Have fun everybody!
Hope to see lots of pictures and everybody home safe and sound! I wish I could go, but I live too far away!
Kari and Justin are heading their way home... Judy, Joey, & Skye are at the hotel right now, they plan on coming back in a bit to go to the beach, but Skye had to eat and rest for a bit. :)
We've gotten some wonderful pictures. I'm so proud of Duke. He got along with my girls so wonderfully. I hope this continues as it'll make Valerie and I's visits MUCH better. No locked up doggies! :)
Look how amazing these dogs are.

I'll be sure to post more later. :)
How cute, I can't wait to see more! :)
lovely to see those dogs together! :)
That is an AWESOME group shot! AWWW, thanks for the teaser pics :) Can't wait for the rest!
I love the group shot! :) I cannot wait to see more! :)
Great pictures!!! I can't wait to see the rest!
All the dogs did really well today. There were a few growls here and there but that's to be expected. Duke has done great! I am so thankful for that medication because it's made Duke his old self again. He's back to tossing his rawhide and playing in his blanket. He hasn't been doing that for months now. We had a very nice day and I've got lots of good pics that will have to wait until at least tomorrow and maybe Tuesday. We're all pooped now. Simba and Kiara are curled up in chairs and Duke is stretched out on the floor. Of course I got pics of that, too
What a great picture of the group!! Can't wait to see the rest!!
I can't wait to see the ones you took, Valerie! I can't believe this day has come and gone already! I wish I could have met you guys!Quote:

We had such a good time. Thank you so much Kay. One of these days you will all have to come over here (we don't have a pool though).
All the dogs impressed me. Kiara jumping constantly in the pool after her tennis balls, last time I saw her she was just getting used to the water (that was ocean though).
Nala was just so calm and sweet, quite the lady.
Simba totally impressed me with his swimming- yep, he got in the pool (with a little help).
Duke was wonderful! Oh my goodness, I love that dog. He is so sweet. He just always wanted to be petted. He's such a love bug.
Skye was so good. She amazed me with how calm she was. I expected her to be a big goofy puppy, and she was, but not in the way I expected. She followed Judy around everywhere, it was so cute.
Nova even impressed me. She has met all of the dogs before, with the exception of Skye, but she is usually a bit timid around larger dogs, but she did well. Nova's biggest friend that she plays with on a regular basis is a cocker, so you can see she's not all too used to big dogs. By the end of the day Kiara and she were actually playing and chasing each other around the pool.
I have a busy day today, but wanted to post a quick post here while I eat my lunch. Tomorrow will be a much calmer day for me and I'll be able to post pictures then.
It seems like everyone did! I think it all worked out for the best! I can't wait to see your pictures, Kari!Quote:

Can't wait to see some more! OMGosh! Look at the size of Skye to everybody else! LOL! Judy, I don't think Skye is gonna lose the blue in her eyes!
Looks at them all, posed perfectly in bandanas, matching! :D
I'm home!!! :D Phew! That was a longggggggg drive. We left Florida at 9:00 am and arrived home at 8:30 pm! And only 3 stops! Skye was sooo good on the way home. She slept almost the whole time :D
I haven't got a chance to even look at my pictures yet, but I'm sure there are a few to post ;) so I'll be back after work with my "tails from Florida"
Thanks again to everyone! We had a great time and can't wait to do it again...after some recovery time from the first drive ;) :p
Well, hopefully, next time, I can help out with that part! Finn's in surgery right now! ;) Glad you are home safely, Judy! Hi to Joey for me!Quote:

I hope Finn did well in his surgery. Here's some teaser pics. There's one of my favorites of each dog.

We had a great time and we're still pooped. I've got to work tonight so hope I can find some energy to stay awake all night.
Love the teaser pics :D
I just got home from Orlando (went and stayed at a hotel for the night with my friends.) The rest of my pictures will hopefully be up soon.
Unfortunately, the peace between Duke & Nala & Kiara didn't last long. Nala and Duke got into it. Poor Nala got 6 or 7 bite marks on here face.... now if she couldn't look any sillier than she already did. :p I believe Duke got 1 on his lip or something.
I just think Duke got sick of being around them.. just like kids get sick of being together after a while.

Skye really isn't much bigger than Nala.:)
Nala's a bit taller, although Skye's legs/paws are bulkier.
She's actually only about 10 pounds heavier than Nala.
I wish Nala wasn't hurt so she could have played better.
I know, that's what I thought, too! She and Finn were almost the same size, I think Finn is a little heavier, though, (or at least he was a couple weeks ago, Skye's probably gained weight since then!!) but, only because he's got more adult, developed muscle. Check out the photos from Myrtle Beach and you'll see what I mean! And, I can't wait to see more photos from the Florida trip! So far, they're all fantastic!Quote:

and, kay, i'm sorry to hear about Nala. It's just not been her month. :(
As for Finn, so far, so good! :) He's staying overnight at the humane society, though. I'll get him and bring him home tomorrow morning. As for those photos, they're awesome! That is a tease, Valerie! I read Kay's post about the friendliness ending, though, that stinks. I'm sorry that Duke and Nala got hurt. :(Quote:

Yeah, Duke bled a little, too but he's alright. Also, he hadn't been growling at Nala but Nala had at him. We figured it was because she wasn't feeling well and they had been together for so long. I don't consider it a big setback at all. I'm super sad it happened for both dogs. We'll just have to watch them the next time I visit and monitor them so it won't happen again.
I did see Duke growl and give Nala that "look" he gives the girls.
I don't think it was just because Nala hadn't felt well, but Duke was thinking he was 'king' of the house since he had been out there so long, when in fact it's Nala's house, not his. He was staring them down all that morning and did take that snap at Kiara as well. Kiara was afraid of him all morning.
Poor Nala looks pitiful. She keeps trying to scratch at all of the marks on her face (and her hot spot as well.) :(
She's just had too much happen to her this month. Hopefully no more unexpected vet bills are in our future.
Well, it's good to know neither of them are in terribly bad condition. That stinks though, but, it's awesome that you're not taking it as too big of a setback, as you said. :)Quote:

Wow, I just don't know what to say.......... Maybe we'd better not visit for a while now. It kind of seems like you resent Duke or something. Really sorry it turned out that way. Guess this is why you didn't answer me on AIM.

I just don't like the fact that you almost always blame it on Nala. It's not completely her fault! Duke is constantly giving Kiara and Nala the eye. Nala won't put up with that crap. Kiara on the other hand is terrified. Remember, this isn't the only problems Duke has had with other dogs recently.
I had been so proud of you and Duke as he did great in the beginning of the day Sunday, and you seemed to have taken a lot more accountability for his actions.
I didn't reply to you on AIM because for one, I was away, and another I'm a tad bit upset and don't feel like chatting on AIM, with anyone.
If you feel you want to talk more about this, please PM me as I don't think it's something that everyone else needs to be a part of.
Oh my, I just read this thread again and see the little issue at the end. Val and Kay I hope this doesn't hurt your friendship. You 2 seem to have a great time together will all of the dogs. Dogs have moods too and sometimes they don't want to be messed with. Like someone said they can be just like kids and adults as well and get tired of each other. It's no one's fault and certainly let's not blame the dogs. This is definitely not something to potentially ruin a friendship over. I don't know if you guys have settled this outside of PT and if you have please disregard this. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. Everyone gets grumpy at times, even dogs. :(
Amber, I'll PM you. :)
