PetsWalk 2015

Ruby and I before the walk

Yesterday Ruby and I participated in PetsWalk, a fundraiser put on by the Kitsap Humane Society, with all of the proceeds going to them. I have participated for 3 years: the first year by myself, the second with Benjamin, and now the third with Ruby.

Benjamin and I last year

Yesterday was her first day wearing all four of her booties and she didn't mind them at all. I was pleasantly surprised.

On our way to registration, Ruby did something that she has only done once before, poop on concrete. Right there, on the sidewalk, for all to see or not see, and perhaps step on. I got up all that I could but man, that poop gets all in the cracks and crevices. Ruby did great being around all of the dogs and people. She hasn't really been around a lot of people, especially people and dogs before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. 

Ruby and I did the 1k walk and I think she enjoyed all of the smells and of course, being outside.

Who done it?

After the walk we explored all of the vendors. She got so many samples of food, treats, and toys... I could not keep her out of the goodie bag!

At the vendor event, while waiting for the award ceremony and costume and talent costume to begin, so many came up and asked to take a picture of her in her shoes.

Her complete costume

I entered Ruby in the costume contest and she did a wonderful job keeping her bows on...until the actual contest that is. When it was costume contest time, she was flinging them everywhere. Plus, the skirt was a bit big and kept slipping. I am going to do more planning and not just throw a costume together for her the night before.

I had a blast and I think she did too. We then proceeded to PetsMart to go food shopping and saw many people from the PetsWalk there. Too funny.

Until next year.....
