Hi! Well, I've been moving thru the last two days low keyed and predictably. This morning I enjoyed my walking group and we walked for 1 hour and 15 minutes.....hmmmm, not sure how many miles that is, but it was very enjoyable. Half the walking time I spend talking to others around me, and half the walking time (usually the trek back to the car) I listen to my Blackberry App Pandora tailored to my favorite music. Tomorrow I'm going to join my walking group at a local tennis court to play PickleBall......I'm going to try this game out and what it's all about :) I'm hoping to snap some pictures of this game too to show you what it's all about.
This afternoon I napped on the sofa and watched TV, okay, maybe some internet surfing! :) OH, and I mailed out the paperwork to get Jake certificate for passing the "AKC Canine Good Citizen" test that he passed with flying colors last Saturday at the Animal Rescue League PetStep pet walk event. I had to mail in $8 with the form to get the certificate, and then I'll get the AKC tags for this collar. He loves to brags about his accomplishments......okay, maybe, I brag about his well-doings too! OH, and, you won't believe this, Jake can now have (I had to Google this word) "post-nominal letters" after his name. Don't shake your head yet. I would like you to meet Jake, CGC. Nice ring to it huh, before you write me off as Crazy! HA!
And then tonight, Jake and I hopped in the car and off we went to see Zoey. We met up with Zoey at a local PetCo store and we had a good time exploring the store and saying Hi to other dogs. At the store Zoey's Mom told me all about another dog event coming up next Saturday: Walktoberfest at the Budweiser Plant in Merrimack, New Hampshire. Hosted by the Humane Society for Greater Nashua. There will be a morning dog Walk-a-Thon followed by a day of fun, food, and entertainment for the whole family, including dogs. Click

Hello! :) Today was a rainy day, so we waited and waited for the rain to let up a tad to head over to the Humane Society for Greater Nashua Walktober Fest that was being held at the Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) plant in Merrimack, New Hampshire! I had to carry Jake the whole time we were there because it was very muddy since most of the vendors were set up in the field off the walkway. That was okay with me as long as Jake's paws didn't get dirty and at 8 pounds he was easy to tote around in my arm. I'm thinking of getting one of those pet tote bags to carry him in, but I'm thinking the training for him to stay in that thing would cost me about a bottle and a half worth of aspirins. Anyways, we seemed to of missed some of the events today including the benefit walk and some of the competitive shows such as the Disc Dogs (no, not a musical group, lol, dogs chasing a flying disc and jumping up and catching it in the air). There were alot of vendors there and we picked up a couple of freebies alot of way, like a chip bag clip, canned food covers, and some insurance company was passing out pedometers (I can use that when I go walking with my walking group). Zoey's Mom and Dad went earlier in the day and texted me to say they were leaving since they all were soak and wet from the rain. We will have to catch up with them again soon :) I got pictures today......yeah, of course I did.....
