What to report.....Okay- first today was the Long Island Marathon weekend- and I had a lot of friends running that marathon- half marathon- as well as other marathons all over!......In fact, Dr Robert Monaco, DVM ran the LI Half Marathon after training with his faithful companion, Jake (yes, companion of the four legged kind!) Dr Monaco is the author or a great book called "ER to PR- Veterinary Medicine on the Run"

In fact he had a story written about him in the local paper, I just had to share this with you all- it is inspiring for anyone and everyone to get moving!......And hey, you can see his best friend pictured in the story!

He will be participating in the NYC TRI in July so go on in to Central Park and cheer him on as well as Scout and myself who are doing the Doggy Dash!
As far as the week being "Be Kind to Animals Week!" you can do a few things to be kind to our companion friends:
1- try a Meatless Monday
2- Get Your Leash On!
Which will be kind to your companion, yourself and this month other animals at the Kent animal Shelter- a WIN- WIN- WIN- and what the heck WIN! situation there.
Don't forget about our fundraiser for the shelter that helped me find my furever home!
You can help us help them out (did I just go all Jerry Maguire on you all there?!?!?).....anyway click on these links and you can buy our book- in fact, we will start instead of just the month of May- we will extend it from April 15 to May 24th and with every book sold we will donate a portion of the proceeds to Kent Animal Shelter......
