On August 6th... I was up and at em at 6a.m. and at the James O. Breen Community Park... ready to take a bite out of cancer! It was the 3rd Annual Bark For Life. I wanted to enter both our pups... but Adam was out of town that weekend, and I knew I wouldn't be able to control both of the little stooges myself. They are a handful. So I simply just volunteered my time, setting up, taking down, and entertaining the four legged friends I met.
We ended up raising our goal of $5,000 dollars for the American Cancer Society-Kane County.
So, we were extremely excited.
I fell in love with this Great Dane. I have never had the privilege of being near a Great Dane in my life, and I thought he was just magnificent. The tips of his ears reached the middle of my chest.
Aren't they just gorgeous? The tan one is a therapy dog, and is so gentle!!! The black one is a puppy and still isn't aware of his size, accidentally knocking down a toddler!
Our turn out wasn't the greatest as it rained cats and eh hem, dogs, the night before and was a very wet day. But it was so fun, and for such a good cause.
I hope to get a little more involved next year, and to possibly hook up with the animal shelters in the area. My idea was to hold an adoption and raise $ for cancer research. 2 causes near and dear to my heart. That way we can get the animals out of cages for a day and hopefully get them homes.
I'm such a dreamer!
