2nd Adventure

I think I forgot to mention that Marty and I went on the Walk for Animals again this May 7th.  What a difference a year makes.  I weigh . 5 oz more than the first time we walked, weighing in at 3 . 8#s and it is solid muscle!  I've been working out a lot too.

Marty and I took the shuttle bus to the humane society, getting there 2 hours early.  We walked all around, me on a loose leash while Marty looked at things that were for sale.  We got a bottle of free water and a nice fresh banana to snack on before the walk began.

We sat down while folks were on the stage talking about fundraising and the walk and then off we went joining hundreds of people and their pets.  It was so much fun!  Like last year I had my picture taken many times and I am sure I was again the smallest dog there.

We made it to the half way point, the turn around, and had more free water and some free snacks before starting the walk back.

It had rained during the night but the morning air was hazy from the forest fires in Canada.  Lucky for us the wind came and blew the haze away before we began our walk.  The day was beautiful!

When we got back to the humane society Marty and I walked around until she found something we would like to eat. After our little lunch we walked around to the different booths picking up free things and trying to win some other free things.  Marty didn't buy anything but I got a lot of free treats in the bag she was carrying.

Last year when we got home we went to bed because we were both worn out totally.  This year Marty lay down for a nap and when the phone rang she got right up to answer it in the little birds room.  While she was on the phone she saw that her little lovebird SunKissed was ill and she rushed off to the emergency bird vet.  She came home without SunKissed and she cried and cried.  Seems SunKissed was a very old birdie, 16 years old, and he was dying of old age.  I'll bet that he would have died during the night if Marty had not rushed him off to the birdie vet.  She was very very sad.

That was my second big adventure.  I would like to do this walk every year.
