A weekly RUSEPRC Newsletter
Hello everyone!
Happy last meeting! Tonight we
will have pizza! Feel free to dress up as
festive as your heart desires!
Everyone did a great job to
contribute to our success in the Menlo
Park Mall Fundraiser. We raised over
$1500! Special thank you to Shuang
and Annie for taking pictures as well as
all our drivers in the carpool. We will be
able to use the money to buy supplies
for our club and supplement parts of
our budget that got cut.
As I spoke about last week, if you
are interested in on campus puppy
club housing for next year it is time to
start thinking about it. I will send out
more information during break but it
would be best if you start forming a
group of four to live with. If you have
any questions at all before I put all the
info together, feel free to ask!
Thank you to everyone for a
fantastic semester. For those who are
graduating-good luck! I am always
proud and impressed by the dedication
of everyone to our club.
Good luck on finals! Study hard
and don’t waste your time
procrastinating-winter break is just
around the corner!

Handling Tip of the week: Your feelings travel through the leash! If you are angry, upset, or
anxious when handling a puppy the puppy will sense that. Stay as calm as possible in any
situation and if you aren’t calm it is fine to pass the dog to another handler
Puppy Interview-Kimi
What do you like to do when you
aren’t working?
When I’m not working, my favorite
things to do are go for walks
around the block and to nap with
my favorite fuzzy blanket!
What are your strengths? What
do you like most about your
job?
I am a very fast learner and I pick
up on cues pretty quickly! I can
even “rest” with 1 kibble on each
paw!
What are your weaknesses?
What do you like least about
your job?
The thing I least like about my job
is that I can’t stop and eat all the
acorns around me! I guess you
can say I’m a nature lover in that
aspect!
What gets you up in the
morning?
FOOD!
Do you have ay nicknames?
My raiser calls me Kimye, Kimbo,
Kimbae, and Edna Jr.!

Seeing Eye Fact of the Week: Seeing Eye dogs are trained to guide their handlers around
obstacles, whether on the ground or overhead. They alert their owner to changes in
elevation or tripping hazards, and most importantly, they are trained to navigate street
crossings and are instilled with a sense of intelligent disobedience Dogs are taught to ignore
a command that would jeopardize the safety of the handler, such as crossing against traffic
or a command to step off a vacant subway platform.
