Jeff, Bean and I participated in the Doggie Dash this year as it was our first year having a dog and while Brandon could have brought Nicky we thought it might be more fun if we still had two arms in our sockets when the day was done:-)
The weather was perfect for the mile and a half loop we chose. The sky was blue, no rain, just warm enough to be comfortable. We were a bit nervous about doing the 2.5 mile walk with Finnegan just yet as we are still learning his limits. It was really cool in the morning so Finn went along happily greeting, or ignoring other dogs without getting too overworked, overheated, or anything. He even got a bit of pancake for his efforts.
When it was time for the walk to start he walked along quite happily and didn't really bother with other dogs.
The was a singing dog contest, doggie kiss contest, we didn't participate:-P and the I ams so ugly I am cute contest as well. The winner of the ugliest dog contest was a pug mined with a brindle Frenchie maybe??? The runner up was a horrible Chinese crested...how can you love a dog like that!?!
The day was all in all a great success and as it benefits the Oregon Humane Society we will likely do it again next year, but will register earlier so that we have the opportunity to get sponsors. We were headed to the OHS when Finnegan graced our lives.
Following the Doggie Dash Finnegan was wiped out! Jeff looks like he smiling here but I think he is snoring too, at least on the inside:-)
