The 4th of July Picnic...Tons of Pics!

Hi everyone! We had a great time with the family yesterday and ate tons of food. Of course you know me I was excited to see all the dogs. We took Katie and Tori and there were about 5 other family dogs there ( I think). They were all so cute. I also ran into alot of doggies and I was thrilled. I saw my first adult mastiff (I didn't ask what he was because I just assumed he was a mastiff and not a bull mastiff because of his size...HUGE...he had to weigh close to 200 pounds). I have only seens puppy mastiffs before so I was so shocked at how big he was. The picture does not truly show his size! You just had to see him. Alden had taken Katie for a walk and told me that night that he ran into a woman with a Bedlington Terrier (I'm not for sure if I'm saying that right). My husband did NOT come and get me! I could have killed him!! I have never seen this breed before and I don't think there are a whole lot of them here in the states. Of course when we took Katie and Tori for a walk we got several comments about them and you know how much I like that! :p

Anyhoo.... it was great getting together with the family, the food was fantastic and there was tons of it of course and lots of little furfaces running around. What could be better! Hmmm...maybe if it was just a litte bit cooler. Boy, was it hot!!

Here are the pics if anyone wants to just go on to the album. There are doggies, people and just a little bit of eveything. They are not the best quality though.

I'll post a few here:

SWEET LIL ANGEL (she was so cute, they said she was a mix of great dane and ?...they had just lost their great dane 3 weeks ago...she seemed so scared of the big girls at first but it didn't stop her from walking up to them and she even dribbled she was so nervous. Her and Katie seemed to really like each other and before Angel walked away she was wagging her little tail and didn't want to leave....soooooo cute!)

GREAT pictures Robin!!!

OMG.. Angel & Sissy are so freakin cute!! Your two are so gorgeous.. and Brandon's hair! haha :D :D :D


I especially like the picture of the girls and Alden. :D
I read your PM but i'm too lazy/sleepy to respond right now, so i'll do that later.

Loved all the pics... looked like fun!! :)

GET BACK HERE, KATIE!

(I don't know if you can see the line that Katie is on, but her line was about 5 feet longer than Tori's and at one point Tori just did not like that big sis could go farther than her so first she started biting Katie's legs and when that didn't work she started tugging on her line. It was hilarious!! This went on for quite awhile and was very entertaining. Tori would get her way and big sis would come back for a bit...LOL

BIG BOY, ROCCO

Well, I have posted a ton again! Hope you all weren't too bored.

Thanks for letting me share!

Robin :)

Great pics!!! It looks like everyone had a nice time! All of the dogs are adorable! :D

Great pictures! Looks like it was a fun time. All the dogs are gorgeous, and of course, your two are extra extra gorgeous!! I always enjoy seeing your pictures.

(BTW, send some of that warm weather our way. It was only about 57 degrees here today. :eek: )

Hi Karen and Kay!

Thanks for the comments.

First of all I have to tell Rocky that Katie says hi and is just wagging that fluffy tail and sends out lots of sloppy wet kisses. ;)

Kay, isn't Sissy so cute. She growled most of the day and couldn't stand it when I was taking a picture of her. She was growling in most of them that I took. She was too funny. My cousin's husband said "Now that dog has some issues"....hahahaha. Do you think you could do anything with the pic that I posted..get my uncles legs out of there or something. I love that pic of Sissy and would like to print it out for them.

Hey, now what is so funny about Bran's hair ;) The fact that it is longer than mine, prettier than mine!~ I think I'm finally getting use to his long hair...hehehe! :p

57 degrees...Wow! I didn't realize that Minnesota stayed cool so long. After yesterday I would love some 57 degree temps. I love the cold weather. How is your new camera doing? I love your sig and avatar. Great job!

And...Amy..are you sure that is not a grown up Tori in your sig!

Robin :)

It's not usually this cool this time of year. We have had a very rainy, cool summer so far. It gets warm for a couple days, then we have very cool weather, cloudy rainy for about 4-5 days before it starts warming up again. Ichhhhhhhh, very depressing!

I love my new camera so far. I've been experimenting today with it, it's really neat. I bought a 256MB memory card for it, so I can take LOTS of pictures!!:)

I can't believe how much Tori has grown! They look so good together. You should consider yourself very lucky. I love Angel! She looks so sweet. Lots of pretty dogs there. Looks like a great time.

:) ;) :p

Absolutely Wonderful Pics!!!!

All the Dogs are Gorgeous!!!!
Tori is SOOOO Big!!!!

Love the Mastiff....
Love ALL The Pups!!!!

Wonderful pics Robin! Looks like you guys had a great time :)

All the pictures are great Robin! I just can't wait to show the pictures of Rocco to Mark:D

I see why you were so tired when you got home Sunday, looks like you had a great time with your family!

Thanks for sharing your day with us.

Great pics RobiLee! Katie and Tori are so beautiful. I'm somewhat partial to Lily though. What a Cutie! Tell your Grandmom she's got good taste in pooches.;)

Par...

I am glad I went back for another look.
You downloaded more great pictures!!!

Rocco is huge!!! :D

I don't know how I missed these! :D
