Third Annual W.O.O.F. Walk

Priscilla and Gracie were so excited when we got the post card in the mail announcing the W.O.O.F. walk! Gracie LOVES the water, and Priscilla loves meeting all her friends. We had a beautiful day - no rain! Although it was a bit cool and windy, none of the dogs complained!

Proceeds from the W.O.O.F. Walk support improvements to the dog park at Indianola's Downey Park.
