Pancake Breakfast
Holy Flippin' Flapjacks Batman!
"That's right Robin, the Misty Pines Pancake Breakfast is back! That villianous Perfector of Pancakes is back again to tempt our tastebuds and lull us into mid morning naps with his sumptuous selection of Blueberry, Regular or Buckwheat pancakes smothered in smooth, creamy and oh so warm Maple Syrup."
"Last year we missed our chance to nab this corrupt cook's carefully crafted cakes because we were late, but this year, we'll make him pay. All you can eat for $5? Well, Batman has five dollars...five dollars and an appetite for justice."
"Suit up Robin! but no belt. By the time we're done consuming our weight in fluffy flapjacks our gargantuan guts will snap our utility belts like a twig."
"TO THE BAT MOBILE!

PROTECT THOSE PAWS!!!
My Dad was a carpenter and after working outside all day in the freezing temperatures with no gloves (Can't hold nails with gloves!) sometimes just coming in the house would make his fingers split and bleed. Thinking about this makes me real compassionate towards my dogs pads...
Dogs are on their paws all day and when they go out, the pads are exposed to the freezing cold as well as sharp ice and stinging chemicals. Help take care of your dogs precious paws with one of our two pad protecting products: Musher's Secret or K9 Granola Factory Soft Paw.

Hi, my name is Woodspoint Covey, M.H., you can call me Covey, and this is my black board. Check here frequently to keep up to date and see all of our announcements. Be sure to stop by the Dog Training section and visit the Special Events page to make sure you don't miss a single tail wagging adventure here at Misty Pines.
Looks like Jessi Wyke is the winner yet again. She answered first but I told her we were waiting for a young pup to answer. Unfortunately we didn't get any young pup answers, so she wins. We had a great prize for a kid, so now we'll have to think of a good prize for a little older kid.
I'm going to be taking some time off of the monthly question to help my great-grandaughter, Smudge, recover from surgery. If you happen to see her around at Misty Pines, be sure to give her a nice pat on the head and all the treats in your pocket. She's a retired hunter and one of the sweetest of our kind. Rest assured I'll be back soon with more Q's that need A's.
Cafe DownStay 2008
Over the last five years the Café down Stay has become an enjoyable tradition for people and dogs alike. The event at the 17th Street Café once again benefited the James Fair Animal Care Fund. James and his family attended with accompanied by his assistance dog Oakley. James received Oakley, his black Labrador retriever in November of 2008 from the Freedom guide Dog Association.
The event had a great turn out with 33 people and 19 well behaved dogs. The fundraiser was started off with mingling and a cash bar followed by a salad with Balsamic dressing. Lunch was delicious as usual with the choice of Rosemary chicken or Zucchini Tilapia both served with roasted red skin potatoes. To finish off the meal we all enjoyed a homemade brownie. The Misty Pines trained dogs all held there down stays patiently while the owners ate and socialized.
After everyone was full from there lunches it was time for the auction. We once again had our office and events coordinator Sherry Lavelle as the official auctioneer to keep the bids going and show the featured items. This year we had a dog head leash holder, Santa Claus decoration, 17th St Café gift certificates with bottles of wine or scotch, a Misty Pines service package, dog pajamas and a large dog bed. Thanks to the items donated by Pat and Bigitte Joyce, Rosewithia and Uli Krauskopf and Steve and Cherly Stoehr we were able to have the auction and raise a considerable amount more for James and Oakley. Thank you to everyone who participated in the auction and congratulations to all of our winners!
Special thanks go out to Pat and Brigitte Joyce the owners of the 17th street café for hosting the event and for the kind donations the made for James. The event raised an amazing total of $2560 for the James Fair Animal Care Fund. The staff at Misty Pines, James and his family truly appreciate the generosity of everyone attended the 5th annual Café down Stay and made a donation to the James Fair Animal Care Fund

Ladies Night Out Canned Food Drive 2008
In the past the weather cooperated with Misty Pines events allowing them to run smoothly without interruption. The Friday of ladies night was not one of those times. Other then the inclement weather the evening went as planned for the 2nd annual event.
The ladies checked in at the office where they received a name tag, bandana and a squirt of Holiday fragrance for the dogs. The ladies then selected a coupon from 10% to 30% that was good off the total of any retail purchase for the whole night. All Filson apparel was also an extra 30% off which is good news for the men.
After everyone perused the retail store it was off to the mezzanine for the wine, cheese and chocolate portion of the evening. There was red, white and sparkling Oh my! A cheese assortment lined the table accompied by various cracker choices. The chocolate fountain was having some technical difficulties so we instead had a large bowl of melted chocolate. The chocolate still tasted wonderful and the fountain was not missed when we dipped bananas, marshmallows, Nilla wafers and pretzels into it. While the women ate and mingled the movie "Elf" was playing on the big screen TV. The dogs also had the downstairs of the training building to play and use the obstacles. So the 2nd annual ladies night had something for everyone we even had a special appearance from Bubba the male chippendog.
We were once again able to collect a considerable amount of non-perishable food items to be donated to the Greater Pittsburgh food bank. Your kindness makes a profound difference in the lives of others which is why we continue to participate in the campaign to end hunger. Thank you to everyone who donated and to the ladies who attended the event, don’t worry if you were unable to attend and or held back due to the weather, the 3rd annual ladies night will be here before you know it!

Patty accomplished these goals within a week of her one year anniversary of coming to live with me and my labs. She is nine years old. It just goes to show you can definitely teach an old dog new tricks. Misty Pines was instrumental in helping me get Patty ready for her TDI test as well as giving us plenty of opportunity to practice our 'stay' exercises for the obedience ring.
Thanks to Jeff, Brett, Aimee and staff for their support in our training endeavors.
