Memorial Weekend - Findlay Ohio!

[Cincy'sMom]

I'm sorta surprised we are the first to report! Had a very nice afternoon. It was starting to sprinkle a little around 5, but was nice up too that point, and that didn't last long. We hit some heavy rains on the way back, but made it home safe.

Had a great time as always! Lots of good food, good friends and tired puppies! I don't know that I will get to post pictures tonight, we have another party to get to, but I will get them up tomorrow. Hope everyone had a safe trip home!

We're home! Had a great time, and like Amy said, we had wonderful weather.

Kia was on her very best behavior this time. Even with Keegan and Roxey! Angus was just a doll. It was great seeing Simba and Nala again...and this time we met Karen, Paul, Tori, Honey, Smokey, AND Jasmine!

It rained the majority of the way home. Hit some real heavy rain too. It made our goodbyes with Donna real quick.

Everyone take care!!!

*edit* Oh.. and Smokey brought Liz too!

We're home too!! As we were coming home the radio said there was a Tornado warning until 10pm for the listening area.
Had a severe storm after we got home.
Miss Priss Keegan didn't drink very much water while we were there so She drank for over 5 minutes straight when we came home! I was afraid it would upset her belly but she's been ok so far.
I was thinking the same thing Kimmy. There were no squabbles that I know of!
Angus was AMAZING!!!
I hope everyone has a safe safe trip home!!!

Today at the dog park, we had a special event.

We're not back home, but we do have Internet access at the hotel! I am sunburnt, but we had a lovely time, and enjoyed meeting everyone, and everydog! We took a bunch of pcitures, but won't have them up until we get home, probably!

Every human and dog was nice and pretty well behaved, only a few "time outs" were needed, and there was plenty of food and fellowship and people to throw tennis balls and dispense treats ... for humans and dogs, too.

As we - Robilee with Tori, Phred, Paul and I were stragglers, we were still kinda packing up when the deluge hit, AND the nice ranger came to tell us "tornado warning!" Tori didn't really like the thunderstorm, so see and Robilee ran through the rain to the car - and Cinder and Smoke tried to go with 'em! After waiting out some of the worst of the thunderstorm, we did leave, though Paul got drenched, and Cinder, Smokey and Phred got rained on, too.

But it was a very nice afternoon, and we hope KayAnn and family, who started their drive back to Florida before the rain started in earnest have a safe drive back home, and that all others will report in as well!

Great pictures, Stacy! I haven't done anything with mine yet. My sister was here when I got home so she has been working on my computer and it is now up and running great again. A deluge of rain hit here - and my ponds are all full again - they had gotten a little low.

Great day, great food, great people, great dogs.

Did Liz make it?

I made it home safe and sound! I had a great time and loved seeing everyone. I've unloaded the car and Tori and Katie are running around like crazy and happy to be together again. Like Karen said we got caught up in that storm. Boy, it sure was raining. I am drenched and off to change my clothes. I'll post my pics later.

Phred just called to see if I made it home safe. He is on his way home now. He was wondering if Liz was home safe and sound. Does anyone know.

More later....
