A History Making Day!
Ever have one of those days where you pinch yourself and say that you can't believe what is happening? I experienced one of those days last Friday, when our good friends, Frankie the Walk 'n Roll Dog and her human, Barbara Techel, Sparkles and myself, visiting via skype to share fire safety with the children of Clarksville Primary School.
What amazes me about Barbara and Frankie, is that our goals are so parallel. They have been a true blessing and we will be joining forces on occasion to help share each others messages. Doesn't that just give you goosebumps?
On Friday, I was so thankful that Principal Steve Ziegler, Kathy Howell, and all of the children and teachers at Clarksville Primary School once again allowed us the opportunity to visit their school. And, what made this day so very special, is that they got to hear first hand, Frankie's story.
It was truly a day that I will never forget! Thank you Barbara and Frankie for coming into our lives!

New Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog Pop Art by Artist Dean Russo
Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog's Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation is pleased to announce Sparkles' new pop art by artist Dean Russo.
Brooklyn, NY artist Dean Russo got his formal training in The School of Visual Arts in NYC. His fascination of the urban landscape has influenced his work entirely. From his obsession with graffiti and street art he has carved his own version of pop art from the ever moving world around him. Asked to describe his work, he said, "My work is about motion and a sense of taking a familiar form to the next level."
Click HERE to visit the foundation's product page. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these new items will benefit the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation and the work of Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog. Thank you, Dean, so very much on behalf of the foundation, Sparkles, myself and all of the children and their families that you will help keep fire-safe!
To learn more about the foundation, visit our website. If you have an item that would help enhance the work of the foundation, please contact me at dayna@keepkidsfiresafe.org.

Big news!

One of Sparkles and my favorite bloggers in the whole wide world, author and mommy blogger, Dawn Meehan, has posted a book review of our book, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog on her Because I Said So blog.

And, cause I am feeling so generous and because I like Dawn's blog and her readers so much, I am also going to throw in a battery operated talking combination smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector from First Alert, worth over $60! The voice alarm is really easy to program even notifies you which hazard is being sensed.
How cool is that? Over $160 in fire safety goods for each of two of Dawn's lucky readers! So, tell all your friends and help spread the word!
Thanks to Dawn for helping us spread the fire safety message! And, a big thanks to our friends at First Alert! Working together we can help keep children and their caregivers fire safe.
