Donating YT 500 Club Member | There is no Petland in my area or anywhere very close, but I hope there is a huge turnout for the protest at all of the Petlands. I will cross post this link though, thanks!

Some thoughts for signs are: ADOPT DON'T SHOP RESCUE DON'T BUY TELL PETLAND TO QUIT SELLING PUPPIES USDA DOES NOT ENFORCE/USDA IS JUST A NUMBER OR any of your own ideas Trying to set a record for the number at the WDM rally

| Are you going to bring a Furbaby to help spread the word? I was thinking about bringing one of mine.

| I would like to, but I don't know how practical it would be for 2 hrs - they always go as a pair & I think they would want to explore, plus I'm afraid trying to hold a sign & keep 2 leashes from tangling anyone up might be hard. I could put them in the stroller - but, as nice as it's going to be - I just don't know. I would like to bring them, because we will be so close to 3 Dog Bakery & we could go for a special treat afterwards

| Did anyone else go today to a protest rally? Bubba, Roxy & I went --- and we got to meet Missiemiss & Fro!! It was fun to meet another YTer! Lots of support for those driving by. Two TV stations were there & the organizer said it was a record for the number of people who showed up!! It was a good day - plus good weather, sunny & in the low 50s - a bit windy -- but we're ready to go again!! Plus, after it was over, we went down to Three Dog Bakery & treated the furbabies to some fresh made treats & we sat & talked!

| Yes we DID HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! It was great meeting you and your babies too! Fro slept all the way home. He came home and told the girls about his travels and experiences and then shared his Bakery treats with them. Ahhhhhhhhh I'm gonna check the news stations and the humane society pages - I'm sure they will have coverage there too! It's alway fun to do a meetup - even when there are just a couple of us!!!

| that wind must have been rougher than I realized - my lips are so chapped now & my eyes hurt/skin feels dry - I should have had my sun glasses on -- but still so worth it!
