We are gearing up for a very busy school year here at the WATCH D.O.G.S. home office (in Springdale, AR). This school year, 2008-09, we look forward to helping your WATCH D.O.G.S. program maintain the success you had previously. We have added some new resources and products to the 2008 catalog, so please view our online catalog at www.fathers.com/watchdogs and check out the latest items schools are buying! Secondly, if your school knows when you'll be launching your program in the fall, please let us know so we can send you the proper information to start your program with a bang! My kids can't wait for school to start, so they can have some "pizza with dad," and wear their WATCH D.O.G.S. tattoo (new item) to the Dads and Kids Pizza Night. My boys and I look forward to that event every year. I would like to challenge each of you to spend some time with your children before school starts - quality time. Many of us are currently rushing around trying to cram in our summer vacations, some of us already have; however, our children just want us to spend some time with them. For me, my kids want to play outside, go camping, eat smores, read to them, wrestle, swim, have tea parties, and paint fingernails (yes, I will wear pink polish for her!). As working professionals, we know time is money. However, as parents, and especially as dads spending time with our families is priceless. For me, my greatest joy and pleasure is seeing my family laugh, smile, and giggle. And for you, I know it is the same as well. Its a ruff job, but DOGS have to do it!

Have a great weekend and go make some memories,
