Whoa - it's August?!

My bad. I haven't posted in like... forever. The good news? SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!

Here's a few things to keep you on board (in no particular order) with the fast and furious impact Trot with Spot is making on the world.

DoggieDozenRaceFirst, I've completed 7 (seven, yes!, seven!) #DoggieDozenRaces of the promised 12, and it has been a blast. I've conquered some pretty serious terrain, and at times it has felt like perhaps quitting is an option. Fortunately, I'm (doggedly) determined to make an impact on the world for the benefit of dogs, so I kept going. The last race I did was at Stinson Beach and super fun (image left). I placed 5th out of 20 in my age group, so it was a great result. Check out the #DoggieDozenRaces page for ratings and links to all of the races to date so that you can do them yourself next year


Maddies Day AdoptionSecond, I work at the Humane Society Silicon Valley now, and got to work at their Maddie's Pet Adoption Days event at the end of May, where we helped find homes for 240 animals (for FREE) in 2 days, and every single dog at HSSV was adopted! In the picture right I am with one of my favorite dogs who was adopted. I am petting her new sister, and they have matching white paws. Truly inspirational weekend! I was the lead on the marketing team for this effort, so it was an all-around rewarding event. Can't wait for next year!

Third, this update is what I lovingly like to call my Foster Failure. Prior to the Maddie's Day event, I took on a foster puppy with a broken leg. She is truly one of the cutest and sweetest creatures I have ever met, even if she drove me a little crazy because she was confined to a crate for most of the day while she healed. Well, you know what happened? My mom fell in love with her too and ADOPTED her. I'm talking about someone who grew up not liking dogs finding love in a 9 lb ball of energy and cuteness. Her name is Paisley, and she is great (and will definitely be coming on some runs in the future)!

Hi! I am super cute and love to lay in the sun :)

 There's lots happening in the future, so stay tuned for more updates. Happy Friday!
