Weekend of Walking

A good majority of this weekend has been spent walking outside, which has been tiring but great exercise. It has also been spent with my dog, Taffy, and her new friends. Yesterday, (Saturday), we spent the day in Burnsville for the annual Woofer and Hoofer. It's a 2.5 mile walk put on as a fundraiser for the shelter that I adopted Taffy from, and it was a great success. Total, over $73,000 was raised for the shelter and their new building. $100 of that was what I raised. Taffy also made a new friend at the walk, my lab partner's dog, Boone. They were having lots of fun racing each other through-out the walk, and it ended in a tie. It was a lot of fun, and I got a canvas tote of goodies as a thanks for my fundraising! Inside, there were tons of coupons, free samples of dog food and treats, a travel water bowl, a dog leash, and more.

As I said before, today had more walking involved. Taffy and I went to Silver Lake to meet yet another new friend. A good friend of mine from forever ago in Kindergarten recently got a new puppy. Her name is Bo, and she is a teddy bear (mix between a bichon and a shih tzu). At first, Bo didn't know what to think about Taffy, but after walking for a little bit she was having fun chasing Taffy. They were both pretty pooped out after the walk too, so that was good. It's been a great weekend in the outdoors getting exercise and bonding with Taffy.
