Tango's last public fire safety presentation streamed LIVE on the web!

PEEPS! Great news! Tomorrow we will be live streaming my very last public fire safety presentation. As you may have heard, I am retiring now that I am almost 11 1/2 years old. It's been a great 4 1/2 years and I am ready to spend my "golden
years" chillaxen! This is a very RARE opportunity and we hope that you will see us in action! 
 
Special thanks to Principal Davis at Celia Clinton Elementary in Tulsa for letting us do this! YOU ROCK Principal Davis!!! We are excited that our friends from the Tulsa Fire Department will be there (catch that Rainbow Diamond, Spokesdog!). The live stream will begin a little before 9:30 AM CST at http://www.firesafetydogs.com). Hope you can join us!!!! Tango

Skyping with our Third Country Soon!

We are soooo excited! We are going to be Skyping with a school in Latvia soon!

We started a new program that we have taken international (https://education.skype.com/projects/3618-learning-about-dalmatians-and-the-fire-safety-dogs-is-fun-

and each week we have set aside Thursdays to Skype with other countries!

For those of you that may not know (we are just learning too!) Latvia is a country in Europe and the capitol of it is Riga. It is an ancient Baltic country and is officially called the Republic of Latvia.

We can't wait to meet the children and this will be our first experience with a translator. Pawsome!
 
FACTOID:
 
 
Saint Peter's Church in Riga was built in 1209 and enlarged in the 15th century. Its current tower was completed in 1746 and restored in 1973 when an elevator was installed. People can now view Riga from a height of about 72 m (236 ft).

The Kindness of Others

Thank you to Alicia from Must Love Tiaras for one of the most amazing gifts. Alicia has amazing talent and gave me a beautiful necklace to wear to always keep Sparkles and Spanner close to my heart. 

Sparkles crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in 2010, and Spanner, in 2008. Both were rescued and went on to doing amazing things, including appearing on PBS KIDS Sprout and FOX and Friends.

Since receiving this very thoughtful gift, I have worn my necklace non-stop. Thank you, Alicia, your kindness is overwhelming and I appreciate your thoughtfulness so very much.
