This past weekend was the Candler Park Fall Festival near our house. Josh and I decided that we would run the 5k on Saturday morning with our friend Jimmy who was coming into town as well. I then learned that "well behaved dogs on leashes" were allowed to run in the race. OF COURSE Hunny was then going to participate as well. Below is a picture just before the race. Hunny was all excited and ready to go along with all the other dogs and runners.
And then after about 1.25 miles Hunny decided that she was very tired and sat down. There was no getting her to move! I saw a water fountain for dogs in the distance in the park and convinced her to walk a little further. Here she is enjoying her water.
Finally, after we rested for a few minutes and got passed by all the runners who were on their way to the finish line, we decided to "cheat" and turn around to go back. Luckily the course backtracked so no one really noticed our elimination of the next mile. All in all I was very proud of Hunny. She is 9 years old and she walked about 2.5 miles in 40 minutes. Let's just say that when we found Josh and Jimmy at the finish line she plopped down and didn't move for awhile!
We had a great time and then later that Saturday USC beat up on Kentucky. It was a fabulous weekend when it was all said and done!

HAHA. I am laughing my butt off Sudds. "Well behaved dogs"---is Hunny on Xanax these days?
Hope you guys are well...you always make me laugh.

Hi Meghan! Just messing around on FB this morning while the kids veg out on TV. Somehow ran across your blog on someone else's blog, but have no idea how I really got here. Anyway, you look great - I'll check back in every once in a while. Enjoy your weekend!
