K9 Cancer Walk Estes Park

Adventures in Pet Sitting

 

Wow! Last weekend Jim and I walked in the Morris Animal Foundation 2nd Annual Estes Park K9 Cancer Campaign Walk and had a blast. Of course the setting was spectacular, but the race was like few we had ever seen. Everyone lined up at the starting gate in an orderly fashion and when told to START there was none of that aggressive shouldering for position. We all just started walking quietly forward for about 500 feet before the first walker broke ranks and stepped to the side to pee. That was all it took. A 4 mile walk took hours for all of the "relieving" and sniffing and stopping to swim in the lake... Couldn't help but smile and realize that these dogs really knew how to run a race and how to compete in life. Go ahead and stop to pee if you have to, sniff and admire your surroundings and for Heaven's sake dip your toes in the cool clear water on a warm day and say ahhhhhhhhhhhh. None of them were mindful that they were walking with Cancer or their Pet Parents were walking in memory of a loved one that had gone on before them. We raised over $30,000 last Saturday to help make sure that we put an end to that early robbing of our best friends from our lives. In the meantime, we had one helluva good day!!
