Run (and Walk) For Their Lives

PAWS is the local no-kill rescue shelter, and where we met Rudder (aka, the best dog ever!).  PAWS was throwing a fundraiser today - a 4K walk/8K run.  K and I headed over this morning with Rudder to do our part.  K did the 8K run, and Rudder and I did the 4K walk.

 

It was windy and more than a bit chilly on the Lakefront, but the event was a lot of fun and there were a ton of great dogs and dog owners there to support PAWS and animal rescue efforts.

Rudder met a bunch of new friends . . . 

And everybody had a great time.

  

All in all a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning.

In which I am thoroughly depressed as to how what was once the lunatic-fringe right has somehow moved solidly into the party mainstream.  How do these people manage to dress themselves in the morning?  I mean, seriously.  W.T.F.?
