Bark For Life 2013

Hooray, or should I say Bark, for the American Cancer Society having a great fundraiser yesterday! Troy and I represented NORML at the first annual Bark For Life fundraiser, which was a fantastic time.
We didn't know quite what to expect since this was the first one, but there was a ton of people that registered. Much more than we originally thought. Along with music and food, there were about 10 vendors selling dog items.
Of course we had to buy pumpkin flavored dog treats! I love that these treats only have four ingredients instead of all fillers. A nine year old created the company with his Mom and was recently on the tv show Shark Tank. How cool!
As for our one mile walk I only did a quarter of since the sun was blazing down and it was 85 degrees. Since I still have my leg brace on I didn't want to push it and just went super slow around the field.

Our First Garage Sale

Our first garage sale was a success! Troy and I organized one on Saturday to help raise money for our team for Bark For Life.

We asked all of our friends and relatives to donate any items they no longer used. Surprisingly just between the two of us, we came up with alot of junk no one will miss.

Like this prom bobble-head frame?
Or this keychain. Not even sure if this is supposed to be a mouse or what?
The strangest things were found in my closet!

On Friday night we ran around setting signs up in the neighborhood. Then we organized all of our stuff into categories til late. After setting up the sale by 8am we let Cooper stay outside the whole day to greet the shoppers because really he doesn't get any attention at home ;)
