Dukey's Adventure Day 2

July 12, 2015-

While I miss my human pack tremendously the past day and a half, and will continue to do so....I am trying to make the best of it with my secondary pack here with Scout, Sandy, Candycane, and Benji, oh yeah, and Pam!

This morning Scout and Pam went to check out the course and conditions in Central Park for Scout's race, the NYC AMC Doggy Dash (www.nyctri.com/doggydash). But they got home in time to pick me up and take a ride down to cheer on the final finishers at the Thunder Run race here in Smithtown. I only walked about 3/4 of the course but I know if they allow me to run it next year I can give people doing the race a race for their money! Hopefully Terry Bisogno, the Long Island race announcer will be calling my name at that race next year! Oh, and I found out our GLIRC president was surprised to hear that they were not letting the dogs run the 5k and only the dogwalk at the upcoming race in Bethpage on August 22nd. Afterall the charity it is run for is the American Vet Dogs here in Smithtown, so stayed tuned as Mike said he was going to talk to the powers that be at the Guide Dog/ American Vet Dogs office! FINGERS CROSSED....that should be a good race.

Oh when my temporary pack members were in the city, I got to spend a good 45 minutes outside and in the gazebo running a muck and having fun! Pam has the AC on and will be opening the doggy door today so we have access to everything! I like to follow her around like a little puppy dog.

I owned this race scene today!

In fact, when we walked over to see everyone at the race I looked like just that and got all the oohhhsss and aahhhsss........Scout had to snatch a bagel or two to get noticed.......then again to come up to a dog with food in your hand, oh who are we kidding Pam needs to give us FULL attention ALL the time.....Lesson learned for Pam!

Checking my sideview mirror!

 Oh yeah as I drove down to the race, I made sure to always use my mirrors!




Like I said yesterday, size doesn't matter......and I think this photo proves it, I mean look at the size of my legs vs Scout's and I am right next to him......Bring it Scout! I can take you on anyday, anytime.....If Mike gets the powers that be watch Eliana and myself take you and Pam on and beat you into the ground! We'll probably have to start in the back of the crowd but it doesn't matter we'll take you down! Down to Chinatown!



I may be smaller than you but watch out I can take you on anyday! See you at the next race SCOUT!

Hey, your legs are a little longer than mine, and stop cutting me off,
Pam gave me permission to nip at your heels if you do that again!
 

Ok, so that is what I am up to so far in my day......I'm going to enjoy the outside and blog more for Mom and my crew to see what I'm up to tomorrow until then I know my family did AWESOME at their tri in the Cape because they are awesome athletes! Next year I will hide in your bag and no one will ever know I'm with you.....I'll train with you the next year to not be heard of seen! Deal?!?!??! I do love my pack here but I miss my family!

Until tomorrow,
have a happy tail waggin' day and have some good carbs to recarb with after the race- pasta dinner?!?!??!
tails wags to you all,
Dukey
