After the "program," I've planned a special coffee and dessert bar. I think you'll like the scrumptious treats I've selected. Dog gone it! Mom says I can't have any chocolate! Rats!

I guess that ya'll want to know what to wear. Well, I'm wearing my tux because it's "Black Tie Optional." Faux fur is welcome. Real fur might be greeted at the door with a spray paint can. (Just kidding! But it's probably not a good idea to wear it.)

Oh yeah, don't forget to bring your checkbook because the main reason we are getting together - besides the food, fun, and fellowship - is to raise money to help the poor little homeless animals of Cherokee County.

Hope to see you all there!

Howdy from the campaign trail. So far, things are going pretty well with my Mayoral campaign. The polls say that I'm in the lead. Of course, I am the only announced candidate so I guess that is to be expected!

Remember last month when I told you that I was going to have this big party called the Fur Ball? Well, I just wanted to let you know that things are really coming together for all my animal-loving friends to have a dandy of a party on March 6 at the beautiful Canton Theatre.

For starters, we selected some really great hors d'ouvres from this fancy caterer fellow. (Mom says that hors d'ouvres is just a fancy word for yummy food. Sounds good to me!) As you might have guessed, eating is one of my favorite things! After we've had a chance to chow down and swap a few jokes with our favorite people, we'll get to rest our paws a while. You won't believe it, but we are going to have an appearance by "Orphan Annie" herself! Yes sirree, she's going to make a special appearance to help her four-legged orphan friends. It seems that Cherokee County has a real talented young lady who travels around the country performing in the national tour of everyone's favorite Broadway musical, Annie. In real life, our little Annie is known as Alexa Ehrlich, a fourth grade student at American Heritage Academy. Alexa, the daughter of Steven and Monica Ehrlich of BridgeMill, recently played Kate, one of the main orphans in the Theater of the Stars production of Annie at the Fox Theater. She was also the understudy for Annie.

Guess what else? Mom says that we are going to have a special visit from the world-famous "Bird Man." It seems that Cherokee County is also home to Ed Richman who has performed all over the country with his beautiful big birds - Macaws and Cockatoos. He'll be there with his winged wonders to help the animals as well!

Mom says that she has a few more surprise guests up her sleeve. I guess we'll find out when we get there.

What a minute! Is that Cinderella, the handsome Prince and the glass slipper? Or is it local animal lovers Ita Gilbert Doré and Doug Williams trying on some fancy duds for the Fur Ball? Guess you'll have to come to the Fur Ball to find out!

Be PET-riotic!
