This weekend we got to take advantage of a wonderful yearly event put on by the SPCA of Texas. It’s called Strut Your Mutt, a 3k and 5k walk alongside the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge in Dallas. Event proceeds help save strays and promote adoptions at local SPCA shelters. The SPCA also works tirelessly to end animal cruelty in North Texas, and find some beautiful animals their forever homes! We decided to load up Alvin and Hazel and truck over to Dallas for a nice Spring walk! Because Hazel and Alvin love to walk, but even more they love attention! Although Zeus has gone with use other years, this time he volunteered to hold down the fort. Zeus gets a little overwhelmed by crowds but got a nice peanut butter Kong to keep him occupied. Plus, aunt came and my parents who brought my younger brother, and their favorite son- Topper!… He’s a mini Schnauzer. I took a camera, and did one of the few things I have a talent for- taking pictures of random dogs! We hope you enjoy! And if your near Dallas next May think about coming out and strutting your mutts as well!
Loaded up, drooling all over the leather seats. We’re ready to roll.Okay, lotta dogs here. I think I’ll just stand back and quietly judge them for a moment. I’m done! Lets go!Alvin showing off for a couple of ladies. Hawt stuff, coming through!Hazel met a few new friends.
She’s out here networking! Hey is that a treat you have? I’ve walked for five minutes. I’ve earned it!Hazel discussing a possible venture capitalism project. Oh wait, do I smell donuts? Yeah, I’ll take one of those donuts. Look, I’m sitting and everything! Hazel and the Dallas skyline. Alvin looking for a chess partner. He’s just happy to be out of the house.
Look at this guy!
Thanks for the scratch!Ten minutes in and Topper was done walking. So, my Dad decided to carry him everywhere. This dog’s got it made in the shade. We actually found a Schnauzer smaller than Topper!Alvin dragging my aunt around. Plenty of water stations to stay hydrated. And they provided restrooms as well!We saw all kinds of dogs out in Dallas. Like these stroller dogs. And this other stoller dog. And…The rarest of them all…The shark dog!After we went out in lunch, and wait… Did Alvin pee on me?
“We’re back, Zeus! Did you miss us?”… “You guy’s went somewhere?”
