We got our flyer a few weeks before the parade, so we could save money for the pledges
Volunteers helped to check us in - we got a fabulous goodie bag, cooler, t-shirt, and cap
We pay homage to the sponsors
We arrived early (to get a shady parking spot for Gary) so there was plenty of time to stroll the riverfront
Priscilla wasn't planning to swim, but wanted to share the warning to Gracie, our swimmer dog

It's time to line up with the SOLA dog pack!
Oooh! time to line up!
There's our Dog Pack sign!
Priscilla prepares to herd others into the pack
Here we go! Get marching!
We head north in our packs
Woof!

Wow! That's a lot of people to herd!
Priscilla moves up along the line
Keeping an eye on the others
The line stretches a long way!
The line reverses due to construction, so back under the bridge
Priscilla watches the dogs and people to ensure they all stay in line
Nearly all back?
Guess I can relax, then!
A big drink to reward a big job
