We're finally *limpin along* in "Safe Mode" (whutebber dat is) till Dad figgers out

FURST Off - Dad wunts Cinners an Me to THANK allua our FurBuds anna Two-Leggers
fur the NICE way ya'll treated our lil FosterSis - MiniMutt (aka Heidi)!! :)
She sez she hadda **BLAST** all weekend!!
She mita *curled a lip* an muttered a lil *Grrrrr* or two iffin sumbuddie got into her
tiny lil space; but she alluz mellows out an nebber holds a grudge. Heck, she
eben did sum *rompin* wiffa LCJ's (Lawn Chair JERK's) labby pup "Logan".
We set uppa fire affore we wandered into da Bark Park; but az usual,
Chef Mr. leCarl did a SUPER Job of doin allua grill werk an had lunch ready in good tyme>
***YUMMIE***!!
And Dad sez ALLUA other dishes an sides were DEEEE-Licious!!
WELCOME to Madi's Mom (Cheri) an Madison ... they got da Urlee Burd Award fur bein
Furst inna Park on Sunday! And NOW they're Postin Pet Tawkerz, too!
SO SORRIE poor lil Madison became wunna "Logan Lab's" *squeek* toys;
but Madi's Mom rescued her affore any damage was done.
Dad really felt sorrie for Jen's lil PupKids - they were targets of LCJ's labbby, too.
Jen (some of us only knew her Sunday as "Lady in Pink" (wuz she wearing sumpin PINK??)) is
anudder "Local" that we HOPE joins us here at Pet Talk and at future Gathurins. She was
having a really hard tyme with LCJ and his Labby picking on her pups;
NOT to mention that "Logan Lab" had *JUMPED* on her twice - first to try
to grab her drink cup from her hand (and she was holding it UP HIGH),
and a second time to grab her shirt - when he got some SKIN!
She DID APPRECIATE Very Much that Carl came over to her (she'd retreated to the
East Side picnic table to "bawl her eyes out" (her words)) and Carl stopped to be sure
she was OK. We learned all this on Monday when Dad tooked us ober to the Dawg Park to
'take the edge off' affore we visited at da Kuhn Dawg Sankshooairey.
Jen (Lady in Pink) was sittin atta piknik tabel when we romped in an sed 'Howdie' to her Pups.
She an Dad wuz chattin fur a while whenna bell went off in Dad's head ~ *BOING* ~
'HEY - are you the "Lady in Pink" from yesterday?' *YUP*!
Jen's a REALLY *Nice Girl* wiffa pretty :) when she's not spittin nails :mad: at
a CREEP like LC Jerk! She & Dad wuz tellin CREEP Tails fur a while.
As fur Our Miz Amy's tellin off LC Jerk - she dun a *PHINE* Job of it ...
but he wasn't listnin. :mad:
Onna way out (when most ebberbuddie left fur lunch atta Pavilion), LCJ was
for some reson out of his LC and over by the gates runnin his mouth ---
Dad sed maybe it was wuz tyme to 'make a phone call' ... LCJ offered his phone number again. We shudda called; but LCJ did vacate the place soon after.
It was such a PLEASANT Gathurin after he left!
Monday wuz PHUNN, too. We started atta Dawg Park an ran into Miz Jen - then off to
da Kuhn Ranch ... MOM called onna way ... "Where ARE you guys!??"
We all stormed in an made it a TWELVE Dawg Gathurin =
da regular 5-Dawg Kuhn Klan, da three Army Dawgs, Keegan, an Us Three ...
not to mention allua TWO-Leggers ...
* Mom & Dad (Diana & Carl),
* Christy, Jasmine & Dominic,
* "Lil Sis" Julia & Hubby/Santa look-alike "Unka Joe" (they run the Toledo Kat Pharm),
* Staci and

If you go east on 6 from 75, it is right behind the jail,
