Okay, so the Dog Guide was loads of fun. :3 This year I went the more scenic route, hiking through the woods with two other dog owners. Others mostly took the highway route, but this way was way more fun and the dogs LOVED it. They were SO well behaved, I was so proud of them. They were off-leash and normally they don't like the dogs being off leash at the end spot because of fights that could break out, but my dogs were so good. I wish the walk was longer, but.. Meh. :/ The hike was sohard @_@ You never really realize how out of shape you're in until you scale some of those hills @_@ Ouch... I got some nasty cuts from scraping against branches, and I twisted my ankle quite badly, and now it's swollen >:

BUT in the end we raised about $1500, which is AWESOME because there aren't a ton of people available for walking, especially on a Sunday (fucking church-goers), plus a lot of people went to participate in Relay for Life, so I can understand not wanting to walk anymore.

Although, in my opinion, I think the Relay for Life stuff is pointless.. I have NO faith that the money is actually going to find a cure. I mean... There's no money in a cure, now is there? Millions of dollars is raised all the time to find a cure for cancer, and we have made minimal progress. If there was a cure, the money flow would stop. I loathe greed.

However, every dollar we raise goes towards the Dog Guides (aside from covering costs like rewards for walkers who raise certain amounts of money). These places that raise and train these dogs get absolutely no government funding, so they rely on our donations.. So I'm happy that we could raise a fair bit of money ^_^
