David, Collin and I will be participating in our fifth Walk for the Animals sponsored by the Animal Humane Society on May 4th.  This is the 39th Annual Walk for Animals and is the largest event of it's type in the United States! 

Why we walk

We started doing this for our cat, Whiskers who lost her battle with cancer three years ago. And now we are also walking for Suzette Pearl, our gray tabbey who was adopted from the Golden Valley Location and crossed the Rainbow Bridge this February.  We wanted to do something to honor their memories and to help other animals like them from the Animal Humane Society have a chance at a great life!  If they werent adopted by us - odds were not great that they would have been adopted and possibly would have been euthanized to make room as kitty season was approaching.  Our remaining cat, Pepper also came from the Humane Society and our second Puggle; Lotus was a puppy mill rescue and benefitted from some of the services offered by the AHS.  She wouldn't be the great dog that she is today without their services.
