Tasha is a little ham for the camera for sure .

It was pretty informal really, they mail out pledge forms and you can go around and gather pledges from people or just pledge yourself and then on the day of the walk turn in the form along with any money you raised with people who pledged for you. There are prizes for people who raise the most (prizes donated by various businesses). Then we all just go on the walk, it starts at one park and the halfway point is at another park. There is a little bus that drives around back and forth and picks up people who can't make it the whole 5 miles.

Robyn, I actually pet that rottie and tried talked to his owner a bit but the guy didn't seem to interested in chatting. I was getting some strange looks snapping pics of various dogs too . I don't understand really someone not wanting to chat about their dog.

Once when Tasha stopped to greet the dobie, the owner automatically gave a response that she obviously has to give constantly: "Oh he's a sweetheart, he won't hurt anyone, he loves everybody." So I stopped and gave him some scritchies too.

Thanks all!
