Man's Best Friend: Help Protect A Dog That Protects Us

-
This one will be short and sweet, as its pretty simple, to me it's a 'nuff said deal.

The MECA Foundation, who's mission it is to is to protect every police dog in the state of Wisconsin by providing them with bullet proof and stab proof vests, needs the help of the community for a local police dog named DJ.

DJ's K-9 Protective Vest has expired and MECA would like to purchase him a new one. The new and improved vests go for approximately $1000 and they need us to step up and give them the funds they need to do so.

We have covered MECA before, about their annual Vest A K-9 Fest, which you can read about here. I have a soft spot for dogs, I respect what they do for us as companions and more as caretakers. They serve and protect us in so many ways, one of which is as police dogs, and MECA is there to return the favor to protect the dogs that protect us.

Please consider donating to the cause and get DJ a new vest - head on over to their donation page here.

UPDATE 1/20: The funds have been raised for DJs vest, however, MECA is always in need of funds so please consider making a donation now or in the future.

Hey look quick, its kids being active! It is all too common for us to bemoan the sedentary lifestyle of modern children and there are many efforts to increase their level of activity. At the same time, we condemn physical activities we once did as youths with no thought of safety. It is understandable that we want to protect our kids and promote safe practices like wearing of helmets. But how do we reconcile our concerns of safety while also promoting physical activity? One of the best ways is to create and maintain safe spaces for them to do the activities. In Wauwatosa they are doing just that with a new skate park being planned in Hart Park. With the assistance of Tosa Skateboarders United , TSU, and the  Jack Doyle Memorial Challenge Grant funds have been raised to build a new skate park that will provide a dedicated, safe place for skaters in the city to, well, skate.
