Marin Stables & Trails Ride & Hike-A-Thon

Today, I participated in a Ride/Hike-A-Thon for Marin Stables and Trails. They have a public outreach program in the form of educational, therapeutic and mentoring programs for adults and children that involves horses and the environment. A great cause!
Tell ya what. Crash and burn. I really haven't much to say right now except one thing: "What exactly, were my pawrents thinkin'?"

Here's a collage of what was goin' on when we arrived at 7am. Coffee and yumzers for the peeps. And for me? Nottin!!!!!!

I got to watch the biggest doggers I ever saw get groomered and pampered, then an horrific thingamoboboober put in their mouthies. Uccchhhhhh!!!! And then.... if you can even think of it, an ginormous packeroonie thrown on their poor backies. All this while Dad and Mommers was watchin' and drinkin' coffeees.

Okay then, we followed the big guys toward the trail and pass these ones making some kind of yumzers chicken and who knows whatzers. Smells amazing! Hope I get to have some!

Uh oh. Now I get outfixtured with this backpackerooni thing. The indignity of it! Two bottles of water, snackies, poopie baggers and a clothie camp bowl. I can feel my spine compressing.

Actually, (gotta tell the truth) Momma's been practicing all week, so I'm starting to get used to it. I now know that it gets lighter as we go hehe!

Resting on the trail with my fave dadpeep!

When we reached the highest elevation, I met Roscoe, a Bull Mastiff, who should meet Mango. He and his mom would ensure that we wouldn't lose our way "home."

Hi Roscoe!

And here we are not only on our way "home," but greeted with love at Marin Stables!

Then Mom took me to see if our pal, Sharon, had arrived. There was a weird spotted horse flying around in the air. It scares the pants off of me (if I wore them hehe)!

Time to go into guard mode to protect us all from certain disaster!

Yummers food, drink and dancing! Man! Was the music ever pawsome!

Some of the riders had come from faraway lands and had to leave. We sent them off on their way with big cheers!

And when we finally left to find our cars, we passed this truck, loaded with half a baker's dozen of Khyras. You can't see them all, but there were eight Sibes in the back. And all ready for furever homes. Anyone?

Momma wants to express heartfelt apologies for not having visited for a while. She's been up to a lotta work and duties and loves ya all and will try to catch up before the weekend's out. But hugs from me, Sammie. More adventures tomorrow that you won't be able to believe!
