Mid January Newsletter 2019
Last year, my husband and I went to McPaws to check out the adoptable dogs. We decided we wanted another dog for companionship with Fanta our 14 year old huskie dog and for us. We met Bandit at McPaws, and he was very shy. We decided to adopt Bandit and thought we were rescuing him. As soon as he stepped into our home he jumped on the couch. His tail could not stop wagging, he wagged his tail for over 2 hours. We soon figured out that Bandit was rescuing us with non-stop love. He greets us every morning with a smile or a cuddle. Wags his tail non-stop, and spins for treats. He never judges us, never complains, and just lives every day looking forward to hiking and new adventures.
 
This is when I started thinking about "How could I help", and after pondering, I thought how about a fundraiser for McPaws!
 
This fundraiser means a lot to me also because of a past client, Toni. She absolutely loved all animals and her family requested a donation to McPaws instead of flowers for her memorial celebration of life . Her husband Randy is a big supporter of McPaws and after finding Bandit at McPaws, I realized this would be a great non-profit to support. 
 
I think about Toni often who loved life, loved every animal and came into the studio to the bitter end suffering with ALS, she always had a smile in her eyes, absolutely excited to get on the reformer. Every time she went into an exercise I call frog she would make a frog noise "Ribbit". She taught me more about my life and teachings. Her sessions became lessons for me. 
 
I learned so much from her and not only do I want to dedicate this event to McPaws but also to her spirit to live on at the studio and community.

Please join McCall Pilates Team for a fun day of classes of your choice, silent auction , and open house party!

Please support this event by signing up for a class, bidding on a silent auction item, or simply stopping by the studio with a donation to McPaws.
