Quick Hello

Hi Friends,

In taking a quick study/ work break I wanted to say thank you to all of the donors so far.  Some of you I am very close friends with, and others I have never even met.  The support is amazing and I know it'll help me stay motivated when my legs are screaming at me around mile 20! :) Training is going well, and we are officially 9 weeks away from the marathon.  Long enough to gain more preparation and more mental stamina. If you are just reading this blog for the first time, the very first post explains why I feel compelled to give back so much. 

To put it simply, our dogs bring us great joy.  And for the time being, they are the closest thing we have to children.  Rarely does a phone conversation with my best friend go by where we don't share a story about our dogs (hers also being a rescue). Often we discuss dog health issues, or funny things that happened recently.  Apparently Finley, my BF's dog, has learned to open the back door to let herself in (clever little thing).  And it is after these conversations that I realize the impact these little furry animals have on us.  In being able to assist the rescue efforts of BTRNC, I hope to aid in making this joy of dog parenting happen for a few other humans, as well as Bostons.  This morning I was telling my husband that I am glad we were the lucky family to get to "recycle" Bob, and I am sure like most other rescue families you always wonder about the previous life your dog led. The one thing that is for certain is that these "recycled" dogs are able to find caring homes because of BTRNC.  And to me, that is a very worthy cause.
