2010 Columbus Rescue Run


Each year PetPromise holds a 5K run to raise money for humane solutions of pet overpopulation. They fund sterilization clinics, shelters, and education. The cause is a good one that just about anyone could support.

Elly, Sammy and I attended. Elly to run the 5K, Sammy and I were there for the free bagels and ice cream. It is the first run I have seen where dogs accompanied their owners on the run.

We had a good time until balloons started popping and Sammy went into sheer panic mode. She hid under the bagel table and wouldn't come out.

Elly can in 59th place out of 430 women racers, completing the run in 30 minutes and 42 seconds.

Sammy was a bit confused why everyone was running when there were no balls being thrown.

Popping balloons AND a gentle leader - isn't that animal cruelty? Congratulations Elly - good time! J

Poor Sammy. At least her chosen hiding spot was very close to the food!
