Private Dock Time at Wags

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 years ago when I first approached Make-a-Wish to inquire about having a dog jumping event I absolutely had no idea what was ahead. It never ceases to amaze me just how special the Splashdog community is...how diverse and yet how like minded we all are. I want to thank each and every one of you for everything you do, not just for the Wags event, but for every event. San Diego Make-a-Wish has generated nearly half a million dollars from Wags events...AMAZING!!!!!

Once again this year we are auctioning off via sealed email bids private time on the dock. You and your dog (or anyone you invite) will have 100% private time on the dock for one hour. The time will run from 7:45 - 8:45 a.m. each morning. You will have free run of the place to take pictures, have private playtime with your pooch, (and your special invited guests???) or seriously train for competition.

To place your bid, please send me an email at hoganflys@earthlink.net. Include your phone number, bid price, and day choice (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.) The bids close at noon on Thursday, July 10. We will be taking one bid for each morning. The bid amount will be kept confidential.

This worked out great last year. Each day went for over $100 if you are thinking of the amount to bid this year.

Once again, thank you all for your generous support of Wags for Wishes. With everyone working together, this year's event willcontinue the tradition of being the world's greatest dock jumping event!

Sincerely,
