tailrunners dog run 2010

after our relatively late night last night, i got up at 3:45 with just less than 2 hours of sleep to get luc to the dogrun at MOA on time today :) he was sooo excited that we were leaving the house, not knowing where we were really going... got even more excited when we picked up twinpopbro, and was just overwhelmed with the 300 doggies at the run!

here's luc all ready with his yellow bib and race number 063!


while waiting, he sniffed out other dogs passing by... here's another male lhasa with dyed ears and tail (hihi)...


there were lots of other cuties around like this giant maltese/lhasa or something.... the owner has no idea what it is!


english bulldog


chowchow


obese lemon beagle


some looked like serious runners!


like this dog too - which was the dog that suddenly took luc by the neck and lifted him! i thought he was gonna bite his head off! :( sniff!!! :( luc is fine though and didn't seem shaken about it. (this dog won one of the race caterogies by the way. ugh!)


on the otherside, some just kinda sat around looking cute - this shih-tzu looked so tired, but it didn't even attempt to walk or run- haha!


some came really prepared in outfits....


and doggie backpacks



i think luc wants one too (hehe)


luc's new "friend" for the day was natasha, suzette's pretty golden retriever who ran the 1.5k with us :)


awww


here's suzette with natasha :)


reminded me of luc's first dog walk when he was only over a year old - we were with suzette and maggie! aww!


and with derek and milo. both milo and maggie are both gone now :( sniff :(

(and luc just looked bigger, fatter, furrier then!)
