Well, we're back at the Ranch now ...
Took the REALLY "senic" route home ...

and the Pilot & all Three Co-Pilots are *bushed* ... past *bushed* !!

Pet Talk was well represented at the Husky Hike!

Pat & JoJoe brought Star & Sherman;

Anna brought Roxey;

Jennifer brought Cheyanne (SP?), Mickey/Nicky ???, and Foster "Scotch"!
(Hey - I'm TIRED! Be happie I got the Hoomin names right!)

And Cinder, Smokey & Bowser let "Dad / Phred" drive da Bus and Hold da leash.

Amy (wolf_Q) was even there (in Spirit) with the Donation of a Certificate
for one of her PORTRAITS in the Silent Auction ...

Took me THREE *RAISES* over my first bid - but Guess Who won the Portrait!?
THANKS, Amy!!!!
(And just 'tween you & me - I think YOUR Portrait was the High Money item
in the auction!!)

We all had a PHUNN Tyme;
and PIX were taken! (We'll run the photo lab tomorrow.)

We made "most" of the Hike (about ~1.6 of the 2 LONG miles) ...
It was a toss-up whether Bowz or da Bus Driver tossed in the towel first ...
Both were still standin (and breathing) when we got back ...
just walkin a lil * s l o w *!

OH ... and da BOWZ got either first or second place in the
Bobbing for a Hot Dawg contest!

More tomorrow ... we'z ALL headin fur da BigBed!!
