Orlando Sentinel Dopey Story

January 11, 2014 | Uncategorized

Good morning folks! By the time most of you read this I will be DONE with the half marathon and will only have one day left of racing. Halleluiah!

I normally donโ€™t post on Saturdays anymore, but this is something I just had to share. I was Interviewed for a story for the Orlando Sentinel about running Dopey, then Thursday, I met with a photographer and we shot video and photos in the pouring rain for the paper.

    Congrats Heather! I just watched the video and read the article – great job! I would love to run a Disney race but due to the travel cost from Canada it may never happen. It just wouldn’t be fair if mommy went and left her 3 Princesses at home, so if I did go it would have to be a whole family event. I have been wanting to do the Goofy challenge (ane now the DOpey challenge) for over 10 yrs!

    How awesome! I am counting down the day until Tower of Terror. In a lot of ways that will be my redemption race.

    Good luck tomorrow. Wishing all you Dopey’s strong legs and fast feet.

    Great job on the article! Good luck today ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ve never run in costume but I absolutely would at Disney and I’ve always wanted to make the trip down there. Hopefully in the next year or two!

    I haven’t ever run in costume, but you make it look like fun! My longest race so far has been a half marathon, so the idea of Dopey sounds a little overwhelming for me. One day maybe.

    I have never run in costume (other than Santa hats) but hope to one day. It looks like so much fun!

    I am running Dopey also, no costume though. It is too uncomfo table and I end up throwing wveryong on the floor by the end of the race.

This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety can be. (Ad)

After a really stressful week with a new sitter (who wasnโ€™t a great fit and left her alone far too long), Dolly started coping the only way she knew how โ€” nonstop licking. What started as โ€œnormal anxious behaviorโ€ turned into a raw wound that required a vet visit, meds, and constant care.

We changed a few things in her routine, and we also added NaturVet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements into her daily support. The difference has been incredible. Sheโ€™s settled, sleeping better, no more licking, and truly back to her happy, goofy self.

Iโ€™m sharing this for anyone whose dog struggles with stress, separation, or big changes. Youโ€™re not overreacting. Their anxiety is real โ€” and it deserves real support. ๐Ÿค

You can find @naturvet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements  at select Walmart stores, and theyโ€™ve been such a gentle, helpful part of Dollyโ€™s healing.

I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky ba I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky bags on my trips! โœˆ๏ธ

So I invested in the Carry-On from @hulkenbag! Itโ€™s lightweight, sleek, and glides effortlessly wherever I go. It has 4 pockets and opens from the top, so itโ€™s very easy to grab things in flight! Iโ€™ve got room for everything I need and can fit all my devices, snacks, books, and a neck pillow seamlessly inside.

I always pair my Carry-On with the Schlep Stack because who has time to dig through a messy bag? ๐Ÿ‘œโœจ

Trust me, Hulken is a total game-changer!

The beaches of Alabama are the kind of place where the days feel slow, the kids are happy, and you donโ€™t feel like you need a vacation after your vacation.

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.
