There were so many beautiful dogs there and dog people are just the nicest bunch of people ever! The walk was held at Yokuts Park which sits on the edge of the mighty Kern River. In this first mosaic I put a couple of pictures of the river. It's really full and flowing right now because of all the rain and run-off from the snow in the mountains. It was a beautiful, sunny, windy spring day. I even got a little bit of a sunburn!
Here's Chorizo and me in the top right and April and Chorizo in the bottom left.
Chorizo took third prize in the costume contest. She was dressed as a Sundae...a Chorizo Sundae! Here's some random pictures of all the people and their doggies!
It was a lot of fun and hopefully there was a lot of money raised!

Looks like a beautiful day for a terrific event! Love the Chorizo Sundae :)
ReplyDeleteLynn at Cottage and Creek -I hope your weather warms up soon too. Even though I did get sunburned it was a glorious day!
ReplyDeleteCarol @ There's Always Thyme to Cook - We were lucky the weather was gorgeous. If it had been last weekend it would definitely have been rained out! Chorizo was quite the hit with her Sundae outfit!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day for a walk. And I hope lots of funds were raised.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear about people and their doggies together in a Walk for a very good Cause. You were lucky the weather was favourable.
ReplyDeleteChorizo is naturally 'sunburnt', and as usually steals the show from anyone else.
What a great way to support a good cause and to spend time with your daughter. Love that costume!
ReplyDeleteA great day for such a worthy cause. Your little Chorizo is so cute as a sundae.
