Doggie Dash 2010

This morning was the 19th annual Doggie Dash, a 1.3 mile run/walk put on by the Vet School. And it was the McMotte family's 1st annual participation in the Doggie Dash.


This is Sandy before, happy to be outside, peeing in new places, no idea what lies ahead.



And this is Sandy after. After finishing second to last, beating only the Chihuahua. After pooping three times. After I dragged her the last mile of the 1.3 mile course.



Lullabelle finished right before Sandy, as she and Marc kept Sandy's pace as a show of family solidarity. But it was so hard for her to do; she wanted to run ahead the entire time.



But it was a lot of fun! For most of us anyway. Both Marc and I won a door prize - a gift certificate to Locos (which we've already used) and a gift certificate for a cone at Ben and Jerrys (which I will use asap!) And both dogs got some treats before heading home to sleep the rest of the day.
