PAWS Walk!!

This morning was so awesome!! I participated in the PAWS Chicago Walk/Run for Their Lives with my doggie Zoe and my hubby! It was so great to see hundreds of dogs walking to raise money for their furry friends. The dogs may not have known the details of why they were walking, but there was a really uplifting spirit in the air and all of the dogs were walking and smiling from ear to ear!!! Our team was called Ruff It Up! and our goal was to raise $2,000. We raised $2,045!!!! We did it!!! I want to thank everyone who donated to our cause and in being so supportive! I have to admit, I am a softy, so I almost broke down with tears of joy multiple times!! I would get caught in moments of awe at what the day was all about. To see all the little doggie angels and their owners walking and running filled my heart up so much that it could burst! I have some short videos and pics to share with you. The first is of Zoe, my doggie, getting ready for the walk and a view of all the dogs surrounding us. The second video is coming up to the finish line!! The wind is pretty loud in the vid, but catch a glimpse of Zoe's smiling face!!! Thanks again to all of our wonderful friends and family who contributed! It was so worth it! In total, everyone that participated raised $277,653 for PAWS. Yeah!!!
