CATS!

We can use some help feeding our feral cats. Currently looking for Thursday and /or Saturday person(s) to feed them preferably between the hours of 10am and 1 pm. Also, as Gary will be out of town on June 30, we’ll need to cover his Tuesday shift for a couple of weeks. Feeding the cats takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and requires stooping to get into their cage area twice to get bowls and return them. I will give you instructions. Please let me know if you can help out.

Who Let the Dogs Out?

The Central Coast Nosework Club of California recently held a national competition at the SLOBC! K9 Nose Work or scent training is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. Similar to search-and-rescue work, this fun canine activity in-volves the dog seeking out and finding different scents hidden in various environments, both indoors and outside. It requires the dog and handler working together to compete for accuracy and time.

Over two days, 78 dog and handler teams conducted 312 searches on the grounds. Competitors traveled from Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and all over California to participate. Even the church cats came out to see what was going on, creating a perfect real-life scenario for a few searches! Many people commented on the beauty of the church and grounds while expressing gratitude for being able to share in it.

Gassho,
