Today Cedar and I joined 1,200 other people with their dogs in the Greenhill Humane Society Bark in the Park 2.5K Run. I took Trask, then Koyuk in previous years. This year was Cedar's turn to be an ambassador for the breed. Our team, the Waggin' Walkers, was made up of classmates and raised over $1,100 for the fund raiser.
Sassy - from Trask's class.
Wendy, one of our instructors, with Team Dachshunds minus the sled.
Jan, our other instructor.

A small part of our team assembling to go. Sally from Koyuk's class had a Jockey on her back and her person was dressed in her derby finest (plus a rain coat.)
The start of the race. We were a good 10 minutes after the official start before we even crossed the starting line.
A kind lady agreed to use my camera and take pictures of Cedar and me.
I couldn't decide which I liked best so here are all three photos she took.
Cedar was so calm and well behaved in the chaos...
She was fast though. We finished several minutes ahead of anyone else in our group.
