PAWS 5K

Megs participated in her first 5K.  As an alumni of PAWS we wanted to support what they are doing and part for the proceeds from the registration of the race goes towards them.

The start and finish was at Montrose Beach, so we left early so we could find parking and see what they had to offer at the booths.  We thought we saw the family that adopted one of her siblings in the parking lot, but we couldn’t find them at the park.

There were a lot of booths with free stuff for Megs, which she came home with a lot of treats and frisbees.  Before the 5K started they had an Alumni photo and there were a lot of dogs.  We met one of the people that spearheaded the rescue in Oklahoma and thanked her for saving Megs.  Megs came from there and we found out that they were housed in boxes in a high school parking lot and if they weren’t picked up they would have been euthanized.  We are an advocate for pet adoptions, for reasons like this, if you want a pet please go to a shelter and adopt, because your funds would help stories like these.

We lined up with all the other dog walkers and off we went going north from Montrose beach up to Foster and looped around.  Megs did very well, we were concerned that she would get too excited and would tug a lot on her leash.  She enjoyed the walk and especially the water breaks.  She met human admirers and lots of furry friends along the course.

We didn’t time our walk, but it was the longest walk that Megs has been on a leash.  It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the morning with our little girl and all the other supporters of PAWS.  She seemed to enjoy it and it will be one of our annual things to do with her.
