OH Trip/PT Meeting *pictures*

[Kfamr]

As *most* of you know, my dad, Lauren(BluStang24) her dog Honey, my two pups, and I drove to Ohio for the Memorial Weekend PT meeting in Findlay. We left Thursday at 11pm, arrived in Vanlue at around 6 pm Friday.

We camped in a pop-up camper not to far from Findlay, at a campground in Vanlue, Oh. The weather was sooo nice until we started heading out!

Friday evening after getting washed up a bit, setting camp up, feeding the dogs we headed off to the dog park. A lady, I guess who was a regular there, was there with her two dogs (I forget their names, but one was a boxer/lab and the other looked like a Husky mix) Anyways, so we let the dogs run around a bit to get all of their energy out since they had been in the truck for so long. I figured they'd probably show up, and they did, Diana and Carl pulled up with their pups.
Taggert and Jack were very fond of Simba... as well as Simba them. Especially Taggert. Taggert looked so handsome in his new-do. :)

Anyways, after letting the dogs run around and talking to Carl and Diana, we headed back to camp.


Saturday we just went into Findlay and explored. We went to a few places down by the river there, took pictures, then headed back to the dog park. After that, we went to the store, got things to go along with our chicken and stuff to make s'mores, Had dinner and made s'mores over a fire.

Then of course, sunday we went to the PT meeting. When we arrived, Head-bunnies Karen and Paul were there as well as T & P's mom. Nala and Simba were extreme brats. Nala is far too vocal when she plays, and i'm sure everyone understood that, but I don't like it. Simba was playing Mr. Grumpy man. I enjoyed seeing everyone and their pups again, as well as meeting some for the first time. My special favorite was Tori, whom I offered to take home with me. And of course, that gorgeous Angus boy.. who was ever so patient with all of the younger pups. Of course, i'd would have loved to take them all home, and all of them were as cute as always.

On the way home it POURED. The tempature slowly got higher and higher... and I knew we were home when it felt disgusting to step outside. I'd take the 60-70 Ohio weather we had up there anyday... and some of the rain too as our grass is a crisp.

Anyways, i'll stop blabbering now and get to posting some pictures.

But it was Roxey's birthday cake!!!!
So it doesn't count

[wolf_Q]

WONDERFUL photos!!! Arrggggggggg I wish I could have been there! Ok I'll stop whining now. Looks like you guys had a great time!

And of course Birthday Cake calories don't count!!! Where's Roxey's Happy B-day thread?

[aly]

Great pics, Kay!! Looks like you all had fun. Did Simba save a bite of that yummy cake for me??? :D

My family is up in Michigan right now and I was supposed to be there too. If I had been there, I probably could've gone to the meeting, but I've had some health issues that cancelled my trip :( Maybe sometime I will be able to go!

[Kfamr]

Thanks everyone. :D

You and Reece man, and Lolly should come to FL!!
Everyone should! :p

[trayi52]

Kay, just what I have been waiting for all day! Pictures, and more pictures. I knew you would have some great pictures, but these are even better than I expected.

Oh, the dam in the park was so beautiful! The cornfield too.

Funny, it actually looked like Simba was READING the little sign on the park bench! The picture of Simba, Nala, and Honey at the bench was great!

I loved seeing all the pictures of Angus, Honey, Tori, and Gabbie and all the lovely furkids!

Now I am off to look at the rest of the pictures. Thanks Kay, I am so glad you got home safely. It looked like everybody had so much fun!

One of these days I WILL make it to a Pet Talk meeting!

I began looking through the album and I got to the Simba & Nala one in front of the corn when my computer switched off. Been having problems with it for a week or so. Going to log off now - got to paint the bathroom - I'll try and get to the rest of your album later.

I still am sad I didn't get to go. Want to see Angus and Katie so bad! Glad you had a good time. Maybe one day I'll make it up there. Sounds like it's a nice place to live, too. Would much prefer the weather up there.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

[DogLover9501]

I loved seeing all the PT pups together, it was also a real treat to see some of Angus, as Anna holds out on us :o :p

There are million more favorites lol but I don't wanna post half the pictures :p

I should have told you all to give *my* ;) Angus an extra hug from me!

[K9soul]

Wonderful photos Kay. I sure hope I have the opportunity and privilege to meet some of you wonderful PT people and pooches in person someday. I just love the pics, but it's also hard not to feel a bit sad that we couldn't join the fun.

The Pet Talk bench is beautiful. Looks like the weekend was gorgeous. Good thing it wasn't in MN :p. We've had nothing but wind and rain for days now :o.

Welcome back to all who went!

[lute]

it looks like you had lots of fun! i would love to go to one of these things. i never know when and where they're going on.:confused:

by the way,we have more corn in indiana.:D

[4 Dog Mother]

Great pictures, Kay! It was so nice to see you and your dad again and meeting Lauren. And of course seeing the 3 pups. You are such a great photographer! I think that is really your calling! And I still don't get how you get those dogs to do whatever you want in those photos. You have a great deal of patience, young lady! The one of Nala behind the bench and Honey and Simba on the bench is one of my favorites.

Oh, but when your socks are soak and wet, the bed you sleep in was wet, and almost nothing keeping the cool air out... it's pretty darn freezing!!

I'd love to come for the winter. I'm the one who had the windows down while my dad and Lauren froze on the way to Vanlue.
