Something to Consider
We should be cheering for each other.
There is no shortage on success.
If someone is succeeding, celebrate them.
If it can happen for them, it can happen for you.
You will need a cheering section too.
Encouragement is the best fuel for one another.
Attitudes are contagious, don’t forget it.
Team work makes the dream work.

ABOUT SNARE TRAPS
From the Pinelands Retriever Club FB Page
If you walk your dog in Wildlife Management or other “wild” areas,
you may encounter snare traps. Snare traps come in various designs but they can be released by taking the strain off the snare wire and opening the loop. This could be difficult with a panicked dog. Many upland hunters have been known to carry wire cutters in case their dogs encounter a snare trap. The attached video details how snare traps are set and the photo depicts a typical snare trap.
