Our annual Dog Show, held on February 25th, was our biggest success yet! Over 25
canine beauties strutted their stuff around the show ring. There were dogs, kids and adults
everywhere you looked. Mary Jane Johnson ran the registration table while Zoe and Lilly
Griffith fitted each dog with colorful bandanas.
Jim Cumiskey was our master of ceremonies announcing each dog and handler while
entertaining the crowd with his great sense of humor and quick wit. Our highly respected
panel of judges , Robyn Price, Toyia Swaner and Jim Weir had their work cut out for them
awarding each contestant with their redeeming show ring quality.
The Upper Potomac Valley Kennel Club put on an amazing demonstration of agility and
obedience with their pets from home. They dazzled the crowd with verbal commands and
hand signals. The dogs were brilliant and eager to please their masters. Our memories were
captured by Becky Weir as she was everywhere snapping photos for our bulletin board.
Each winner received a doggie bag with peanut butter flavored dog biscuits donated by
Stone haven's Uptown Hound and Laundromutt of LaVale Md. Homemade doggie cupcakes
were from Autumn McDonald and her family. Volunteer Shawna helped move the dogs and
handlers into the show ring.
The afternoon was tons of fun for everyone!! Many thanks to our outstanding staff for
their total co-operation and endless effort to ensure a ‘howling” good time at Lions Center.
Also Thanks to the wonderful volunteers that helped our residents back to their rooms.
Finally, thanks to everyone who attended this event and for your co-operation in our
Fabulous Dog Show of 2012!
Please take a look at some of the images captured
during this years Dog Show on the next page!

of $1.00 or 1 non-perishable food item will be collected.
We will also have a collection station in the front lobby for additional food donations.
Cash donations can be given to the office.
Thank you for your support!!
P.S. if you know someone in need have them call the food bank 301-722-2797.
They will refer them to our new location.

be March 30th. Please help support our group.

A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.
The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one
corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would
be the winner and become the new King.
The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of
the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no
magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles, etc.).
One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King.
How did he figure it out?
