Connecting Great Danes to Great People.
It can be easy to over look our favorite pooch’s nails. But truth be told, nail care is an important part of grooming. If left to grow too long, nails can cause heath concerns for our pets. Nails too long can cause our pets to start to walk funny or they can split and get caught on various items and ripped off. This can lead to a lot of pain and out of pocket expense. So remember to take the time to trim those nails.

Meaning: To be ruined; to get into a bad situation from which recovery is all but impossible
Origins & History: From the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans, food deemed no longer fit for human consumption might well “go to the dogs” or be ” thrown to the dogs,” because the dogs – if they were hungry enough – would ignore the smell and taste and eat it anyway.

Location: Tom Blankeney Hike & Bike Trail Bridge, Alvin TX 77511
Date: February 11, 2012
Time: 11 am – 2 pm
Description: GDRST will have a booth at the Turtle Race in Alvin. Dogs are welcome to join but this isn’t necessarily a dog event. There will be all kinds of booths with games, craft, food, lots of stuff for the human kiddos to do, and more. We had so much fun the last 2 years, we had to do it again.
At approximately noon, the “adopted” turtles will be taken to Mustang Bayou and gently dropped in from the walkway bridge along the Tom Blakeney Hike …and Bike Trail. The turtles will then “race” down the bayou to the prearranged finish line near the Adoue Street bridge, where they will be “fished” out and the winners determined.
Booths featuring water, sandwiches, T-shirts, cookbooks, arts and crafts, sports drinks, smoothies, nachos, hot dogs, cotton candy, and sausage-on-a-stick will be available.
A silent auction will also be held with prize baskets full of goodies.
The Alvin I.S.D. Education Foundation is a 501c(3) (charitable) organization established to create support for academic programs of the district. Money raised will be used to fund student achievement and recognize and encourage staff excellence through innovative projects and ideas.

Meaning: Description of a type of long-eared, short-legged dog once used for hunting foxes and badgers (and therefore also known as a basset hound).
Origins & History: “Basset” was not originally the name of a type or breed of dog – it was simply a description, in French, of fogs that were short in stature (bas, “low”) and relatively small otherwise (-et, diminutive suffix); it was first recorded in English in 1616, since when it has apparently always been pronounced in the English fashion, and not the French.
