5K for Abby
I did a good deed today. I volunteered at the local SPCA to walk one of their dogs. They have a “running/walking buddies” program. I signed up and am so glad I did. Not knowing what i was getting into, I made my way there this morning and was given Abby, a medium sized hound mix who seemed to be pretty old. They gave me a map of the 5K course and I was off. The dog was slow so it took us a little over an hour. But it was nice to be outside and helping this mutt and getting exercise all at the same time. I’ll defintely be doing this when I’m free on Saturday mornings. The only problem is that it’s at the same time as the local farmer’s market. I’ll have to figure that out – but I hope to have more doggie walking stories to report soon. I also think I’ll take someone with me next time as I’m not thrilled with the area which includes going under an overpass that seriously looks like a scene from Law & Order. I wish I could take all the dogs home though – that’s going to be a challenge.
