That’s up to the contest overlord. As financial backer of the contest…. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? No amount of help will be refused!

BTW in light of the blizzard we are currently getting, it might be hard for staff and volunteers to get to the kennel. If you live near the 7 corners kennel, Sunday would be an excellent time to volunteer and earn some game points. We plan to wake up and walk our hogs, and then try to get over there in the morning.

Couldn’t do it, but I am going to try to get by today. But really I’m only posting for this: “walk our hogs”?

The white one is my dog “NOTORIOUS P.I.G.” He is a Jack Russell Labrador. Yeah. Tenacity of a Jack; appetite of a lab. Hence: PIG.

Oh, and muscly, it’s on. *

The only way to not be able to play is to not go walk doggies.

Seriously, just post up her walks with pictures (and either make up a fun name for her or tell me her real name) and I will put her on the board!

Rode over and walked three doggos late yesterday afternoon.

Buddy:

Noah I had walked before. He’s a big, gentle galoot, but the difference this time was that he discovered that trees are where squirrels run to, so now he wanted to go through the snow to check out every tree. What the hell, my shoes were soaked anyway.

Kipper was a beast of a puller who about yanked my shoulder out when he suddenly decided to jump a snowbank and go to the parking lot. He had scars and stitches on him; I hope it wasn’t because someone was using him as a fighter.
He definitely had some pit bull in him, but his nature toward me was generally sweet even though I could barely control him with the cycling shoes and the ice.

Buddy was just as sweet at the picture makes him look. That’s a take-home dog right there. Be well, Buddy.

But, for me, that seems to be the opposite of not really easy.

You should come out with me and walk a doggo like Buddy. Then, on the forum they’d say, that SteveO’s heart grew three sizes that day; true love for the animals came through, and SteveO found the strength of 10 cyclists, plus two.

So I can bike over, i left a pair of old boots in the room behind the office. Just label that they are yours if you do that.

Thanks for the offer, but nothing a bit of HTFUing couldn’t cure.

Will do, although I’m starting to think this is one of those things she talks about but never gets around to. Like taking her gravel bike back to Bikenetic to get the disc brakes to stop rubbing.

No sense ruining good shoes. And, ah, you would not want to drop Kippers leash! :rolleyes:

Plan on riding over tonight and trying to get a coupla walks in before any snow arrives. I doubt this can compete with beer and happy hours, but it’s an open invite to various and sundry notorious animal dislikers on the forum.

[musclys]

Rode over this morning at 7 am and walked Roscoe, Penny, Mochi, and Chloe. Roscoe might be newish; a really good boy.

Next time I’m taking Bob’s advice and leaving some shoes. Even though the roads were pretty clear, the parking lot was an ice rink.

In the room behind the office is an old desk. The desk is an old metal thing with a shelf under neath. There is where my boots are craftily stored. Otherwise, just dont store your shoes with the chew toys

I am going to try to head to the kennel at noon to do some training of dogs. And then this evening we do “closing” so we will be there caring for the dogs. Stop by.

Rode over to walk three doggos last night (ran into Fast Friendly Guy on the way). It was snowing when I left, which was very nice once I got off Roosevelt/Sycamore and didn’t feel like I was gonna die. (Bike lanes mostly covered with snow, so when I was riding up Roosevelt on the way over, a driver laid into his horn right behind me, and he duly received my middle finger in response.)

Buddy:

I had walked Dixie before, and she’s still a sweetie. Demeter was too scared to venture out into Eden Center for a walk; she actually pulled back to try to get out of her collar, so we just did a few rounds on the snowy spot outside until she did her business. She had apparently been adopted and returned. Buddy is still the best, but he did seem a bit more nervous this time; he needs a forever home.
