I took that class abot 2 years ago or so. It was great. I was at the vet's office with Drake when I heard the Techs talking about it and I asked for some info.

I am going... in fact, only 2 people (including me) have signed up and we need a minimum of 5 to make it worthwhile for the Red Cross.

I'll buy dinner for any Pet Talker who comes. (I'm not above groveling either... )

I called today and signed up! The woman was really shocked when I said I was coming from Toledo. There was just this silence...then "You are coming from Toledo, OHIO? How did you hear about it?" You'll have to help me out with directions Kim...I have only been in the Lansing area twice...once traveling through and once to MSU.
