Furry Friends

“Twilight Bark” - Please Close the Gate

Naturally, being the President of the Corte Bella Canine Club, my favorite Disney movie is “101 Dalmatians”. A villainous, Cruel DeVille wanting to make coats out of puppies, aghast! But what saves the missing puppies is the “Twilight Bark”dogs from all over the area, barking to one another to answer the call to find the puppies.

Here too at Corte Bella we have our own Canine Club Twilight Bark (Call). As one of the first responders to the Twilight Call when I hear of a missing dog, I am able to dispatch my fellow Canine Club members to disburse and cover the areas of Corte Bella in search of the missing furry friend. As our club grows, our goal is to continue to grow our Twilight Call list to as many members as we can.

And what is one of the biggest reasons we need our Twilight Call? I hear, again and again, “someone left the gate open”! Yes, we all love Amazon, and the devoted drivers of UPS, FedEx, contractors and landscapers, but in their haste to deliver packages or services as quickly as they can, they inadvertently leave the gate open.

So a recent friend gave us a great idea for a Dog Rescue fund raiser- a “Please Close the Gate” sign that we, as homeowners, can place by our gates. We are in the midst of the design and cost, we are shooting for under $20, with a portion of the cost donated to a Pet Rescue Center. The sign will display our CB Canine Club logo and consistent with community CC&Rs.

If you are interested in helping design or purchase a sign, please contact me at Chrishanson204@gmail.com

We welcome anyone who wants to help with the design. We would love to see your idea. Mine (below) is just a suggestion. We welcome our community’s help!
