MS walk 2009

Today we did the MS walk. It's a 5k walk that raises money for the Multiple Sclerosis society.  As most of you know, my sister, Shelby, was diagnosed with MS about 3 years ago. She's been doing great but we need to do everything little thing we can to try to end MS!!  

It was a beautiful day in SD.  I even got a little sunburned. The walk was only about a mile from home so the puppy dogs and I hightailed it to the race site. John met us from having duty last night.

 
John and I each wore our orange shirts and each puppy was donning a stylish orange bandana with a little dedication note to their Aunt Shelly.  The puppy dogs were really good during the walk with all the crowds, loud noises, and general craziness. Mishka was definitely a little overstimulated with everything, but she calmed down around mile 3.  We had so many comments on how "well-behaved" our dogs were.  I have to say...it's nice to hear b/c sometimes we forget how lucky we have it with our pups. We have dog-sat 3 different dogs in the past month and you would not believe what these dogs did.....from stealing food off the counter to eating objects to having objects come out of places they shouldn't come out of.   Needless to say....I think we will stick with just the 3 pups we have!

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED MONEY TO THE MS SOCIETY!! MY SISTER AND I THANK YOU WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS!!!
