Uncle Bill's Protest, Dec 22, Noon

We'll be there. Are we allowed to have posters? Do we need some kind of a permit?

We have to stay on public property and yes, please make all the signs and posters you would like.

I'll try to be there! I really hope we can knock some sense into those peeps!

Oh, are we allowed to bring our pets? I would like to show them what a well taken care of pet looks like!!!!!!!!

This is the store Bub came from. It was 11 years ago and we paid a fortune for him. They said he'd had his shots and was ready to go. We were young and first time pet owners. They sent us home with no information about how to care for a dog or that he would need additional shots, heartworm medicine every month, training and socialization. Of course we know all that stuff now, 11 years and several pets later. When we brought him home, he was already four months old, had probably been in a cage the whole time and was absolutely terrified of his own shadow. Within a month he had parvo, within a year he had heartworm, and it took probably two years to potty train him. He gets skin cysts, which are inherent to his breed. But, luckily, for the most part, he has been a healthy dog.....So, shame on us for not doing our own research, but also I think shame on them for not informing their customer's on the needs of their purchase, but wait, that would probably cut into profits, just like proper health care and reputable breeds.....Greed is such a horrible thing.

Stop the Bell: Here in Indy, just as in shelters across the US, there is a doorbell at the back door for the public to ring when they want to relinquish a stray or unwanted animal. Move to ACT and help us stop this bell.

One thing that I like yesterday were the poster with Petfinder.com on them. It's good to tell people not to buy from pet stores but you also need to offer an alternative way to get a pet. I also overhead a spectator talking about that in Fishers and I thought it was a good point. Or even signs that say Don't shop-Opt to Adopt. I'm not sure if I'll be there. We're doing picture with Santa again this Saturday along with adoptions.

I will be with you in spirit only. I'm having hand surgery the day before. Here's hoping for better weather and a large turnout!

My mom said she really wanted to come, but she has to work all day Saturday. Darnit! I hope you have a great turnout!

Gosh Darnit! My human sister has a driving test at that time! Hope she does well!

We will definately try our hardest to make it! Can't wait!

ok, i have posted this information on another website, hope it helps, cant wait till you hit the eastside.

Can you pm me any contact info, so i can pass it along if anyone has questions?

I'll be there Saturday and have signs that say: Get a life...adopt at animal shelters!

Mom and dad will sure try to make it, they're moving houses right now but they will try to take a break to come out. If they don't make it...Good Luck!
