First Five

Posted on April 14, 2012 by abbi

Xena and I headed over to the trail for a run this morning. The first mile was a little clumsy but she got the hang of what we were there for very quickly. I’m pretty sure there was a huge smile on my face the entire time as well.

The time was flying by and pretty soon we’d already run 2.5 miles. I wanted to take it easy with her since it was her first run so we turned around at this point. Not bad for a sweet dog who has spent most of her life in a kennel. Of course, a temporary home at Better Days Animal League is certainly better than her original fate from the breeder/owner who was going to drown her and her sister when he could not get rid of them as puppies.

Five miles complete.

She was happy.

Streching, post run. It's important! 🙂

I was happy.

Now, she just needs a home and someone who can take her for lots of regular runs (or walks!).Till the next run…

First, a thank you to Emily for designing a logo. I absolutely love it and look forward to having a uniform image to begin promoting the program. The B&W version:

Second, an e-mail address specifically for Miles and Mutts is now available: milesandmutts@gmail.com. Please contact if there are any questions.

Third, dog run on Saturday (just me (Abbi)…and one dog!).

Fourth, be sure to like the Facebook page. A link is in the upper right hand corner of the page or here.

Forming the Pack

Posted on April 1, 2012 by abbi

Currently, Miles and Mutts is working to start a program to run with shelter dogs and is evaluating potential runners. I spent time today getting to know of a few of the potential dogs who would be able to go off site with others. These two sisters would definitely love a running buddy! They are easy to handle and I look forward to trying a real run with them. Of course, it would be even better if they find a home before I have the next opportunity to try running with them.
