Cool, yeah snow's one thing we don't have to worry about in Fl, well not a huge amount...we have had itty bitty amounts in the 1980's. I can't wait they use to have it in January, but for some reason made it later this year. Have they had them in New Jersey for many years? I think it's a great idea, the shelter makes money and you get to talk to all these people most of who are crazy over thier dogs too.
