An update on the trio of Luke & his two Great Pyrenees making the trek from Austin to Boston. “Luke, Hudson and Murphy have passed the 100 mile mark, what a celebration!! They are now past Hearne, TX and almost to Franklin, TX.” They are being welcomed with open arms along their route.
I’ve noticed the guys either sleep in a tent or under the stars on the side of the road, so what about hygiene?
What do you do about hygiene? These last few weeks, I’ve been looking bad enough to put the entire grunge movement back underground. I even got the ’suspicious character’ phone call and was almost refused service at a restaurant once. At a bare minimum, I try to get a shower and a shave once a week as well as wash my clothes. But I carry a toothbrush & floss, rinse-free antibacterial soap, and even deodorant so I don’t get too dirty and stinky.
Can you imagine walking 8 hrs a day for 8 months, sleeping on the side of the road, showering once a week, without music, tv, blogs or any of the luxuries we all know and love?! I struggle to walk 4 blocks to work everyday! 
Thank god for my puppy, who drags me along….
We’re glad the walk is going as planned and couldn’t be happier lending our support. Hudson & Murphy (the pups) had their first vet check up last week, since starting their walk, and have been given a clean bill of health! Keep it up guys, only 1900 miles to go (Almost There!!)
