The 2019 Doggie Dash on Sunday, May 5th is that way. Not only can you get out for 1.5 or 2.5 miles with dogs from around the city, but you can do it for a great cause. Proceeds from this event go toward the Oregon Humane Society, a program helping to protect…
The Doggie Dash, benefitting the Oregon Humane Society, is one of my very favorite events. I’ve taken part in it the past two years and am planning to do so again this year. Participants can walk with their dog(s) or make it a solely bipedal event! There are always tons of cute dogs to admire. Kids are welcome, too. I’ve taken my small daughter each time and she loves to see all the doggies. I…

There aren’t words to describe the level of excitement Autzen had running Strut your Mutt with me on September 12th. I’m not quite sure what he loved the most, getting to…

(Photo courtesy of For the Love Pet Photography) I found my mecca! Running and dogs are my two favorite things. Add ice cream and it just can’t get better. As a local runner, I’ve always enjoyed finding that rare Portland 5k that…
So, I’m a cat person. I love cats. I do get a twinge of jealousy, however, when I see dogs running with their keepers … I wish I had a running buddy. Nonetheless, this lover of cats is a huge advocate for the Oregon Human Society (OHS) and the incredible work OHS does. I even adopted one of my precious cats from OHS nearly 10 years ago (she’s as fat and sassy as ever, too!).
