strutt your mutt logoThe First Annual Strutt Your Mutt fun walk!

The Strutt Your Mutt fundraiser for the Animal Rescue League was in conjunction with the Ankeny Summerfest. What a great time! It started in the early evening, so the temperature was comfortable. Gary and I packed all three Border Collies in the van to enjoy the activities!


Tom Colvin welcomes participants and sponsors, and gets the "best trick" and "owner/dog lookalike" contests started!

An advice booth run by a local veterinarian!

Part of the fun included agility demonstrations.

Wow! Portable dog grooming! Wonder if they'd groom Gary??

The Canine Craze Drill Team really strutt their "mutts"

The crowd takes in the entertainment!

Oh, yes - the dogs get plenty of opportunities to socialize!

The crowd grows as it gets closer to time to "strutt!"

Gary and the girls get ready for the walk.

We joined near the end of the pack, to give Lisa Marie a chance to calm down.

The Border Collies insisted on pushing to the front of the crowd. Here they pose by a sign.

Prissy told her new friend, Strutt, that she plans to come back next year!
