Mighty Texas Dog Walk

The 11th Annual Mighty Texas Dog Walk was held downtown on Saturday, April 11, 2009. In addition to attempting to break the Guinness Book of World Records title for “Largest Dog Walk” (which is currently set at 10,272), the Mighty Texas Dog Walk is an event held each year benefiting Texas Hearing & Service Dogs. We love participating in this!!

Of course the Big, Black Dog Brigade was in attendance!!

And we're off!
Susan, BooBoo & Coco are ready to go as well!

Half way there!
Eric helped a man & his seeing eye dog. He told us that this was his first time out in a public place with that many people.
If you've read "Awesome Afternoon" you know that Wallace likes to make his deposits at the most inopportune times. Here he goes again in true Wallace fashion...
little dogs = little legs
Coco & BooBoo hitch a ride on their mom

My mom with her baby, Wallace
Me with Percy & Wallace
Nicola consoles a very tired Simon
And Eric & I ... ready to go home for a nap!

Dogs crossing the finish line:

8,333!

Wow! That's a lot of dogs!!

Nearly double last year’s total, but still short of the World Record. Looking at the dog bowl as half full, our progress is amazing. With the awesome turnout we had this year magnified by word of mouth, next year’s win should be in the bag!
