Barktober Fest!
Barktober Fest 2011 5-mile race about to begin!
assembling the finish line in Egypt Park, which is right next to Lollypop Farm.
Runners warming up next to the "Barking Lot," which is where runners can leave their dogs while they race.
Lollypup and Kitty O'Cat entertaining the runners before we start.
Paul from PCR Timing giving final instructions for the timing chips at the start line.
On your mark, get set, GO!
Lollypup and Kitty O'Cat practicing for the winner
Karen Blodgett is the overall winner with a time of 30:18.9!!!
After the 200+ person race, time to go to the festival portion of Barktober Fest and the award ceremony
You can't have any event without a bounce house in Rochester. I have to say that these are some pretty impressive bounce houses.
MERCY THE MINI HORSE!!! (For those who watch Parks & Recreation, our love affair of Mercy is very similar to Lil' Sebastian)
Dog agility demonstration!
The band rockin' out.
It was a great day for the animals as we were able to raise $122,600. A big, awesome "thumbs up" to Karen for pulling this off. THANK YOU to all the volunteers who poured countless hours into creating Barktober Fest. GREAT JOB to all our vendors and sponsors that made the race possible by providing materials. THANK YOU to all my co-workers for assisting with volunteers, getting volunteers to the right places, accounting, troubleshooting, and so very much more. And THANK YOU to my friends and family for your generosity and support. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Chalk Mike In Moon Boots!
An original chalk on papa driveway piece by Tachel. Note: It is near the "Poopie" graffiti, which will never wash away. That will boost the re-sale value of the house.
Self-portrait
MOON BOOTS!!! Marianne had quite the $3 find at a garage sale. A find that almost killed the entire family (or at least put them in the E.R.). Unfortunately, I am too big to use them and I really can't lose more weight without jeopardizing my health...
I can't wait until she uses them to jump off the diving board...
Here's Dock playing with his favorite toy. He is 2 hours of sleepy peace and 15 minutes of chaos. That you can count on. We'll see how he does after he gets neutered tomorrow...
BARKTOBER FEST 2011 is on September 24th in Egypt Park (next to Lollypop Farm) and I'm on The Dirty Dogs team. So, please support me (and the homeless and abused animals of Lollypop Farm) by going to http://lollypop.kintera.org/ba

FARM DAY AND "I'M SO EXCITED I COULD SCREAM!"
We got to babysit Tachel (Rachel) last Saturday, which was also Farm Day at Lollypop Farm!
Along with our great volunteers, I had to find places for everyone to park. Sorry if you had to go down Victor Road last weekend and there was a backup...
Hayride featuring Russ!
Tachel the cat
Megan and her pet Tachel
Bounce House!
It's been a while since I did a sneak photo attack on the wife...
Storytelling and Tachel was right up front until she wanted a hot dog.
Burgers and hot dog picnic with the horses
Lots of grillin'
My favorite vehicle to direct traffic for...
Adrienne, Lollypop's Communications Director, trying to convince Pickles to come down.
You know, at no other job would this be considered a part of a normal day. Pretty awesome. Joanna walking around with a pig that just got out of surgery because it had some kind of stomach issue.
MORE KITTENS! So, pick out the one's you want to adopt and come on down!
That's about it for now. Just planning to watch some Detroit Red Wings in the playoffs and try to finish up Team of Rivals. Fix Megan's car too. Then there's the whole house-hunting thing. Some other stuff too. Anyway...
