(*Fun time with friends ~ 22 pics*)

We got together and had a picnic/Kiara's Birthday party with some friends from another forum. Eight people, nine dogs - include PT's own Amber and Grant. ;]

I got brave and brought everyone but Simba. They were all so well behaved. I was able to walk all three by myself in between the park/beach/our picnic area. All three were within voice control inside the park. I was very proud as I was expecting a disaster from my three!

Anyhow, here are some photos.. only a smidgen of what I really took!

Nala greets Indy. I've shown her to a few of you. I love this dog. She is so gorgeous!

This is Pepper. Her mom, dad, and sister Abby came down from Tennesee. We'll be taking them out to one of the islands on Tuesday. =)

Alex puppy arrived, Grant, Moo, and Dora have to sniff him..

Moo & Ki bringing me the frisbee. You all have no clue how happy this makes me. I've always admired the way other's pups bring back toys together at the park. Kiara doesn't share her toys with just ANYONE.

After packing everything into the truck and everyone heading off, my three wondering where they all went...

We drove around the park before heading home and we got to see this amazing creature...

That's all! =)

Woooohoooo! Looks like you all had a blast..and I LOVE the group picture!! :D

The Muttlies are gorgeous, Moo is growing up to be such a handsome guy. I absolutley love the pic of Ki and Mufasa bringing back the frisbee! It was also great to see Grant!! :D

It looks like you all had a fun day! Nice pics. :D

Looks like a great time was had by all. :D I really love the picture of Nala and Mufasa lying on the beach. I can't believe how big Moo has gotten (that is probably because I was just looking at some pictures of him from February when he was smaller than Ginger). I also love Pepper and Abby; Abby is such a pretty girl. Hope to see more pictures of them from Tuesday's adventure (hint, hint ;) ). The group shot is great, you are absolutely magic at getting so many dogs to cooperate. The eagle (?) is gorgeous; I love the in flight picture.

Wow, that must have been so much fun! =D
And oh my, I never noticed quite how big your "little" Mufasa is getting. He's growing into such a handsome young man. Everyone looks wonderful!
Thanks for sharing so many gorgeous pups!

What Great Pics!!!!:eek:

Wonderful pics! Indy is such a neat looking dog! :eek: Moo is getting so big! He's growing into such a handsome young man. :)

Great pics Kay. Sorry Grant was being such a butthead. I think he was just tired and worn out as he laid down and took a little nap the whole way home. Other than that it was a great time.

Wow! It looks like all of the doggies had a blast! It looks so fun. And man your camera takes amazingly good pictures. You must have a really expensive camera..what kind is it?

My fav picture had to be the group one, all those beautiful dogs in one picture is so awesome!:D

goodness, mufasa! it has been a while since I see him, so of course I came to your most recent thread to see how big he has had gotten. it's good to see three of them again.

a picture of all dogs is always good, I can see you love doing that. hugs to simba too.

What a fun day! How do you do it...eight all sitting up, not messing with each other...all looking at the camera? Moo looks as big as Kiki in that group photo! He is a cutie! Mmmm, pretty cake, too.

What a fun time that must have been for everyone! I loved all the pictures. Indy is beautiful. The group shot what can I say but wow. :D

What fun!! I want to steal Grant and Indy. :D

Great Pictures, it really looks like all of the dogs had an absolute BLAST! :D

Wow!
That group picture was GREAT!!

I love the pic of Nala and Moo pooed out on the beach!
"Nap Time" :D

Great pictures!! I always seem to feel like I was there when I look at your pictures.
My bird expert friend says it is an Osprey you captured in flight. :D

That looks like a blast! :D Indy has to be on the most GORGEOUS dogs list, somewherer near the top! That eagle is :eek: :eek:
I think I may have forget to tell her, Happy belated birthday Kiara. :)

Awesome pictures, Kay! :)

Seems like you all had lots of fun :D I have no idea how you managed to take that group shot, but it must have been hard!

Moo is looking great, he has become such a handsome guy.

*dies* Moo is so gorgeous. I.want.him!!!

Was this at Ft. Desoto? Are you going to the Lab get together at the end of the month there? I might be going, but don't know for sure yet.

Cute pics!!!!!!!!!!! It looks like the dogs had a blast at the beach and the park. :D

I can't believe I missed this! Those pictures are beautiful like always! Btw, Kiara's cake looks absolutely scrumptous. Was it for the pups or the humans? Frankly, I would've cut out a piece and ate it myself :D

Great pictures! Love the group picture. I don't know how you got that set up. It looks like they all understand that they are sitting for a group picture. My family has trouble with that!

I thought I replied to this thread, but apparently I didn't. Beautiful pics, that looks like SO much fun!! I love the group shots! I hope I get to meet some of these dogs in florida. :)

I can't believe I missed this (and Kiki's birthday!). So, here's a happy belated birthday to your beautiful, sweet girl! :)

The pictures are beautiful as always. The dogs look like they had a great time together. I recognize a couple (Dora & Alex) from another board I visit. I love the group shot.

Is she a Brittany??

Nope, Abby is an English Setter. :)

Really? Wow, she looked just like a field-bred Britt.

Really. She is an English Setter.

I can see the difference now...I guess it was the angle...

Here's a field-bred Brittany...

These are beautiful Kay, your photos just get better and better! Mufasa has grown into such a handsome boy. Looks like everyone had a blast!

Looks like everybody had one heck of a time!
