Each year IAMRA, the rescue organization where we got Dora, has a homecoming and fundraiser even called Malawalk. Basically all the adopted out malamutes (and their owners) are invited to a big malamute picnic. We went down this year with Mitch, another IAMRA adopter who lives in Milwaukee, and two of his Dogs, Lance and Molly.

We had a lot of fun. Dora had a great time and behaved very well considering the amount of dogs there. She participated in the bobbing for hotdogs event (she got her hot dog) and also competed (and sucked it up) in both the kissing and singing contests.

In two days, God willing, my awesome brother-in-law, Steve, will be married to his wonderful fianceé Nicki. I think they're great together and will be happy to see them married.

They're getting married in East Lansing, MI. Anne and I are both in the wedding, so tonight Anne, Dora, and I are going to be driving to Anne's parent's in Brighton, MI. I'm looking forward to it, Anne's family is cool and always fun to hang out with. I wonder if we'll have time for a game or two of Euchre?

UPDATE: The wedding was great despite the torrential rain all weekend. Steve and Nicki are now in Mexico on their honeymoon.

Here are photos I took at the rehearsal and wedding.
