A Plea for HELP!!

Boots, don't you know dogs don't know cat speak , you cats have the advantage of being bilingal . No excuses for being lazy about reading the memos. Just think about it if you have a problem with an other cat you have 3 large back ups.

Toledo Mutt show? Is this a regular dog show? If so, you better check if dogs that aren't registered can attend. Especially if it's an indoor show. Outdoor shows are a lot harder to inforce the rule.

Candy, this is a fund raiser for our Humane Society, and part of the Great American Mutt Show. It designed specially for the unregistered, mixed breed dogs, and fun games for the purebreds as well....all dogs are welcome!!

Phred, check out the thread in Meetings for more info!! I'm sure we can grab an extra hand somehwere to help with Boswer...and I bet Cinder would do great in the "mostly" shepherd category!

Hmmm.....this spot looks perfect for a certain 40' motorhowze...is that by chance why you took this particular picture, Phred?

Looks like you all had a wunnerful time. I think Bowzie is in doggy heaven. He's got two great playmates/leaders/tow vehicles (since he usually seems to bring up the rear ), he's got a nice warm bed to sleep in, even if it does have a cat jumping up and waking him up now and then, he demands and gets treats, and I'm sure he's getting more lovin' than he's gotten since Grandpa went to the home. He looks happy in the pictures and that is just so wunnerful.

Bowser STEALS MY HEART with every picture you post! And your "tales" have me laughing so hard I cry!!!
Just wanted to let you know that I've been following along...and am enjoying myself tremendously!
Bowser has made so much "progress" already...I can't wait to see what he'll do next!

I'll have to "check" if Berlin has any size restrictions;
but I'm sure I've seen 40 footers in the Campgrounds.
You can check the Corps site at >>>
Corps of Engineers ~ Berlin Lake

Berlin's "Mill Creek Recreation Area" (the Formal Name of the
"Park" area) is *nice* - clean and usually quiet at night (NO Booze
allowed to be "visible"); big drawback is there isn't really
very much to "DO" in the immediate vicinity.

As for Bowsie... He sure "TRIES" to keep up with the Other Two...
but those durn short Legs!

Gotta give him credit - he HAS started to catch on about the
ROPE and Y-Thingy - he's become more observant and pays attention to
WHICH side of trees, sign posts and guardrails the Other Two passed on.

It seems to me that Bowsie has the heart of a lion and the face of an angel!

I imagine he cannot believe his luck...........so he isn't gonna mess with nobody and he's gonna do what Papa Phred wants!

(besides, Papa Phred has the treats)

Phred, I ordered a three dog Y-thingie from petedge.com I have not used yet, what Ralph did and said it didn't work out too bad.


Sounds like Bowser had a fun trip!! Must have felt like quite the star getting to go in everywhere and greet everyone! What a good boy!

Now don't you go bad mouthin us with short legs! As one who is vertically challenged myself, I can tell you our legs are just fine. As long as they reach the ground, they are long enough! It may take us a little longer to get where we are goin but that gives us more time to enjoy the scenery!

WOW! Bowzie can shop now! Did he get to pick out his own goodies? I bet he is feeling like a super star from all the attention.

Cinder and Smoke, don't worry, you will always be super stars to us too!

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I wish I lived closer to the area so I could go.

Phred,
I just loved this line!

I just love the way you tell a story!!!

[delidog]

THANKS for the "tip", Amy & Ralph!!

We now have an "assortment" of 2 and 3-Dawg Couplers on the way!

PetEdge.com has some GOOD Prices - but you need to order $50 Bucks
worth of "stuff" to avoid a "small order" penalty of $7
IN ADDITION to a minumum Shipping Charge of $7.00!
(And YUP! I made it to $50 bucks! )

Maybe we should organize a Group Buy just before a
Findlay Gathurin to pool the shipping & handling costs. ;

I will be ordering periodically for our Therapy Dog group and can post something each time I do to see if anyone inthe area needs anything. I got a lot of Christmas presents there this year...and although I made the $50, it was reasonable for all the dogs I was buying for!!

I must be one of the blindest people at Pet Talk to just now realize this thread's existance . I have got to make a habit of checking out other sections of the board more often. In the dog girl/boy thread, I saw Phred list 2 boys and a girl, and I knew then I had missed something! .

I've read about half of the posts and realized I must get back to work for now and read the rest later, but I was enthralled and enchanted and misty eyed through the first half. Phred you are a true wonder and inspiration. Those words are pitifully inadequate but the best I can do to describe my feelings!

Thank you for the beautiful read and I plan to finish later.
