Camille's Poodle Doodle Chatterbox Blog
Hi, I'm Camille
~~~~~~~~~~~~
My human and I ran an official "dog jog" together. Since it's Mother's Day weekend, what better way to make her proud than run an event with her, right! Yes, indeed!
The man in our household grew up in Little Rock and as a very young child lived near MacArthur Park - specifically on Commerce Street. Their family home was torned down to build I-630. As a little boy, he played in MacArthur park - back in the day. He read in the newspaper about the MacArthur Park 5K and Dog Jog / Family Fun Run. When he showed it to my human - well, need I say more? Yelp, that would be my first event!
At the risk of sounding a tad arragont, this dog jog was only 3/4 mile and that's a cake walk for this poodle doodle. I'm up to running almost 2 miles - not yet ready for a 5K (3.1 miles) though. That's not the point, really. The point is that I ran the dog jog with my human and we did great!
It was a fun time - street food and music - people and doggies. And, 100% of the proceeds go to maintain MacArthur Park!
Of course, my human and I wore matching bandannas! I figured out why she let me wear a bandanna instead of making me wear a big bow. She didn't want to wear a big hair bow - I get it now! It's OK, though - indeed, she would look pretty silly wearing a big hair bow. On the other hand, I kind of look cute wearing them. Shhhh - don't tell her that I really don't dislike them as much as she thinks. However, bandannas are more comfortable and my preference.

This is neat...it is a carving and an actual tree...located on the grounds outside of the Arkansas Art Center and the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, MacArthur Park.
Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all Mothers,
