This time of year, there is a run/walk/race at the lake just about every weekend. But this one is a first — the Dallas Academy 5K and 1-mile Fun Run/ Pet Walk, a.k.a. the DAWG Run.

You can also get your pooch’s pic taken with Santa at the Ridgewood-Belcher recreation center immunization clinic Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
