Pre-Walk Post

This was a post I put up on Facebook the day before Strut Your Mutt 2012. Sept 21st.

So Em, listen here, I'm doing this walk. It's to raise money to help Street Dogs in StL. I'm walking in honor of you. I've spent the last month raising money, sharing your picture, your story, and your love, with anyone who would listen. I've raised nearly $2000 so far. It all goes directly to the rescue Em.

I am sick. I have a monster sinus infection, a monster bronchial infection, and the walk is tomorrow. Give me strength Em. I'm not missing this walk. I have felt you. I have felt you with me this whole time. I have felt you help me, and inspire people. I had felt your love, and your goodness. I miss you Em. I miss you every. single. day. I am trying to capture of bit of your spirit hun, and bring it back to me. Keep a bit of you in my life. This is my way. I'm walking dogs for this group. Ferrel pit bulls Em. They are so sweet. You would love them ♥ You really would. I am going to do laundry and clean cages, and walk dogs, and snuggle

 dogs, and do whatever I can. I am going to be in this group where I can immerse myself and watch the money we (you and me Em) raised work.

I made T-shirts. At least a dozen people are going to be walking wearing your picture. A picture of you and Dover. They're going to be helping to spread your love.

These are the babies we're saving 

I made this for the Stray Buffett. For those of you not familiar with Stray Rescue of St. Louis this is a little of what they do. Here is the text

"From establishing community outreach programs to working with the city's Circuit Attorney's Office to bring justice to animal abusers, Stray Rescue strives to make a difference in as many ways as possible. However, more than anything else the animals always come first. Stray Rescue works with street dogs, abandoned dogs, abused dogs, dogs left for dead, and dogs with no where else to go. Randy Grimm, founder of Stray Rescue of St Louis, and the team at Stray Rescue work hard to save dogs who have been treated in unimaginable ways. Not only do they feed them, they rescue them. They befriend these lost and forgotten souls. They gains their trust, and they brings them back. They give them food, love, medical attention, and training. Stray Rescue turns these lost, scared, abused, starved, souls into wonderful, loving pets. This is what we’re raising money for. We’re raising money, through Strut Your Mutt, for the team at Stray Rescue of St Louis to save dogs. We’re raising money for Randy and his team to help dogs in St Louis find their Emily’s. Their own forever home with a person who will always love them and take care of them."
