Striding for Stroke

It’s always important to help others and even better if you can enjoy doing it.

 

Yesterday we went on our trot to help Peninsula Stroke Association.  It was really exciting.  As well as the trotters, there were lots of humans on unmotorized human carriers, most with two and some with three wheels.  The guys on the three wheeled ones were lying down.  I like to take a lot of naps so I can see the advantage of riding one of these where all you have to do is stop and immediately be in the nap position.

 

There were so many humans that numbers had to be pinned to them so that they didn’t get lost.  We of course have the advantage of wearing tags, and when we were little our doctor pricked us with a big needle, after which if a special wand is waved over us it says where we live.  Humans should think about doing the same thing.  I would really not feel secure with a paper number pinned to me.

 

The day was a great success.   Our team, dressed in yellow body covers was made up of many humans whose brains had fallen out, some of whom were in chairs with wheels and their kennel mates came along to help out.  Our friends gave around 22,000 green dog biscuit vouchers to encourage us which we are extremely grateful for.  However, we still need a little more to reach our goal of 25,000.  If you would like to help us reach this goal, go to https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=55608 and it would make our tails wag really wildly and would help a lot more humans whose brains have jumped out of their heads.
