Relay for Life

So on Friday June 20th I participated in Relay For Life, in Windsor, ON. I was on my Sister's Team. We were known as "the Mighty G's Cheering for a Cure". I was fortunate enough to raise $450.75 in pledges through my co-workers and customers. Considering that Windsor's economy is shit right now, I feel amazed and so blessed : ) I believe Missy said we raised close to or just over $3000 as a team. I worked 6AM to 2PM on Friday, then went to my Mom's to shower and tried to nap (Buddy thought I should be licked to sleep), so that did not happen! LOL Mom helped me by sewing the doggy's bandanna's, I decorated them, then off to the KOA I went. I was there until 330AM or so, after the thunderstorm hit, I had had enough. I was also up over 24 hours at that time. Can you believe I had to WAIT at customs for almost 45 mins? I was home just after 5AM, a full 24hrs since I left for work. It was a fun time, love the atmosphere, the lighting ceremony, and the time with family & friends. Here are a few photos from Friday night.

Windsor Greyhound Walk April 26th

Yesterday we drove over to Windsor to walk along the riverfront. It was for the Windsor Paws in Motion Walk to benefit Mi REGAP's senior and special needs greyhounds in their foster care program. They even have their own page on the website, Click HERE to see them. What a great time, My Mom, Dad, Jack & Buddy, and even Ricky showed up. Good Times!!

Saturday Morning I made Max a bandanna from an old shirt and printable fabric so he could represent Lucy. She really loved those walks with other greyhounds. It really brought out the diva in her. *giggles*
