[NAGDU] Participating in a 5K walk/run?

[Tracy Carcione]

5K isn't all that far, especially if a dog is used to a good, long walk.  It
shouldn't be too hot this time of year, either.  
You could bring some water, and a folding dish, in case the dog needs water.

I remember participating in charity walks with my dog years ago.  Other
people got all in a steam because those of us with dogs bounded along at our
usual brisk speed, and some of the sighted people thought all us blind folks
should all stay together.  But, since some of your group will be running,
that shouldn't come up.

Hi everyone,

My husband and I have the opportunity to participate in a 5K walk/run in
April. We would not be running, but we're wondering if any of you have
walked in such an event with your dog? We will have friends participating
with us, and we would ensure that someone would be walking that we know.
Andy has been partnered with his dog since July 2017, and they walk
approximately 3 miles to and from Walgreens multiple times per week. I won't
have my dog prior to the event this year, but I'm curious as to your
thoughts myself for future reference.

Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend!

 

Best wishes, Miranda
