Pink Paws Walk Again!<br />
4th Annual Breast in Show Walk, <strong>October</strong> 30<br />
by Bella Caggiano<br />
Pink hues dominate the streets<br />
of <strong>Norwood</strong> the last Sunday in<br />
<strong>October</strong>. On this day, for the past<br />
three years, dogs are take the lead<br />
in the fight again breast cancer.<br />
On <strong>October</strong> 30, the 4th Annual<br />
Breast In Show Walk, sponsored<br />
by The Soggie Doggie, in S. <strong>Norwood</strong>,<br />
recruit both two and four<br />
legged volunteers to raise money<br />
for cancer research. The fourlegged<br />
companions will accompany<br />
their families, and all walkers<br />
are invited, with or without a dog!<br />
Participants and their leashed<br />
pets will launch the walk at The<br />
Soggie Doggie, 1159 Washington<br />
St., in South <strong>Norwood</strong>, at 10 a.m.,<br />
and proceed to <strong>Norwood</strong> Center<br />
and the Town Common, for a<br />
break and social gathering. The<br />
return trip heads down Central<br />

FOR FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE<br />
Washington St., and back to the<br />
salon.<br />
In past years, approximately<br />
120-140 walkers participated,<br />
where almost 80 dogs and even<br />
1 cat (in a carrier) has joined in<br />
the event. Co-owners Becky Collins<br />
and Meghan Terwilliger were<br />
inspired to initiate the walk after<br />
seeing football players wearing<br />
pink in <strong>October</strong>, the official Breast<br />
Cancer Awareness Month. Both<br />
women have unfortunately experienced<br />
the life-changing effects of<br />
breast cancer within their families<br />
and wanted to reach out to help<br />
find a cure for this devastating diagnosis.<br />
"The idea started as simply<br />
encouraging clients to do pink<br />
creative grooming through the<br />
month of <strong>October</strong>, Terwilliger<br />
said. "We then thought maybe we<br />
could join in on an already established<br />
walk (Susan G<br />
Comen or Avon) with<br />
all of our pink pets,<br />
but then decided that<br />
we should just do our<br />
own!"<br />
Not available to<br />
attend the event but<br />
want to contribute?<br />
Throughout the month<br />
of <strong>October</strong>, The Soggie<br />
Doggie enhances its high<br />
quality and creative dog and cat<br />
grooming to raise monetary donations<br />
through their pet services.<br />
All the proceeds from the purchase<br />
of any pink creative color (dye the<br />
ears, tail, paws, etc.), pink feather<br />
extensions or pink nail pawlish will<br />
go directly to The Breast Cancer<br />
Research Foundation (BCRF),<br />
where 100% of every dollar goes<br />
into the fund. Check out their<br />
Facebook Page at The Soggie<br />
Doggie for some great examples<br />
of pink grooming services. Sprayon<br />
color options will also be available<br />
the day of the event.<br />
"Everyone has been affected<br />
by breast cancer in some way,"<br />
Terwilliger said. "We all<br />
know somebody who has either<br />
survived breast cancer, passed<br />
away because of breast cancer, or<br />
is fighting it now. We want to do<br />
whatever we can to help these doctors<br />
find a cure. And who doesn't<br />
love a pink dog?!"<br />
Registration for the Breast in<br />
Show Walk is $30 and each participant<br />
will receive a silicone wristband<br />
and t-shirts (while supplies<br />
last). Walkers with or without dogs<br />
(or cats in carriers) are welcome!<br />
