June 7, 2003 – Home Depot’s Child Safety Day

Creatures and Kids participated in this safety event for children.  Home Depot had several activities available.

CKI handed out free coloring books, teaching about safely interacting with dogs, and pamphlets titled “Saving the whole family; disaster preparedness series.”  Cindy displayed the emergency kit she assembled based on the pamphlet.

Therapy dogs, Jake and Bailey, came to interact with the crowd.  They stayed busy greeting the crowd, especially the children.

Home Depot had a booth for parents to photograph and fingerprint their child for identification records.

Tables were set up for the children to assemble wooden boxes, have their face painted, and a cake walk for the sweet tooth of both children and adults.

The fire department brought a fire truck – always exciting for the youngsters in the crowd.

The OKC Mounted Patrol was a big hit, too!  Seems all the kids wanted to pet the horse.

Thanks to all who attended and/or participated in the April 26th Creatures Educate event. Attendance was good, the weather was great, and several dogs and their owners were tested for various types of certification.

Several breeds and a good number of “All American” dogs attended.  Even beautiful rabbits and yearling alpacas where on hand for petting and educational information.

The American Red Cross demonstrated how to give the Heimlich maneuver to your dog if it is choking and how to perform canine and feline CPR.

Brownie Troops 289 and 178 invited Creatures and Kids to Washington Irving Elementary School.

Creatures and Kids demonstrated the appropriate and safe way to approach an unfamiliar dog and led the group in an interactive lesson on pet responsibility.
