Calling all Mals!
It's that time of year again -- this year's Mighty Texas Dog Walk is April 11 in beautiful downtown Austin!
All profits go to the Texas Hearing and Service Dogs, a wonderful organisation that trains shelter dogs to assist people with a wide variety of disabilities.
The walk is only 3 miles long, and the "purpose" is to bring the Guinness World Record back to Texas – Beat the Brits! Current record: 10,272 dogs.
The t-shirt designed by Mauro Garza is always gorgeous, a collector's item. This year, the walk will not be competing with other events downtown, and it will have 6 water stops with wading pools, etc.
Info and on-line registration (save $5) http://www.servicedogs.org/dogwalk09/
It's always awesome when a bunch of Mallies walk together!! It's one dog per walker, but if extra walkers can be found, it's very cool to walk Mallies that are up for adoption ... The walk is earlier this year, for extra coolth -- a good thing for Mallies -- as are the wading pools!
Hope to see lots of happy Mallies there! I have a huge driveway that anyone with an RV is welcome to use....

Milk-Bone features sled dog
Have you seen the new "cover dog" on the Milkbone Bakery Bites Bacon Chip n Cheese flavor cookies? The packaging used to have a cartoon doggie on it, but now there's a mighty handsome sled dog with lovely dark brown eyes!!
Nice to see a happy snow-dog puppy exploited for commercial purposes ... It hasn't quite succeeded in subliminally talking me into buying the treats, but it does make me smile!
Btw, the Milk-Bone site prominently announces that none of its branded products are involved in the salmonella peanut recall -- for the simple reason that even their peanut-butter-flavored treats contain no actual peanuts ... That's nice, but we're not taking any chances -- have thrown out all our peanut-butter treats and don't intend to buy any in the foreseeable future! Yikes!
Good thing the doggies prefer jerky treats anyway ... and the cats prefer fish ...
