I know all of you are anxious to know the results of Dog-a-thon 2006…so here they are! On Saturday, The Humane Society’s annual “Dog-a-Thon 2006” fundraiser grossed $157,000 –exceeding last year’s results by about $35,000! Thank you so much — all you friends and family members who made Pierce County’s Dog-a-thon 2006 such a success. We love you!!! Lucy and I got bells and whistles (literally) for raising $500.00. This year was so much fun because Andrea and Buddy joined us — as well as Corey who took lots of photos which will be online for you to see pretty soon. Chica (Dan and Heide’s St. Bernard) won the “Biggest Dog” prize which consists of a medallion on a ribbon she wore proudly all day long.

There were lot’s of booths with freebies and info and the best freebie of the day was a red rubber ball from Mud Bay Granary — Lucy is absolutely obsessed with it. She likes it even more than Squeaky Mat that I purchased from Positive Approach for only $9 which was a bargain in itself. Basically anything that squeaks is good. Take that x 16 and you have one happy bulldog.

The walk was good, but we had to stop short (not the Costanza kind) to relieve Little Lucy who kept laying down by the side of the path every few yards. I bet we did about 3 miles. There was just too much excitement throughout the morning including all the people, dogs, contests and activities and she was exhausted.

The best part of the day was hearing we are $150K closer to no kill community status! With your continued support I know that The Humane Society of Tacoma Pierce County will reach its goal by the year 2008. Thanks again everyone who participated in supporting me and Lucy and the dogs and cats of Tacoma.
