In Loving Memory of Alfred Fisher

As many of you know Alfred Fisher (our first match) passed away suddenly last August. Many of the wonderful friends he made at the Bark Park made a plaque in his honor. The friends, both two and four legged, met at the park and dedicated the plaque to him.

The inaugural Doggone Patriotic 5K
Saturday, July 4, 2020

Alfred was kind enough to loan Louie to me for the 5K walk on the fourth of July. Louie was excited so off we went for three laps around a park near where Alfred and Louie live. We stopped every lap for water and a break. Thanks to the organizers for a fun event and for their donation to Pets for Vets, Inc.

The Northern Delaware Chapter of Pets for Vets made front page news. The local newspaper "The News Journal" ran this story about our two matches on the front page of the September 19 edition of the paper.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions we had a very limited celebration at the Banning Pet Park where Louie and Alfred spend time socializing with their two and four legged friends. Louie is having trouble understanding that the dog area is locked at present but hopefully it will open soon. Louie and Alfred are very happy together and we enjoy getting together at the park to socialize safely.
