distemper) to me for your class assignment. Please indicate if
any of your membership information is new: i.e., address, phone numbers, e-mail, etc.
Your dog cannot be assigned to the appropriate class until I have these documents. Several members have
told me they would like to be in the next Beginner’s Obedience class (probably October, 2010). Those of you
that have told me this need to get these forms to me, as this policy is in effect now. Also, and I am very sorry
to say, my memory is not so good, and I may have already forgotten you. Now the responsibility is yours for
your dogs to get into classes. Please get these papers to me at class on Tuesdays, or mail them to me (sorry,
no faxes).
As always, if you have any questions you are welcome to call me at home or see me at class. More and more
of you members are taking advantage of the club’s benefits, and I will truly appreciate your cooperation with
this policy.
Now, don’t forget to come out to our club functions and give a helping hand if you possibly can. We always
need lots of hands. We do “on the job training” and you will enjoy the activities, plus seeing our dogs in action. It all goes into what makes this a really great club, but you’ll never know what you are missing if you
never participate! The more of us there are, the easier it is to have these events.
