A balm for sadness

[intertext]

Natalie, the woman who runs the daycare/boarding place that I take Robinson, organized a team to take part in a local fundraiser for the SPCA. Specifically, we were raising money for the Wild Arc wildlife rehabilitation center that the SPCA operates here.

It was a beautiful day, and a lovely walk. Because we raised over $1100 for the SPCA, our team won some nice prizes and got our photos taken - maybe in the paper tomorrow! In case we're not, or for those not lucky enough to live here in Victoria, here we are



That's me (of course) with Robinson on the left, then Natalie and Junior, Natalie's husband Michael with his Irish Wolfhound Fergus, their friend Ray and Ray's dog (whose name I forget).

Clio was an SPCA cat, so today's walk was in her memory.

Oh, and you can see more photo-highlights of the event here.

That clean, clear air--long sleeves--what an absolutely stunning sight.

Aww! You guys are so adorable. I'm happy you raised so much money. Wild Arc is a great place, we have taken many an animal there to be rehabilitated, including an injured crow, a turtle that wandered into the highway and I'm sure some kind of small mammals as well. I'm glad they are being funded. All the dogs are gorgeous!

Good for you.

Robinson looks just like a dog I used to have, that was a rescue. We were told she was a Tibetan Terrier, but I don't think that was right. Is Robinson a Bearded Collie? (That's what I think our Trusty was.)

Cool. For some reason, though, I can't view the flickr pictures.

Congrats on raising all that money for such a good cause. I have to laugh at Robinson with his back to the camera! You'd never catch either of mine turning down free publicity!
