A very canine Christmas
By Jodi Schneider McNamee, Correspondent
Even though Santa has been real busy in
Sisters this holiday season, he couldn’t go
back to the North Pole without a visit with
Sisters’ furry kids — it’s an annual Sisters
tradition.
Loads of super-excited dogs stopped by
Sisters Art Works on Saturday to get their Pet
Photos with Santa taken with the jolly bearded
man in the red suit.
For the second year, Sisters Art Works
hosted a Holiday Open House Celebration
with Furry Friends Foundation. Various art-
ists showcased their handiwork; wooden
boxes by Laurence Dyer, wreathes by Janet
Zuelke, knit hats and garlands by Erin Borla,
and creations by Kit Stafford, Tonye Phillips,
Kathy Deggendorfer and other artistic friends.
Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank also benefitted
from the open house with the Entry Gallery
full of hand-painted platters and textiles for
sale by various artists.
“I’m always amazed how many dogs we
can usher through the door in three hours, over
60 this year!” said Furry Friends Foundation
founder and director, Kiki Dolson. “It’s such a
fun day, the Sisters community really supports
us and for that I am so thankful.
“So many of the dogs come in all ener-
gized, with owners very much in tow. It seems
impossible they could ever get settled down,
but Santa (Sam Hernandez of Central Bark)
