TouchNPaws: Paws in the Park

Paws in the Park
Escondido Humane Society Fund Raiser

Thanks to all the wonderful folks that sponsored team TouchNpaws we raised $1,300+ for the homeless animals at Escondido Humane Society! How wonderful is that???

TouchNpaws came in 5th place for fund raising. This was made possible by all our generous friends. Thank you, thank you and thank you some more.

You know. Raising the money was fun but the event was incredible. Hundreds and hundreds of people out enjoying a stunning day with their dogs. All the doggies behaved so nicely. I was amazed.

The morning started off with registration and prizes for our efforts. Then Tamilee Webb of "Buns of Steel" took us through what she called a "warm up" and what Steve and I called a "work out".

Tamilee has a sweet 3-legged dog and has the most adorable carrier for her.

There were vendors and snacks everywhere. Not only did I find a new market that has organic produce and vegan foods I want to try I also got a cute top and sundress for the hot Summer that is right around the corner. What more could a girl ask for?

Well a girl could ask for a kiss from an adorable Biker Dog named Chopper!

Then the walk began and it was a constant long line of people and their dogs walking for the homeless animals. Quite an amazing sight.

The start of the walk was marked by this massive balloon arch!

Steve and I walked with our Hairstylist, Erin and her husband Rob....and their beautiful Pitty girl, Tessa.

At one point we had to cross a bridge and Tessa wasn't too happy about that. Fortunately her Dad is a Fireman and had no problem helping getting her to the other side :-)

The day ended with recognition of the top 3 fund raisers and top 3 teams. And a Wet T-Shirt Contest for the dogs...of course!

On your mark.....get set....GO!

Gotta get the wet T-Shirt out of the bucket and get the shirt over the dog's head and their "arms" through and back to the start line to win.
