Spring Rocket Dogs

Sunday was the March for the Animals and a good time was had by all. We had a pretty sizable group of people and pups. We saw just about every kind of dog at the walk, and I wish I had taken more pictures of our surroundings. Penny and I went up to the Baltimore Dog Magazine booth to check it out when an event photographer stopped us and asked if he could take Penelope's picture. He said he was only taking pictures of very unique looking dogs. I was flattered..and I'm hoping she ends up online or in the paper.

Once we started our walk it was difficult to take many pictures because I was walking Penny and carrying a portable water bowl so that she could stop and drink often. Russ walked Remy and although he pulled most of the way (and Russ looked kind of miserable and exhausted/frustrated) he did start making progress towards the end of the walk. It was about 80 degrees and the walk around the Druid Hill Reservoir was on blacktop...so the dogs needed a lot of water and got pretty exhausted and hot. Our pack, the Spring Rocket Dogs made over $600 (thanks to everyone who donated and or walked with us). The event raised $316,000 for the shelter. YAY!!!!

Here are my few pictures from the day:

Remy and Russ as we waited for the rest of the "pack" to arrive.


Penelope sprawled out on our complimentary gift bags (trying to keep them all for herself)


And this is why we get stopped everywhere we go...that face is ADORABLE!




And of course Penny's adorable boyfriend Antooooniooooo (sung like song: Hollywood)


The only pic I have of Penny and I walking...thanks Charissa!
