Sponsor: Laura Soll Public Relations LLC & Precision Marketing

Hi! My name is Order Up! I relish my memories from 50's style diners and remain a soda jerk to this day with my bowtie and sometimes a fry cook when the kitchen needs me! My hot dog bod fits nicely in my new bun, but don't be tempted to eat it!

My sponsors, Precision Marketing LLC and Laura Soll Public Relations LLC, will love to have me around! I can go on hot dog and soda runs whenever they get hungry!

Paddy

Paddy
Artist: Rita Harry
Sponsor: John & Agnes Pier


I am a pup named Paddy who proved quite a laddie.
Straight over the pond from Ireland.
I skip and I jump and am full of such spunk.
My friends are the Lucky,the Fairies, the Scaries, and fun is my game.
So if you are lucky enough to see me, be sure to smile , cause I can skedaddle in so such a snap.
Be happy that luck is upon us, with me,Paddy,among us.
The future be told, that good fortune is gold, and let it be known that we are not alone.
So good luck hunting the four leaf clovers and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
But please know that the greatest treasure
Is a friendship like no other.

Thank you to my sponsors John & Agnes Pier, to many in Windsor and beyond they are friends near and dear.

Puzzles

Puzzles
Artist: Danielle Brown
Sponsor: Geissler s Supermarket


Hi my name is Puzzles and I have autism. When I was a puppy I had a hard time understanding commands from my master. I couldn t recognize his emotions and I became confused when the children were playing. Sometimes my master would take me on walks and I got scared when I heard cars or other loud noises. If other dogs barked I became frightened and covered my ears or hid under the bed. I loved this one toy, which was a squeaky duck. I could play this game for hours on end, but I couldn t comprehend why my master was annoyed by this toy.
Fortunately, when I was two years old and grew out of my puppy stage, my master brought me to the vet. That same day the veterinarian diagnosed me with autism. My master was so relieved because he had a name for my problem. He started reading books on puppies with autism. Slowly, we learned together how to control it. Today I still have autism, but I can manage it.
I wanted to give a bark to my sponsor. He/She truly wanted to get spread awareness on autism. You can catch me on the Town Green and in Geissler s raising awareness to people about this disorder.
