Walk like a mastiff

It's football season, so it may natural to spend this coming Sunday curled up on your couch with a Pabst Blue Ribbon, nachos with Cheez Whiz, and your Pomeranian to watch a battery of National Football League (NFL) games. Or maybe you haven't lost faith in the home team and have tickets for the Seattle Seahawks' contest against the San Diego Chargers at Qwest Field.

But for those "think outside the box" and want to support a worth animal-welfare organization, consider spending your Sunday morning at the Walk For the Animals benefitting The Humane Society For Seattle/King County.

Choose between a "2.25-mile scenic loop starting at University Village and continuing through the Union Bay Natural Area Trails"... or the shorter, one-mile course. "Kickoff" begins at 8:30 am, followed by Fido Best ("a celebration of all things dog"... and a beer garden) that continues until 2 pm. Walkers can come with or without dogs.

Feeling the financial strain of the Bush Recession, animal-welfare organizations need money. Period. Those with tickets to the Hawks game can walk the one-mile course, snap up the freebies, get your dog home, and be in your seats at Qwest by the 1:15 pm kickoff.
