Sorry to hear so many plans have had to change :( Somtimes life gets in the way!! But we do have another gathering planned for Labor Day, another long weekend...maybe we'll see you all then!!
I cleared one memory card (2 to go), and have Lemon Bars in the oven (Pecan bars are next). Camera batteries are charged, and I picked up some doggy treats today. Can't wait for tomorrow!
Well, we're still coming.(god willing). I don't have a cell phone but do
have Phred's phone number if I need directions.My car's packed, gassed
up & tires checked. :D See you all later. :D
ps. Is Findley on Eastern time?
Findlay is on "EDT = Eastern Daylight TimeQuote:

OK, done *cryin* from the Great Onyin Chop :( -
on to the Great Cookie Bake!
:D
Liz, yes it is on eastern time.
Ohhh, Joyce, I'm sorry that you aren't going to make it. I was really looking forward to meeting you and Ginger. Maybe it will happen someday.
I'm starting to gather my stuff up now. Getting ready to make some macaroni salad. Gotta get all the batteries charged, phone charged, make sure I have my directions and park pass. Ohhh, I wanna run out and fuel up this evening so I don't have to mess with that in the morning either. Oh, sunscreen too. Don't forget the sunscreen, people!
Everyone drive safely!! :)
oh dear.. :(
sooo darn sorry you're not coming, joyce & ginger! :( hate when something like this happens. I wish I could wand every of you magically to findlay!
..looks like I'm coming! (....*knock on wood*..) my four day plan have shorten to one day, my sweet friend's gonna stay here & watch over for my two (two more!!) cats for me. so I'll be driving straight down there (in ol'bloppy car) early morning then leave right after the gathering - I don't think one day would hurt and I'll be having my pager with me in case of questions or cats are found!
mhmm, wow. the day is coming.. here I go travel again, see you all tomorrow!! :cool:

Sunscreen, and hats everyone! I had my magical folding hat ready to go, too!
We just finished dinner with Sue & Kaige, Joe & Indy- what fun! Will post more pictures later, but here's a nice "group" shot (except for Joe & JoJoe) It was quite a feat to get them all to sit still!

It's 6.5 hours (380 miles) ...
IF you plan to drive TO Findlay and back Home the same day -
that's 13 hours of driving - without figuring in any stops.
You're younger than I am - but that's more driving in one day than you should be doing!
And do you have any idea How to FIND Findlay, OH??
I'd certainly be looking for someone to Ride Along - other than the Pup!
/s/ Phred
lovely picture! everyone looks so sweet and natural there! hey, what did you guys hadd for dinner? sorry I didn't make it. :(
aw thank you phred. :) well, actually I have a place to stay over - two cities southeastern away in case a couple of sleep hours needed. but who can sleep worrying? I never been able to sleep anyway. :rolleyes: so drive when you can! cats want me and I want them.
don't forget my successful roadtrip (first day was 14 hours total, to me, it was like five hours).. :eek: and being young helps! :D
yeah, I have the map and miles - only 6 hours, (being young) :p and everyone almost could come with me. :( thank goodness I didn't have to work.
anyway, I LOVE/MISS driving! (car stolen) and I can't wait. especially to meet you all. :cool:
karen, will do and crayola will help too! :)
What a great group shot Pat!! Can't wait to wait everyone tomorrow, but I think Indy may have to come home with me!! Indy could be a long lost sibling of Sadie!!
Well - Keegan had a bath tonite so she ought to be nice and clean for tomorrow. I have treats and things for her ready - not bringing any food tho I hope there's still some left when I get there! :p
Diana please save me a scoop of POTATO SALAD! :)
lol
Getting off at 11am - will try to sleep for about 3 hours then get up and come over - so hopefully I'll be there around 330-4ish.
Will call Phred's ringy-dinger when I'm on my way! :p
Have fun everyone! Take lots of pictures....I think you need a GROUP SHOT too! :)
Barbequed chicken, corn on the cob, & baked beans (had to try em out to be sure they'd be good tomorrow! Also cherry pie ala mode. Sorry we missed you, too - drive safe, girl!Quote:

From that picture, she does look more like Cincy. That is it...she is the missing link between Sadie and Cincy. Either way, I think she needs to come live with me ;)
Hehe Amy...I see your up early this morning too:p
I would have loved to get together with you guys for dinner, too bad I had to work:o
See you all soon!!!
My wife and I just moved here to Findlay. I am originally frrom Illinois and SHE was raised here in Findlay. We have a 5 yr old, female, choc-lab mix named Timber. We have a dog license already and really cant wait to go. It will be our first time of course. We have met some really great people at the dog park already...see ya there.
Tracy & Anna :cool:
Most of you are probably up getting ready to go now - drive carefully! .... and remember to take lots of pictures. ;)
Have FUN!!
Packing stuff up and getting ready to leave MI!
I am so angry at myself for not making it there. I know you guys will all have a great time, and I will be checking in anxiously all day looking for updates and pictures. Please post plenty, have fun and give hugs to all of the dogs for me.
Have a great time everyone! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ilies/wave.gif looking forward to the pictures!
Well hello Timber! Star & Sherman here. We've played with you at the dogpark several times - hope to see you at the picnic!Quote:

My post will be short & sweet because I forgot my camera. :( Oh well,
I'll have to wait to see everyone elses.
p.s. You know it's one thing to see all the PT pupsters in pictures, but
It's even better seeing them all run around the park together. :)
Oh Liz I just came on now to check for any updates and I am so disappointed that you forgot your camera. I will just have to practice patience. :) By the way, does anyone know if Mugsy still attends these get-togethers. I always enjoyed seeing which pupster was chosen to go with her. Anyone hear from her lately?

Oh, Liz, I am glad it was a fun gathering for you! Still wish I could have been there, but I'll just have to live vicariously for now.
*drums fingers*
Waiting for the "check-ins", so I can see pics ... :D
Sorry I missed those of you that had left before I got there.
I got there around 3pm with one hour of sleep - thanks to the equivalent of 6 cans of Diet Mountain Dew that I had by 3pm! :rolleyes:
It was great fun and was soooo happy to see everyone! :)
off to u/l pics while I wash the dirt - dog slobber- sweat- off me! :D
I only took about 43 pics - I was a little slow on the uptake today!
Liz, Stace.... so glad to hear you made it back safely!
We are home too. Can't promise pictures tonight as we still have more partying to do up here, but we sure had a great day!! Tons of sun ( I'm a wee bit red!) and all the dogs were so good and got along so well!! I filled a 128 card, so I should have lots of pictures!!!
I talked to Mugsy maybe a month or so ago. They were hacing computer issues and she wasn't online anywhere much. She is still doing tons of rescue work. I'll send her an email soon and let her know people as asking about her!
a WEEEE bit?Quote:

Glad to hear everyone is making it home safely. We decided to spend the night at the American Coach Service Facility in Decatur, IN. They have electric hookups....and a dump station for in the morning. We'll continue on our way tomorrow and be home sometime tomorrow afternoon.
We were a bit late due to minor motorhome issues that were finally resolved (whew!) but we arrived just in time for the food! Great timing if you ask me. ;)
It was great seeing everyone again, and meeting new people. Two observances. Bowzer is shorter than he appears in pictures, and Bon is bigger than he appears in pictures! :eek:
For some reason I left my camera in the motorhome and didn't get any pictures at all - doh! So I'm patiently awaiting everyone else's pictures also.
Had a great time - as usual - and it was great seeing everyone again. :D
Kiara, Dad, and I are pooped out in a Super 8 motel - somewhere on the way to Cinci. I think the city is Wakapeto or something... too tired to find out. :rolleyes: Has to be the nicest motel I've stayed at - rooms are clean, it's quiet, pet friendly, and they even have a place for us to park with our camper.
"Free" wireless internet and still cheaper than any of the other hotels we checked on the way to this one.
Other than Phred & the gang - Dad, Kiara, & I were the last ones out.
Thank you everyone... had a great time. Dumb me didn't start taking pictures until later in the day so I missed many of the pups who left earlier. :(
Posting a few favorites, though...
1. Bad a$$ Mark and his bad a$$ dog. :p
2. Gina of Gina's Ark giving Ki a big hug. :D
3. When some of the pups cleared, Ki decided to lay in the kiddy pool, which most of you saw she wanted nothing to do with previously.
4. Sherman! Isn't he just amazing? Love that boy!
5. Keegan knows what's best.. FRESH water!
Had to add one more..
I was so happy to see Ruby! She is even more gorgeous in person!

And that's a great SHerman picture - don'tcha just wanna kiss that boy? ;)
Well, I finally got mine uploaded too. It was too hot out there and I did not take as many pictures as I had planned too.
But on the what I did manage to take.
