Hi Buddies!!

Well, tomorrow’s the big day! I know it’s supposed to rain but let’s not let that interfere with the important work we’re doing to help people with Parkinson’s disease. We’re PUPS and we do what it takes to get the job done. So, rain or shine, I’m looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow!

Love,

Wow – only a week to go until the big day! This will be a busy week for us because we do a lot of visits and interviews right before the day of the PUPS Walk. There’s a lot of responsibility when you’re a spokesdog, but it’s all for a good cause, and that’s all that really matters. When I think of all the people with Parkinson’s disease who are depending on us to help find a cure and make their lives more comfortable I feel so proud of all us pups. We walk for the people who can’t, and we’ll keep doing that until we’ve licked this disease!

And the PUPS Walk is our chance to do good and have fun at the same time. There are contests we can enter, a fun agility course, and a Parkinson’s Service Dog will show us the things he can do to help a person with Parkinson’s disease. And what I really look forward to is getting to meet all of you. I’ll see you all next Sunday!

Love,

Two Weeks And Counting!!

I get a little more excited each week as we get closer to our PUPS Walk! These last weeks are always the busiest for us, with interviews to do and places to go to tell everyone what the PUPS Walk is all about—helping people with Parkinson’s disease live better today and in the future. The money we raise helps researchers continue their important work to find a cure. And now we’re helping people live better with Parkinson’s disease by providing Parkinson’s Service Dogs to help them every day.

But we can’t do it without your help. Let’s make this the best PUPS Walk ever!

See you soon—

Love,

The Countdown Begins!!

Well, there are only 3 weeks left before our big day--- the day we get together and walk for a cause—to help people with Parkinson’s disease! I’m really excited because I help with all the work before the Walk and my reward is getting to meet all my Buddies on the big day.

This year’s PUPS Walk is even more special because of the way some pups are helping people with Parkinson’s live better every day. Some really special dogs are being trained to help people with Parkinson’s walk more safely and even to help them get up if they fall. It takes a lot of special training to be able to do those things and we can all be really proud that some of us are picked to do this.

But it takes donations so that the researchers can work hard to find a cure and so that dogs can work hard to train to be Parkinson’s Service Dogs. And that’s how the rest of us can help. The money that your human pals donate to sponsor you in the PUPS Walk makes all this possible. We can’t do it without you! I hope to see you all on Sunday, April 22nd.

Love,

Hello Buddies!

It’s getting closer every day—closer to the day when we all get to meet at the PUPS for Parkinson’s Dog Walk. I’m so excited! This is one of my most fun days all year—the day when I get to meet all the pups who are putting their paws to the pavement to help people with Parkinson’s disease.

There are always fun things to do at the PUPS Walk, like the contests (OK, maybe dressing us up is more fun for our people than for us!) and the agility course. But this year we’re having something really special. We’re going to show everyone how specially trained service dogs can help people with Parkinson’s every day. I am really proud that we pups can do this important work—helping people with Parkinson’s move around better and more safely so they can have a better quality of life. And all of our service dogs are adopted from shelters—so they get to have a wonderful life too as someone’s very best friend.

But we can’t do this without your help. And that’s what the PUPS Walk is all about—having a good time while we raise the money that is needed to find a cure, AND to help people who need some assistance every day until a cure is found. So please help us help them by taking part in the PUPS for Parkinson’s Dog Walk on April 22nd. Because curing Parkinson’s may not be as easy as a walk in the park—but it’s a good way to start!

Love,



Baylee

Hello Buddies!

I hope you all got a lot of holiday goodies and are having a fun New Year. I’m having a lot of fun with my new little sister—a kitten – because I’m teaching her all about her new home. She’s very friendly and lets me rub noses with her. I think we’ll be great friends!

I’m also getting ready for my spokesdog work for PUPS for Parkinson’s Disease. Our next dogwalk is only three months away and I’m already excited! The PUPS Walk will be on Sunday, April 23rd and we all have to ask our people to ask their friends to sponsor us. Money raised at the PUPS Walk funds research to help people with Parkinson’s disease. And we have some exciting news to tell everyone at this year’s PUPS Walk—about another way we pups can help people live with this disease.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the 2012 PUPS for Parkinson’s Dogwalk on April 23rd!

Love,

Well, we did it! Once again our PUPS Walk was a success because we and our people showed how much we care about curing Parkinson’s disease. I hope you all had as good a time as I did. A park full of great smells, nice people, and happy pups—that’s my idea of a good time!

Our next PUPS for Parkinson’s Dog Walk will be on Sunday, April 22, 2012. And this PUPS Walk will be extra-special because we’re now doing more than ever before to help people who have Parkinson’s disease. I can’t tell you all about it just yet, but you could say that we’re REALLY proving that dogs are “man’s best friends”.

So be sure to join us at the 2012 PUPS Walk. There will be contests and games and a special demonstration that will make us even prouder that we’re PUPS for Parkinson’s Disease.

See you there!

Love,



Baylee
