Be sure to tune into the Rose Bowl Parade on January 1, 2013 at 9:30 AM Pacific Standard Time. Entry 65 will feature a float entitled "Canines with Courage" and sponsored by Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Pet Food. It depicts the Military Working Dog Teams National Monument and salutes these brave and loyal canines. Four canine teams from each branch of the military will be on the float as well as John Burnam and Mike Dowling. Mike is the author of "Sgt Rex" , about his and Rex's experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. Below is a link to the float description:

The bronze statues will be officially unveiled after the parade and will then go on a long tour before reaching their final destination an Lackland AFB, TX. I am fervently working with John to ensure they make a stop in the Valley!!!!

Also, on January 2, 2013 at 9:20 AM Mountain Standard Time, I am scheduled to be on Good Morning Arizona, Channel 3 here in Phoenix. I will be talking about the military working dog and the monument. Channel 3 does a live stream of their news programs on www.azfamily.com If you have a chance, tune in or watch it on their website. I'm really looking forward to it.

My next major booth setup will be at the Heart of the Desert Dog show, sponsored by the Sahuaro State Kennel Club and Lost Dutchman Kennel Club at the Arizona State Fairgrounds January 31 - Feb 4. A brand new T-Shirt and ballcap selection will be available.
