I use the term admission loosely - if you don't bring anything they aren't going to kick you out. Its just a way to include kitties too.Quote:

I had a longer post earlier but had computer issues so had to restart.
Will let everyone else check in...

Great pictures, Staci! Looks like you had a great time. Wish we could have come but didn't want to leave Snoopy. Can't wait to see you all next weekend!
we sure missed you but I can totally understand! continued hugs to all!Quote:

Katie is curled up at my feet sleeping and Tori is sniffing and licking on her..lol..I'm sure she is getting all kinds of wierd doggy smells. I had a really good time and my nieces had a blast! They loved all the grown ups and all the doggies. I haven't even looked at my pictures yet. I'll try to get to them soon. Diana and Amy, we missed both you and your families. Can't wait to see you guys next week. Ok, I'm off to look at Staci's pics now.
{{{HUGS TO ALL}}}
We're HOME - an Totally POOPED!!

Great pictures, Staci!! Looks and sounds like everyone had a great time!! Sorry we couldn't be there...but we did win our softball game :D
Can't wait to see everyone next weekend!!!
Aw, looks like a great time! Glad to hear most of the gang has checked in and arrived safely. Hope the others arrive safely, as well. :)
Staci, those pictures are awesome. I tried to copy and paste my favourites but only got a red X. :( Phred, I just love your hat with the greenies on it. :D We have a similar dog walk up here for the SPCA.
Anyway, looking at the pictures and recognizing all the people and pets was fun....almost like I was there myself.
As for meetings, one day I will attend Findlay. Don't know when, but I won't be giving you any warning. ;) :D Unfortunately I don't have a dog but hopefully someone will lend me their pup for just one day. :cool:
We made it home around 8ish or so. Glad to hear everyone made it home alright. Staci, Mark's almost sorry he didn't take you up on your offer for the xray :eek: Hopefully he's just really sore, but you know a man...won't go to the hospital until he absolutely needs to:o (tell you all about what happened tomorrow).
We really had a good time, will share a little more later but for now here's the link to our pictures...
Pawsfest 2006
Great pictures Staci, and Diana so sorry you weren't able to share the day with us. Hope Snoopy is doing better.
PS Slick, I'd lend you one of my pups any day...in fact Mark says if you want Bon you can have him;)
Staci, thanks for all of the great pictures. For me, way out here on the left coast - it is like looking at a family reunion - all the aunts and uncles are there and all of the cousins are sniffing each other!
That park is beautiful - and it sure looked like everyone was having a great time.
I wonder if I was able to steal Bon - if anyone would notice? But then there is Buster - or Keegan - it would be too hard to decide.
Phred, you are looking good - pretty dapper in that greenie hat!
What awesome pictures! I am so sorry that I missed out on all the fun. Can't wait to meet everyone in Findlay. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate. Yipee!!!!!
Great pictures, Anna! That is a very beautiful park! Really wishing we could have come. I thought it would be a lot more people and crowds. Snoopy might have been able to handle that. But the good thing was we were able to take the whole bunch to our friends so they could all run for about an hour. Two days without seizures - that's a good thing!
aawww I am really hoping he feels better quickly! he had such a rough day! He won't want to see me again! :pQuote:

We had another "Award-Winning Performance" at PawsFest -
the second PT Winner was Ann's Hubby MARK who scored better than
a 9.5 average in Turf Diving. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/rolleyes.gif
It's a long story ...
Started during our picnic supper - when the Baby Chipmunks
started FALLING OUT of the Trees and running through the crowd!
Huney started *Lookin UP* at that point and never stopped >>>
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...0/eee42484.jpg
We adjourned the picnic area and moved to the Kids Playground to give
Robin's WELL-behaved Nieces a chance to be Kids for a while.
Huney was developing a Stiff Neck from Chipmunk / Squirrel Watchin ...
Mark offered to take her on a Squirrel Hunt ...
OFF they went -at a dead run - Squirrel Hunter in the lead ...
"Dad" hangin onto the leash a few steps behind ...
Things started goin DOWNhill as Mark's leash arm & upper body got farther & farther
out in front and ahead of his feet ...
The Turf Dive was a sight to behold - but sadly, http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif, not photographed.
Most of us gave him a 9.5 - Anna (slightly biased) awarded a 10 Plus.
He stretched out - almost horizontal a foot or two above the ground -
then landed spread-eagle on the grass.
Never lost his grip on Huney's leash ...
And Huney never took her eyes of the Squirrel in the Tree, either!

(NOTE: the "Slow - Speed Bump" sign!)
"C'mone, Dad! You're layin down onna job again!"

"Keep your eyes on your Squirrel at ALL times!"

"C'mone, Dawg! I've had enough *phunn* for one day!"
http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
Congrats Kay and Kiara!!
Mark, I feel your pain!! I don't remember iof it was last year, or the year before, but after a PT picnic, I tried a similar race with all three dogs, after ducks. I didnt fair as well...when I hit the wet grass and went flying, I dropped the leashes and the dogs kept running!! Thankfully they all have pretty good recall and came back!!!
I think I got more of a "what were you thinking? :rolleyes: " from Ralph!!!
I have lots of stories to tell but I had to work all day yesterday and work this morning also :rolleyes:
Soooo.....For now I'll just say:
CONGRATULATIONS KIARA!
Click HERE to watch her winning performance:D
Congrats Kay and Kiara!! I love everyone's pictures. Wish I could have been there!
I enjoyed the pictures, looks like it was a beautiful day! :D Congrats Kay and Kiara!
Anna, I'm so glad you got a video of Kiara and her winning performance. I was standing back a bit and gabbing to someone and missed it :o .
I've enjoyed everyone's pictures. Sorry it has taken me so long to get to mine. I was just too exhausted to do it Sunday and was busy yesterday and most of today. I had a really good time and thought it was such a nice day. I loved seeing all my PT buddies and really loved, loved, loved seeing all the dogs! It was a very pretty park too. My nieces had a blast and now want to go to Findlay with me. Hmm, not for sure about that. Do I want to take them or not?..lol. What do you guys think? I can't make up my mind. Since it was an on leash event I got to take Katie with me and that was special for me. I thought she did fairly well. There were some "growly" moments but nothing physical. Overall, I'm happy with how she behaved. I love that big girl so much!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...2/eee0629a.jpg
Great pics Robin! :)
I'm so glad everyone had such a great time! I love that everyone felt welcomed and thinks it is such a beautiful park. I guess I take it for granted b/c I live here. I wish it wasn't so far away for all of you I would LOVE for you to see it in the winter time - they decorate it up for the Fantasy of Lights. The entire park is lit up. They play music that I can hear all the way at MY house! I found some links but the most recent ones are from 2004. They close the park down the first of November to set it up then it is ran thru the whole month of December.
Here are some links I found hope they work.

Aw that looks like so much fun! :) Congratulations Kiara on your best trick win!!
Aw you know we'd never give up that big slobbery boy of ours! Unfortunately he just wants to eat all our friends dogs :rolleyes: :pQuote:

You know it just wasn't Mark's day was it? (Phred I love your take on the big fall...especially the speed bump sign! Too funny!)
First the bite, then the big fall. His shoulder is still hurting something awful, but just like a man he won't dare go to the hospital and have them check it out :rolleyes:
We did have a wonderful day though. It was great to get together and see all our friends (humans and dogs alike).
I think everyone's pictures turned out wonderful (Kay, can't wait to see yours).
I look forward to seeing you all again on Sunday!
Wow. everyone's pictures are great! Congratulations Kiara! Condolences to Mark, but Phred should get a prize for his "documentary" :D
We left Sat. and got back Mon. late pm from our little jaunt to Virginia to watch our niece graduate. Maybe next year we can make it to Pawfest. Will definitly see you all in Findlay in a few days! (Maybe Star and Mark can sit together & compare their bite-wounds ;) I think Mark's has more teeth marks!)
LOL Pat!Quote:

And of course one of my goofy dogs (or should I say their goofy mom:o)
My three goofs
Oh and there's one more thing I've been wanting to say. I don't have kids, and my dogs are rarely around any kids, but I have to say they were wonderful at the park on Sunday. We went over to the playground and all the kids come running up to us wanting to pet the dogs and the dogs just loved it! A little boy even hugged Bon and laid his head on him...it was just too cute. Of course I wasn't able to get any pictures, but I see Robin did. These just have to be my favorite of the day:)

OK, now I promise I'm done babbling:p
Nice videos, Anna! That first one is especially cute - I love seeing Huney running around and around! Her new clip is really cute. And Roxey looks so happy. And look at Bowser's tail- happy happy boy! Gabby looks like she was in the mood to play, too. Can't wait to see everyone Sunday!
I have been waiting all week for Anna's pics and finally went back to shortly under MY post there they were!!
doooohhh!
off to look at them!
