On April 24th members of Local 2141, as well as members of Alexandria’s 38th Suppression Recruit Class, joined co-worker Monique Jackson-Asante and her family and friends to participate in the MDA’s Stride and Ride event at George Mason University. Local 2141 partnered with GMU’s Phi Kappa Alpha Fraternity to walk on behalf of Monique’s daughter Comfort who suffers from Myasthenia Gravis, a neuromuscular disease that causes muscle fatigue and weakness.
While down at the beach I was looking for some footprints, What I find interesting is the pattern made by this canine friend... I tried to duplicate it and just couldn't do it. Maybe some of you can do a better job of duplicating the stride that allows both paws to always be together and not stepped on when the rear comes to the front. Oh well, it was good enough to keep me interested for awhile... :)
I continue to appoligize for not being on flickr much... Bev is still in the hospital and today is another one of the big decisions on where we go from here days.
When in hurry stride to your destination and don't anything get in the way. Like rail tracks for example.
Strider has been gone for 6 years now. He was with us for 13 wonderful years. He was one of those amazing pets that we will tell stories about for years and years. He was so gentle, extremely obedient, loved people and other animals. We had 4 Yorkies at the same time, plus many litters of Yorkies. I never heard a cross word from him as he tippy toed around all the little bodies that wanted to be by him.
He also is my hero, as he once saved me from great harm. It's one of those amazing dog stories. We miss you Strider!
