Went to the dogpark last night. They just mowed the park while my friends were there. The park guy told them that they were getting it ready for the Pet-talk Pic-nic! She & her husband & pooch (Katie) want to come, too. The more the merrier! :D

It sounds like we're going to have a nice crowd this time, can't wait to see everyone again and meet the ones I haven't met yet:)
Amy I'm sorry that your sweet girl will have to sit this one out, but let her know that we're all going to be missing her (and Ralph too!). So of course lots of extra hugs and kisses...hehe for both of them ;) I still hope your able to make it with Cincy and Spot.

start doing the sunshine dance everyone if you haven't already!
Its supposed to be partly SUNNY (aka partly cloudy) and about 73 which would be a nice temp, altho I'm afraid that a certain New Mexican might freeze her bunny butt off! ;) She's in Tempe, AZ right now and it was 100+ when she got there!
looking forward to seeing everyone!
Looks like the weather is going to be perfect. 72 and partly sunny....Yipee!!! I am getting excited. :D
Now the next part:Quote:

Got in at 1.40am-ish last night - hit weather during the flight back (I find that saying odd, afterall isn't it ALL weather?). At any rate, no harm done just a VERY tired Zippie. (3 more hours and I would've been up for all 24!)
Am just dropping a note as I'm frantically trying to tie up loose ends and get on the road. It's pouring the rain down here and I didn't calculate "inclement" weather into my driving time (rain?! in the desert?!). Kinda worried about havin' to sit the night out in Houston -- been done before, will do it again if I have to, I suppose. :) (Say some sunshine prayers for H-town!)
ON a side note, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my mom/dad (yesterday) and HAPPY BURSTDAY to my sissy (today). :cool:
See ya'll tomorrow. (I hope!)
Drive SAFE, Zippy! ;)Quote:

Her first leg is departure from Midland, Texas at 3:45 pm EASTERN time
Arriving in Houston, Texas at 5:05 pm EASTERN time
Layover of 1 hr 20 min in the airport;
Depart Houston at 6:28 pm EASTERN time for a 3.5 hour flight
Arriving Columbus, Ohio at :eek: 9:55 pm EASTERN time (tonight).
Cyber Sis Staci, with Mom & Dad along - will meet her at the Columbus Airport.
Then it's a couple more hours on the road to home.
SAFE TRIP, Zip - and get some SLEEP (somewhere)! :p

DRIVE (and Fly) SAFE ~~~ See y'all in the morning!
:D
;)
Hope she "made it" through the desert and got ON the plane ...
We'll assume she did ... so ...
Zippy-Kat is a lil better than half way to Houston, Texas!
They took off 10 minutes late (no reason given) and are due in to Houston
at 4:57 pm Eastern time - 25 minutes from now.
Hope she's savin the PeaNutz for tomorrow!
:D
she doesn't like peanuts so they are all yours Phred!
I have her bed made up - as it will be late when we get home. And its been kitty tested and certified. :)
I told her to bring a sweatshirt as it might get chilly in the evening.
Guess what - she doesn't own one!
Walmart here we come!
:)
Zippy-Kat is IN Houston, Texas - after a not-too-bad flight from Midland!
:D
She's got almost an hour to kill; then hops on her second Big Bird for the
hop to - we're not sure where?? :confused: ...
SHE thinks it's direct to Columbus, Ohio ...
SouthWest says they're gonna go to Nashville, TN first, THEN on to Columbus.
?? :confused:
Oh well ... too bad it's gonna be too dark to see the sights.
I told her to ASK where she was before she hopped off the plane at the "next" stop ...
The Staci Taxi may have a problem running to Nashville to pick her up! :p
According to FlyteTracker - Zippy-Kat has *arrived* in Columbus!! :)
(Now posted as a 9:39 "arrival")
The Welcoming Committee of Sis Staci + Mom & Dad (aka da Bus Driver)
are camped out at the SouthWest baggage claim counter - *waiting*.
She'll be the one with the big armload of SouthWest PeaNutz! :p
Mom & Dad are running the Taxi tonight - direct run from Port Columbus Airport
to the Staci Camp in Upper S ...
Due to arrive about mid night.
Wonder if either one will get any *SLEEP* tonight? :p
WELCOME to Ohio, Zip!!
:D
:)
They're IN Dad's Taxi and headed for the Staci Camp! (10:15 pm)
Back here at the Ranch ...
The ThreeMuttz know sumpin's up ...
* We're bakin cookies :)
* I loaded the Treat Pouch ...
* They got their Bandannas washed ...
* We're haulin stuff down to put in da Bus ...
Looks like a Road Trip, Guys!!
:rolleyes:
They're WAY too smart for their own good ...
I hauled a couple bags down and into the garage, then into the car ...
Had THREE lil "helpers" following every footstep.
Last trip was to put the camera on the front seat ...
Opened the FRONT car door - and ALL THREE barged past and jumped into the back seat ...
and then would NOT get back out! Think I could have left them in there all night.
Back to the Cookies! ;)
:D
Hope everyone at Camp Staci gets a good nights rest (yeah right;)).
Just charged my batteries and put the camera in my backpack!Quote:

So far, I've met red dawg (and she's a doll baby), the infamous k-lo (who wasn't too sure of me at first then gave in to head skritchies), and finally princess kylie made a brief appearance and allowed me to touch her silky-soft fur.
Phred, I started turning down bags of peanuts... but still ended up with about 6 or 7 bags - they're all your's buddy!
Ok, I'm fading quickly (zzzzz) ... see ya'll tomorrow!! :D

We are packing up and heading out. All of our puppers are real excited, as well as us. See everyone in a few.
Everyone still partying?
We've been home for a couple of hours now. Just finished loading my pictures to Image Station. When we left, Phred, Staci, Tonya, Amy, Anna, Robin and Tim (and his kids) were still there. Amy just called and said she was on her way home. Phred, Staci and Tonya were still there. The weather was good, the food was wonderful, as were all the dogs and people. We had a great time. On to some pictures.

Yay! Pictures! Glad you all had sunshine, too! (Rained all day here.)
Thanks for the photos, it looks like a lot of fun!! :) I can't wait for more pics!

Are you sure this is Cincy? Did you notice the "fuller figure" and the tell
tale brownish paws? Looks like my Maggie. :)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a/ed2a170f.jpg
Gosh, we had a great time today. :D Weather was great & so were the people and the dogs. :) I'm pooped & Smokey & Maggie are both sleeping.
I'm so happy that I got to see you all again. :)
What a wonderful time you must have had. I just love all the pictures and have spent a bit of time looking at the album.
God willing, I'll be there next Labor Day. Any more pictures to look at??
More pics....It was a great time even though I arrived a little late due to troubles in the morning remembering what day it was. lol
