Story
A MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who has made a donation towards this event. You've made a difference in helping abused / abandoned / unwanted dogs find a home and the vetenary care they need!
So here's a quick summary of what we did and why:
We – me, my mother, who kindly joined in the fun & games and Roxy, adopted in April 2010 from the Dogs Trust – took part in Waggy Walks, Finsbury Park in the pouring rain to raise money for the Dogs Trust who never put a healthy dog down!
We completed the 5k as Roxy is still a young'un (will be 1 on 04.12.2010) and taking part in the 10k would have been too much for her weee joints.
We knew this was going to be an experience for all involved – loads of other dogs, people, smells, action, noise... 2 humans attempting to stay dry whilst desperately trying to remain in control of one very young, overactive, crazy Choc-Lab-X-Collie who can't quite control her bladder when she meets people and hasn't mastered the concept of a lead yet – all taking place in the pouring rain...
The 'fun times' did roll but we prevailed and... WE DID IT!... needless to say the car was a welcome sight at the end.
Roxy captured the mornings events on her Pets Eye View Camera. The result... http://flic.kr/s/aHsjtJWwps
N.B. If you suffer from motion sickness, you've been warned, it's a giant blurr!
Thank YOU!
