Strut Your Mutt

I think this is my favorite fundraising walk so far. It’s very well organized, plenty of parking at Tilles Park and checkin (I registered online) had a very short wait. For my $ 30 donation I received a bag, a shirt, a realllly nice portable water bowl from Purina and coupons for a couple of businesses. Bonus, they added two doggy bags for picking up after my pooch. Now if only we could teach all owners how to use them!
Very large area set up at the end of the walk (we cheated and hit them up before walking, to avoid crowds) with local pet related businesses and lots of friendly people to give my foster dog some attention. He adored walking around and meeting everyone. All the dogs seemed friendly and *most* owners were really good about controlling their pooches. Friendly tip — events like this aren’t the greatest places for retractable leashes. Please don’t let your dog wander and then get ticked off at me for tripping over it.
Starsky got some great exposure in his «Adopt Me» vest, we picked up some great coupons and he both got his nails trimmed for free (with a dremmel no less!) and a temporary tatoo on his rear end. We had a great time and my energizer bunny of a dog was exhausted by the end — see the picture!

Big dogs, small dogs, furry dogs, curly dogs… They were all here and struttin’ their stuff!
What a wonderful event and for a good cause. If you are a dog lover, mark your calendar for next year because you and your dog should be here!
There were lots of vendors pertaining to anything and everything your dog might need! I really liked how they talked about AVID chips. Soooo necessary if your dog gets lost and the easiest way to get him/​her back!
I especially enjoyed seeing the dogs with what I call colored Mohawks… A stripe of paint where a Mohawk would be…
The event was very well organized and there was plenty of parking.
Again, if you are a dog lover and didn’t make it this year, mark your calendar!!!
