Furry Scurry - Mission Accomplished

Today was the Furry Scurry. I have been wanting to do this for years, but always seem to be working or have other plans when it comes around. It is a walk that benefits the Dumb Friends League, an amazing shelter for animals. Their goal is to find homes for unwanted animals, but also to keep them there. They offer behavior consults and training classes to help these animals stay in the homes they find. They go to schools to educate kids about being responsible and respecting animals. I adopted Bethany, Tristan, and Greta from this place.

There were SO MANY people there! There were nearly 6000 participants, and they raised more than $530,000! We helped a lot of animals today. Thanks to everyone who helped me raise money! I took some pictures, but they are not up yet. They have some pictures on their website (link above).

I did add some of Lara's pictures to my Picture Album of our hike to Golden Gate last Sunday. And I put some of her pictures in the Frisco Winter Gallery since they were much better than mine, so check those out if you're bored.

I also went to the dog park today and walked Greta to this park close by to my house. I'm working on her leash walking. She's a puller, and it drives me crazy! This class we just started will help though. Our instructor said by the end of our 6 weeks, they should be heeling off leash! Ha! We'll see. She's actually really good without distractions, but I will be practicing a lot so we don't make fools out of ourselves. Although, I checked out our competition, and I think we have a chance of being the head of class! I'm so competitive...
