My Mommy ran the Chicago Marathon in 5:30:14 on Sunday to raise moneys for PAWS Chicago. I’m just a little dog with no tail, so I couldn’t go along, but Daddy saw this corgi watching the race at mile 18.
Here is Mommy running up the hill at mile 26. She is wearing the light blue hat:
Mommy also saw more doggies after the race at the PAWS charity tent. Here she is with two PAWS doggies. Mommy says she looks goofy.
When Mommy got home, she was tired and stiff, so I tried to be good and not do too many jumps on her. I licked her ankles though. Mommies taste good, especially after they have been running!
Mommy gave her medal to the Molly. The Molly is a shelter doggie, and when we all learned that she had cancer, Mommy dedicated her race to Molly.
Mommy has raised a little over $500 for PAWS Chicago and has until November 1, 2009, to try to reach her goal of $600. So you can still help by donating here!
Ty I wish I could help Mommy but I have 20 cats here that I have rescued and so don’t have any extra money. Tell your Mommy she is terrific to do that. Good job
So, I’m trying to find Team Paws Chicago pictures from this year’s half marathon, and my search for images on Google led me to this blog with pictures of my dogs from last year’s full marathon. Cobber is on the left and Heidi is the GSD wearing the finisher’s medal. I’m so happy to have found this and that you posted it.
Hi John! I’m so glad that you found this! We were curious about who the dogs were and their names. Thanks for bringing them to the PAWS tent!
