Update: Thank you for your support of Bobbi and the Strays Walk for Paws.
Unfortunately I was unable to make the walk. At 1am May 2 the day of the walk I wound up in the ER and spent 10 days in critical care due to a severe asthma attack brought on by exposure to tar fumes. They were tarring the roads or maybe a roof. I smelled it and turned around. But at this stage I can not tolerate any exposure. My reactions are chemical as opposed to allergic so it's pretty bad.
I hear it went well with no rain. Still trying to get more details. I was so looking forward to the walk and seeing everyone again. It took me awhile to get to this as it's hard to let people down. I wasn't sure how to say it. But I owe you all a great big thanks and even though the update isn't how I was expecting I believe you all deserve to know how we did, God Bless you all.:)

Hello
I want to thank those who are sponsoring me as well as give you all an an update but spreading the word will help also. As you can see I have managed to raise $290.00 so far for Bobbi and the Strays.
I know the economy is bad so believe me every little bit helps. Rescues are suffering also. Thanks to the support from people like you, Bobbi and the Strays has been able to rescue animals that need it most. Also many of you are sponsoring other walkers.
My three girls are all seniors and with the weather change if it's hot next week I will have to leave them home They are good walkers and can do the mile and a half but not in the heat of the day. So I will take one of the shelter dogs instead.
I am looking forward to this event. Bobbi and the strays works really hard at saving lives. I can't think of a better reason than that to sponsor a walker so they can continue to do so. I worked for Bobbi for a time and have volunteered as well as fostered a few cats and pulled 5 dogs out of the Brooklyn ACC. Brownie is my permanent foster pulled last year. She just turned 15.
I am adding a few others we the Valley Stream crew have pulled to my photos. Also some photos of saved and adopted out to their forever homes through Bobbi and the Strays. The video on my page shows how dedicated to training and socializing the dogs Bobbi and the Strays staff are.
Looking forward to seeing everyone next week. It should be a blast.
Thank you
