Gilboa?!? What is there?

[Karen]

Reporting in:

Paul and I are home safe, Miss Hoppy did a good job guarding the house, as she and the house are both fine, and we've done raisin time, so maybe I'm forgiven for leaving her.

It's going to be a busy week, but I promise pictures before July th, okay? Hopefully it'll be sooner than then, but it's gonna be a busy week for us, so please be patient!

apparently they have made their quarry into like a Diving school or something? Some of the guys he does Fire with have been there for search and underwater rescue things....
I am surprised he even found it!!
If you blink you miss it!

We "blinked" ~ We "missed it"!
And it WAS a Long Way to the first gas station to "ask"!!

And now we're Back at the Ranch - Safe & Sound!

We closed the Bark Park up with Karen & Paul last night;
then Camped Out at the Findlay Super 8 rather than drive home "late" ...

Today we did some "Site-Seein" around Findlay;
hung out back at the Bark Park in the afternoon - (only ONE "Local"
Family & ONE Dawg came in);
then poked our way back towards home...

So instead of gettin home "late" LAST night ...
We got home "LATE" on THIS night!

GREAT TYME had by All!!
Special THANKS to Karen & Paul for making the Loooonng Trip to
Share the Day with us!! *GOOD* to see you two again!!

Sorry to *miss* those who couldn't make it -
PLAN for the Next *BASH* - SUNDAY, July 3rd - commin up Sooner
than you think!!

We'll start "processin" Photos!!

Come on, how could you miss that huge cow???????

Glad you made it home, Phred. We waited all day to hear from you Phred but when we didn't we thought maybe you made an early start for home.

Carl worked more on the pond - he had me hauling and washing stones. Then he needed to do the rest himself so I wore myself out weeding my overgrown flowerbeds. Didn't call cause you thought we'd pull into our work, huh, Phred????

Glad to hear that you made it home safe and sound Karen, Paul & Phred. We had a wonderful time with you
I'll be looking forward to seeing your pictures when you have the time.
Just waiting for one more to report in...Kimmy...you there yet

Amy your pictures were wonderful! And your not kidding, that girl of yours sure can fly And that picture of Sadie is so adorable, they all look sacked out! Belly rubs to all of them from me

Michelle, the only dogmobile pictures is the ones with my boys sleeping And yep, I was hoping that would be one trait he wouldn't take from Angus. What are the odds of that happening

[cyber-sibes]

Nice pictures everyone! OHHH, Amy that picture of Sadie curled up wif her stuffy baby is SO CUTE!!! Phred, sorry we missed you on Monday - we went to the park around 5, played in the rain with the two Goldens that come daily. I'm hoping they make it to the next PT event-- Everyone would love these guys, Leon and Max. I'll see if I can get a picture this week.....

I was told it was a BUFFALO
and no, we dint *miss* it!

"Turn at the Buffalo"; and it's "just down the road."
He forgot to mention the NEXT right turn and the drive
OUT of Town part!
Then I missed the Quary sign and drove 20 miles to the next town!

"... thought we'd pull you into our work...?"
Never crossed my mynd!

We're supposed to be "doin pictures" ...

[ramanth]

Great photos everyone! I hope to get mine downloaded tomorrow.

[lizbud]

Hi, I've really enjoyed all the pictures of the Dog Park meeting
and want to apologize for not making the trip this time. It's all
totally my fault for not planning this better. The day came & I was
not prepared at all. I am glad there is more than one a year.

Maybe I'll find the carefully marked out map than I took with me the last year.

[wolf_Q]

Wow, wonderful pictures everyone! It looks like you all had a great time. I kept wishing that I could have been there with you instead of working all weekend...plus it rained the whole time, no fun here!

[Dixieland Dancer]

Great time was had by all... especially the furkids! One of these times I'm gonna have to make the trip like Phred did by staying in the Super 8 afterwards. I know the long trip home would be harder for me than the dogs!
