Fun at the Mutt Strut

Hundreds of dogs with their owners + perfect weather + walking + diving + dashing + playing + shopping + eating = The 5th Annual Dearborn Animal Shelter Mutt Strut!


The Strut was a 1 mile walk with plenty of water stops along the way. Kramer and Wilma walked together accompanied by Kayla, my mom's dog who was visiting from Arizona. Kayla growled at most of the other dogs, Wilma started to drag her paws about 1/2 way through, and Kramer kept trying to get ahead of everyone. It was a fun walk!









The Ultimate Air Dogs were there and Wilma competed in 3 Splashes. Although her distance was only 3 ft 9 inches, she's jumping off the dock much quicker. I only had to lay on the dock and coax her in for 3 of her 6 jumps.
The Doggie Dash Du Lure was a new activity this year. The dogs chase a "rabbit" around a track. Wilma was a wild woman with this event! During Kramer's turn, Wilma pulled out of her collar and took off after the "rabbit". Then she had her own turn. Then she pulled away again and took off after another dog's "rabbit"! She was so intent on getting that "rabbit" that I had to leave in order for her to calm down.

After strutting, diving and dashing, all the dogs were tired.
