*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 28, 2006 ~

Great pictures, Phred! Thanks for sharing! Give your three skritches for me, sorry I didn't get there, but the pictures are the next best thing, minus the sunburn! (Yes, I inevitable burn despite sunscreen, it just makes it a mild sunburn!)

Still haven't seen anything from Gina? Anyone know if she and Crayola made it home safely??

I think I will be more careful about giving that girl a hard time...LOL. :rolleyes:

Ha! I'm surprised you didn't take the credit:p;)
And now, you know better than give me such a hard time:D

Yup - you sure did!!!!! :D

Yeah Michelle, I figured you'd like that:p

I've also been wondering about Gina, I hope she made it home alright...Gina let us know how you are asap!

I know I've said it a million times already, but I REALLY had an awesome time despite the heat. I think it's that I was able to have my whole family there...even the Bossy Bon Bon:D

I should be getting to bed, but I just gotta see Phred's pics:D

Memorial Day 2003, it became a yearly event, and although we still try to have 203 others during the year. memorial Day is usually the biggest. Who would have ever thought?!? (LInks to all the previous Memorial Day gathering on on the first page of this thread)

Ditto! :D

Gina made it back to Rochester safely, she's dealing with stuff there right now, which is why she hasn't posted, but she and Crayola did make it back.


Thanks again for all the pictures, everyone!

I did came home safely, went straight bed then only had a couple of hours the next day looking around shelters for my two remaining missing cats before returning the car to friend's at 2PM last monday. and came back to my collapsed home.

here's more there. I can't be here for now and sorry, I will post pictures when I can.

before I don't, thank you everyone very much for treats/goodies and those who gave crayola his birthday gifts and for fun meeting we had. anna, the cake was cute and tasty. one and all, you all are a dear.

What a great time we hade!! It was so nice to meet everyone & of course their pups. :D
I'm down in Coldwater now, staying with my best friend using her computer. I'll be home in a few days with pics to share! :D

We already can not wait until next years bash!

I am so so sorry I didn't make it there. I have been slowly savoring these pictures. :D It looks like such a wonderful time. The kiddie pool was a great idea! The pictures were all great there are so many of them I love; you are all so good at taking pictures. I hope to make one of these meets I really do. There are so many people and dogs I want to meet. I will be anxiously waiting for more pictures and more stories.

What size crate would I need to steal Huney? ;)

Gina sweetheart, I just read about what happened. Please know I'm praying for you.

Sue, we hope to see you, Joe, Kaige and Indy again soon!

Liz, it was really great seeing you, Smokey and Maggie...sorry we weren't around when you left.

Glad to hear everyone's pups are savoring their goodie bag treats:D

Amy, Staci...that picture seems like ages ago! So glad we could start this whole meeting thing:D
