Weekend wrap: Strut Your Mutt raises money for homeless dogs
So it was a busy weekend with the Strut Your Mutt walk in Santa Monica.
Among those participating was Julia Sarah Silver Warady of San Pedro, founder of Happy Hound Helpers (a new pet-sitting business ready to launch in the Harbor Area in early October) and her super-cute bassett hound, Barkley:
I'm told Barkley wasn't so keen on wearing the flowers at first. But he adjusted. Looks like he was a pretty good all-around sport about it all.
Julia was walking on behalf of Bassett Hound Rescue at Daphneyland.
Held on the Santa Monica Pier, the event was sponsored by the Best Friends Animal Society
to raise funds for local rescue groups.
Friends from Border Collies in Need, founded by San Pedro resident Suzanne Strauss, and Rover Rescue based in the South Bay (Redondo Beach) also were among groups participating and partnering for funds raised.
Send in your pictures from the walk if you took some! We'll post them.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
